    Hi there
    I just updated to WP 1.0 and not my tiles aren’t appearing.

    I have this code on the bottom of all my category pages from the old version and just wondering if it is still the same code or if i have to update it? i don’t have too many category pages so i don’t mind updating it manually. thanks so much. ??

    [wp-tiles posts_query=’category=17′]

    Hi @ebeamer,

    Sorry to hear that the tiles aren’t showing after the update. The shortcode syntax has changed, but compatibility with the old syntax should have been preserved as much as possible.

    The new syntax for displaying tiles from a category is:

    [wp-tiles category=category-name]

    So for example:

    [wp-tiles category=accommodation-guide]

    Let me know if the tiles show up again after changing the shortcode!

    Hi.
    this new syntax doesn′t work for us.

    i′m trying to display posts in a custom grid (customer is picky ;))
    and do this by fetching posts only form one category (which is named promo)

    no dize

    suggestions?

    i DO get the one below to work though, but this will try to fetch too many posts.

    [wp-tiles post_type=”post” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” grids=”hexa”]

    I’m having the exact same problem.. just plain simple [wp-tiles category=category-name] doesn’t work. Tried it with and without ” and the same for – inbetween the category words ??

    Hi @anieuwhof and @tt Medialab,

    That’s strange! I just confirmed it is still working with the latest WP Tiles on my test install. Did you double check that the category name is correct, by checking in the categories overview in wp-admin?

    Also, try generating the shortcode with the shortcode button in the editor to make sure that the correct category comes through.

    If it still fails, can you send me a link to a demo page and the shortcode you are using?

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hey Mike thanks for your quick responce. I did find the bug eventualy. The category name you use in the query and which is used bij the generator take the name/title of the category. I got it working by using the category url “name” which in my case differs somewhat from the title. Now its working properly.

    Hi @anieuwhof,

    Thanks for reporting back! You’re right.. the shortcode builder uses the category name instead of the slug. WP can be a tad confusing around what a name is when it comes to categories!

    I have fixed this on the develop branch, will include the fix in the next update.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Mike, could you tell us when fix will be released?

    I have big problems with creating new site where i want to use your plugin beacuse of this error but without “categories support” it seems to be useless ??

    Best
