Post Ticker

Hi @cazbarr

Sorry for my delay response.

For your query,

1) Is there is a way to change the text within the Post ticker? At present, it says Latest Post.

Ans – Yes, You can. You just need to add the shortcode parameter.
e.g [bdp_ticker ticker_title="Latest Post"]

2) Can I hide the pagination?

Ans – I think you are talking about the arrow navigation which is coming on hover right?

3) Can a second blog be added to the same page, so I may have different posts/blogs in each blog?

Ans – Yes, You can use multiple shortcode on the same page. You can easily display the posts / blogs category wise.

e.g [bdp_ticker category="Category ID"] – You just need to add the category ID over here. You can find the category ID in the address bar of the browser when you edit it.

So you can display two different types of ticker on the same page with different posts or content.

Hi there,

Thank you for your response, I will give all that a go and let you know how I get on.

Just one thing slightly wrong, I was hoping to hide all the dots at the bottom, not the arrows. They’re fine as they are on hover.

Thank again for any help

Hi there,

I got my ticker working as I want, thank you.

Struggling to get my blogs sorted. https://cazbarr.co.uk/blog/ I can’t get the categories to show. It just keeps reproducing the same blog.

Can you help with this, please?

Thanks again

Hi @cazbarr

Thanks for your response.

For your query,
1) I was hoping to hide all the dots at the bottom, not the arrows. They’re fine as they are on hover.

Ans – Yes, you can hide the dots of the slider. You just need to pass the shortcode parameter. e.g [bdp_post_carousel dots="false"]

2) I can’t get the categories to show.

Ans – Sorry, I did not get it clearly. Can you please provide me the full shortcode which you are using?

Also please provide me some rough screenshot for better understanding so I can help you my best.

Hi there,

Thank you again for your help ?? I have my dots hidden now.

The full shortcode I am using is: [bdp_post_carousel limit=”-1″ show_tags=”false” dots=”false”]

My other issue is: I’m looking to sort my blogs so readers can choose which blog posts interest them the most, without the task of having to scroll through 30+ posts, as seen on my blog page: https://cazbarr.co.uk/blog/

If I understand you correctly, you say this can be done with categories?

I have no idea how to achieve this on my blog page (link above).

Thanks again for any help

Hi @cazbarr

Glad to know that your first problem has been solved.

For your query,
1) I’m looking to sort my blogs so readers can choose which blog posts interest them the most, without the task of having to scroll through 30+ posts.

Ans – As per your request, you want to show posts for particular category only. right?

If above is the case then you just need to add the category id in shortcode. e.g
[bdp_post_carousel dots="false" category="Category ID Here"]

You can find category ID in the web address bar when you edit particular category from admin.

Hi there,

Thanks again for your help. I think I must be doing something wrong. I can’t get my blog to show categories. Things I’ve tried:

1. Adding category=”Shopping” to the end of my shortcode – [bdp_post_carousel limit=”-1″ show_tags=”false” dots=”false” category=”Shopping”] – Didn’t work

2. Adding your code beneath existing code (above): [bdp_post_carousel dots=”false” category=”Category ID Here”] – Didn’t work

3. Inserting just the code you supplied: [bdp_post_carousel dots=”false” category=”Category ID Here”] – Din’t work

I’m getting the same results every time…..Blog the same as usual…Carousel of posts.

I’m not sure what you meant by You can find category ID in the web address bar when you edit particular category from admin.

Sorry, I’m not understanding your instructions.

Thanks

Hi @cazbarr

Please refer below screenshot so you will be more cleared
https://prnt.sc/tz4rx4

In screenshot you can see the “Block” category has a ID 6. So the plugin shortcode will be like this.

[bdp_post_carousel dots="false" category="6"]

The above shortcode will display the posts for “Block” category only.

I hope this will help you.

Hi Pluginandplay,

That’s worked a dream, thank you again for all your help ??

Have a get weekend.
