post_ignore=

Hi,

Could you please provide the full shortcode you’re using in your site? The way you’ve set the parameter is ok, so in theory it “should work”:

[nlposts post_ignore=204]

By the way, are you using the latest version v3.5.4?

I’m looking forward to you answer.

Best regards,
José Luis.

here is the code:
[nlposts title_only=false number_posts=1 display_type=ulist blog_id=17 thumbnail_url=center thumbnail=true excerpt_length=5 auto_excerpt=true display_content=false excerpt_length=20 thumbnail_wh=200x200 post_ignore=204]

i have not upgraded to the most recent wp. im on 3.5

Hello,

I’ve noticed some parameters incorrectly used in your shortcode, the thumbnail_url can only be used in combination with thumbnail_custom and its value must be the URL address of your custom thumbnail. I think you meant to use: thumbnail_class=center, the excerpt_length was declared twice.

The display_content=false parameter don’t need to be declared as it’s false by default.

Try with this one:

[nlposts number_posts=1
           title_only=false
           display_type=ulist
           blog_id=17
           thumbnail=true
           thumbnail_class=aligncenter
           thumbnail_wh=200x200
           auto_excerpt=true
           excerpt_length=20
           post_ignore=204
]

As you choose “number_posts=1” it will display only one post from blog ID 17, in theory this new shortcode should work.

Please, let me know if this solve the issue.

Best regards,
José Luis.

Thank you for your reply. Post 204 still displays with the code you supplied. Is there another way to refer to it? Is there another way to keep a certain post from displaying there? There are duplicate posts in different blogs and I’d like to block them from showing up on all except one.

Correction, I changed the display to 2 and it blocks the first one. So it effectively blocks the post from being displayed, and not from being fed into the display (in other words skipping over it). I get it now.

Here is another question for you. How do I align everything to the left with no bullet marks? I want graphics title, and excerpt all aligned left with no bullet points. no ul/li.

Hello,

It “should” work with 1 post, I tested it myself but couldn’t say why isn’t working in your site.

As for the styling question, it should already display lists without bullet points, I’m wondering if the plugin’s CSS file is being included correctly. Please download this CSS file: NLP Align Left, save it to your WordPress active theme folder as nlp-alignleft.css, then add the css_style parameter to your shortcode, like this:

[nlposts css_style=nlp-alignleft]

That should do the trick.

Cheers,
José Luis.

Thanks for your help. I have set it up as you stated however, the graphic, and excerpt are bulleted as if they were in a list.

Hello, could you please provide the link to your site? at least where you’re testing the plugin? I wonder if your theme is using some sort of reset, however it’s weird because the stylesheet I provided uses the !important statement that forces the style to be applied.

thanks, please email me for a link to the site as it is of a private nature. [email protected]
