Trouble with Custom Post Type Categories

  • The plugin is great and wonderful. The only problem I have is filtering categories for custom post types. When I select custom post type, it displays it as expected. But when I select a category within that custom post type, it says there are no recent posts to display, even though there are custom posts int hat category. Anyone experiencing this?

    Hello, Steven!
    Thanks for the feedback!

    You’re talking about a shortcode or a widget?

    Probably this problem can occur when categories are organized hierarchically and you choose the parent category, which has several child categories. If the posts are placed only in the child category, but not in the parent category – that they might not be displayed. I will test this issue, if it really occurs – I’ll fix the bug in the next release.

    I seem to have the same problem, i am using the following shortcode to display my custom post category “videos”

    [lptw_recentposts layout="thumbnail" width="300" columns="2" posts_per_page="4" post_offset="1" show_date="true" category_id="351"]

    i am sure the custom category haves lots of entries with proper Thumbnails, all i am getting is this

    plugin version: 0.6.14
    wp version: 4.3.1

    any help is welcome ??

    I can confirm this issue. A PHP dev I asked looked at the code and said the problem lies here:

    I don’t know enough to know what he thinks the problem is, but I wanted to pass the info along. Just to confirm, when using a custom taxonomy, any attempt to filter by tag or category returns no results.
