Advanced Post List

Curious what kept ya from giving it 5 stars.

This year (2017), APL has seen a lot of development, and may change some of the experiences you had in the past, but you are right about options relating to CPT & Taxonomies.

The structure with Post Types and Taxonomies in WordPress, and displaying it as a UI to filter from, was rather unique. Some of the biggest factors is complexity, size, and variable access. The feedback and experiences have helped shape what it is today, and different ideas are still welcomed.

Glad you decided to stick with APL, and thank you for taking the time to post a review. APL is still a work in progress, but hope you look forward to what it’s becoming.

That is awesome to hear. Glad you like it ??

This seems to be one of the commonly asked features, even amongst development. This is a feature that is part of the roadmap, and some updates were built with pagination in mind, but hasn’t been fully implemented yet.

The main concern has been memory usage, but compared to older situations, pagination would be more in line with WP’s Query object.

Unfortunately at the current version ( v0.4 ), pagination is not possible…unless you found a way to fake it. You can use the same Post List shortcode multiple times, and enable Exclude Duplicates on Current Page on the Post List. How you choose to display it is up to you, but an example could be the use of Tabs.

The pagination feature would be a project though with a series of tasks. Some of which may include…additional shortcodes, expanded internal shortcode instance, and likely an AJAX function (which the primary focus is the lowest amount of processing).

The feature has gotten closer to release, but is still marked as TBD.

Thank you very much ??

Enabling the Empty Message is a method to confirm a specific issue that has occured, and it appears that you are having the same issue.

However, have you had a chance to update to the recent version? If you have, and still experiencing the same issue, there is Version Status page created regarding Post List No Longer Displaying; which you may have come across already. It carries some information to help discover the issue, and possibly troubleshoot.

In this case though, I was curious if you could download either Debugger Plugins, and list the Active Plugins.

You can either use this thread, or the Post linked. The post is used as a central point, and is open for guests to comment.

Awesome! That is great to hear, and thank you for verifying the fix as well.

Next update will contain the changes, and will work with both the old and new methods.

Looks like the issue may have been spotted, and originally thought it was part of other similar issues. There already changes added, but was hoping you could confirm it. You can do one of two things, although the first of the two would probably best…

1. Replace the line with <?php if (method_exists($advanced_post_list, "display_post_list")){echo $advanced_post_list->display_post_list("relatedpost-list-titel");} ?>.

2. Or download and update to this Hotfix.

Awesome! Glad it worked for ya ??

Thank you for confirming it works. I’ll be pushing this update out soon.

Thank you for reporting the issue.

I have created a hotfix that should fix the issue. Hotfix for Admin Whitescreen.

Thank you very much for catching and reporting the error.

I added a possible fix with Post Lists not Displaying when certain plugins are active, and/or using a slug that is identical to the post/page.

0.4.2.a1 Fix Post Lists not displaying.

The problem was with the parse_query where some plugins modify queried data, and was either returning the wrong object, or nothing at all. Took awhile, but this might solve most of the display issue.

Please let me know if this fixes your issue.

Then there is something wrong with the render process. You could try troubleshooting it by changing the slug.

I also created a post so people can comment on it, and contribute some information that may help create a resolve. Feel free to comment any plugin information on Post Lists no longer displaying.

This may be a related issue to the rendering. For testing purposes…

1. Go to, Edit Post List.
2. Enable ‘Empty Message’.
3. Add any kind of message to display.

Then go to the page the Post List is suppose to render on, and if there is no message, then there it is a known bug. It’s believed to be indirectly related to a slug conflict, and it has been cited when pre_posts occurs.

You could try troubleshooting it by changing the slug, or you could try disabling some plugins to try and spot the problem (which would help us reproduce the error as well).
