I don’t think this is an option yet, but certainly needed.

Worked a treat, thanks ??

Tested and confirming all working well in the latest version of Genesis and WP.

Hi..seems when I paste code here it does not get pasted correctly… so if you copied the above, it’ll throw an error…

I’ve added it on Github, link below tested and working.

To modify the post order, use pre_get_posts

This goes in your functions.php

/**
*
* Modify Portfolio Posts Order for Archive
*
*/
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘jmd_portfolio_query’ );
function jmd_portfolio_query( $query ) {

if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && ( is_post_type_archive( ‘portfolio’ ) || is_tax( ‘portfolio-type’ ) ) ) {
$query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘menu_order’ );
$query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ );
}

}

Hi @rm2773

sorry for the late reply

thank you so much for looking into this, it’s such a great plugin.

I’ll update the shortcode now on the client site

thanks!

hey all

just kinda worked this out if anyone else needs to add some linking text.

it does require a plugin mod, but only simple, see below

in flexslider-hg.php around line 250, you will see this:

$rtn .= get_the_excerpt();

replace it with this:

if($url) { $rtn .= $a_tag_opening; }
$rtn .= get_the_excerpt();
if($url) { $rtn .= '</a>'; }

it uses the excerpt, which becomes your linking text (add some text like read more, view project etc)

bit of css styling and it works a treat!

use

.slide-data > a

for the css class…

thanks champ, but i know all that

but why aren’t the shortcodes working

i can’t just put g a, l, f j in the post meta field in the widget, i need to use the shortcode

[post_time], [post_date format=”l, F j”]

but it prints this 7:00 pm , &q000000201331;Wednesday,

getting the same issue on another new site.

anyone?

This is really urgent, as now it is playing up on a client site too

hi Nick, hope you are well

yes, of cause it does not show on singles pages, i know wordpress very well.

just leave this thread open for me champ, as soon as the client site is live i will show you the issue, unless i solve it myself, i usually figure things out ??

thankyou for all your support and this wonderful plugin

hey Nick

ok, as soon as the site is live i can show you, can’t put a link on here though till site is approved and live.

but basically as mentioned above, i am using ‘custom post types’, and using your awesome plugin to show a list of posts on a page (added a widget area to that page)

i have the settings in the widget to show posts from my custom post type, show thumbnail, post title and content limit, i’m also using the ‘order by numeric value’ and ‘meta key’ of ‘value’ with custom fields, so the client can do his own sort order.

the client wants to be able to use the ‘more’ tag in these posts, but it just does not seem to work, i have the content limit set to 300 characters (as a backup if he forgot to add the more tag)

hope this helps as that is all i can think of ??

i will test it out on regular ol’ posts when i get a chance, to determine whether it might be custom post types that it is just not working on.

hey Nick

did you want the site where it is?

G’day mate…

All this needs to be done in the stylesheet.

these are lists

• ? This is a post
• ? This is a post
• ? This is a category
• ? This is a category

…and a background image can be added in the stylesheet , but if you know little regarding css, you need to learn about creating lists first.

regarding changing the link color, again it’s via the stylesheet, but that’s easy, you only need to paste in your chosen color, eg: #777 is a light grey.

If the stylesheet is in you main root directory you can edit it via your admin/theme editor/style.css

But it could be in another folder though depending on the theme, so that style.css could be empty or have links to the stylesheets, sometimes there could be several, style, reset and layout.

you will need an editor and an ftp client (or xp has one build in)

it’s not a simple thing to do for a newbie, you need to have a good understanding of css before you tackle styling your theme.
