Absolutely PERFECT!!

Thank you for your help. Its exactly how I wanted it to appear. AWESOME!!

Hi again – When I choose “link to the post” the “custom ‘read more’ message appears below it and is highlighted in yellow. I realise that is what you are referring to. At least I think it might be? And I have selected “link to post each time. Here is the latest output from the configuration:

[latest-selected-content limit=”1″ type=”post” display=”title,excerpt-small” chrlimit=”120″ image=”thumbnail” url=”yes” elements=”13″ orderby=”titleA”]

Maybe I could manually add in the needed code? Can you let me know what that needs to be? Thanks again

Hi – Im not sure I understand your guideline. I have taken another look at the configuration page and I cannot see an option to select “read more” What am I missing?
Thanks ??

Hi Bojan,

Thanks for replying so fast ??

And sorry I did not provide the details you need.

Yes, I have tried setting number to 1, and also setting the url. It really does not matter which condition I set, as soon as ANY condition is set the popup stops presenting. The only condition it works under is “always show popup” – which is just going to bug people!!

Otherwise it looks great, so hoping we can fix this.

Cheers

Hi, Ive now read through all the posts here and tried the solution you provided in one of your suggested solutions and now have the look right. The right amount of excerpt is now showing and the image and title are where I want them. Unfortunately, its now all a link! And the “read more” still does not show up. I can see its there in the code (I am not a coder, sadly) but it is not presenting still. So still needing your help, I’m afraid.

The shortcode that produces the excerpt is below:

[latest-selected-content limit=”3″ type=”post” display=”title,content-small” chrlimit=”380″ image=”thumbnail” url=”yes” elements=”11″ taxonomy=”category” orderby=”dateA”]

I have no idea what “elements=”11″” does but that is the number that organised the content the way I wanted. elements=”3″ – which was in the code you provided as answer to another query – did not provide the organisation I wanted, so I just experimented!!

Actually I realise it might help to include the shortcode – the two versions are
[latest-selected-content limit=”1″ type=”post” display=”title,content” image=”thumbnail” url=”yes” elements=”13″ taxonomy=”category” orderby=”titleA”]

[latest-selected-content limit=”1″ type=”post” display=”title,excerpt” image=”thumbnail” url=”yes” elements=”13″ taxonomy=”category” orderby=”titleA”]
