Hi @udibob,

Thanks for your comment.

Is WP Tiles currently enabled on that page? I can’t seem to find it on your site. What is showing up when you display the page – is the gallery showing up at all, or is it completely hidden? Also, does the gallery work if you don’t set it to use WP Tiles?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @francesca,

The language file in the plugin is very outdated – something from the todo list! I have just updated the pot file on the develop branch on Github. You can find it here. I’ll also include it in the next plugin update.

Cheers,

Hi @salzi,

You can pass a post type to WP Tiles with the post_type parameter:

[wp-tiles post_type=page]

You can also combine post types by separating with comma’s:

[wp-tiles post_type=post,page]

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @carosea, you can check if any posts have been found by checking what the number is in $query->found_posts. If it’s 0, you can show your default message:

if ( $query->found_posts === 0 ) {
   echo 'No posts founds.';
} else {
   the_wp_tiles( $query );
}

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @npostema,

Not without also reducing the width, currently WP Tiles reasons in square blocks only!

Hi @anieuwhof,

Thanks for reporting back! You’re right.. the shortcode builder uses the category name instead of the slug. WP can be a tad confusing around what a name is when it comes to categories!

I have fixed this on the develop branch, will include the fix in the next update.

Cheers,

Hi Carlo,

The trick is to figure out what the minimum height is of the .wp-tiles-container in web inspector, and then setting that as the min-height in your theme css.

Good luck!

Hi George,

I just dived into the Suffusion source, and found that the theme is adding a link to the excerpt. The trick to remove it is by disabling that filter in your functions.php:

add_action( "after_setup_theme", function(){
    remove_filter('excerpt_more', 'suffusion_excerpt_more_replace');
}, 20 );

This will remove the Read more link from excerpts.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @anieuwhof and @tt Medialab,

That’s strange! I just confirmed it is still working with the latest WP Tiles on my test install. Did you double check that the category name is correct, by checking in the categories overview in wp-admin?

Also, try generating the shortcode with the shortcode button in the editor to make sure that the correct category comes through.

If it still fails, can you send me a link to a demo page and the shortcode you are using?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @nachoborras77,

The code should go in your theme’s functions.php or in your functions plugin. If you are unfamiliar with tweaking the theme functions file, there are quite a few tutorials around on the web, I recommend reading up on some basic concepts of adding code to WordPress themes first!

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi @esisaacs,

Thanks for your comment!

I love the idea of displaying videos on the tiles. Out of the box this is not possible though. I do think it is possible with some custom coding though. Here is an outline of what you could do:

• Set a custom field on your posts for a video embed code
• Set the byline template to display this embed code (%meta:META_KEY%)
• In your css, make videos in WP Tiles stretch the whole size of the tile (position:absolute;top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom:0), and try to get it to display behind the link and the byline.

Let me know if you’re going down this track and if you have any luck, I’d be very interested to see it!

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @npostema,

The height of the tiles depends of the grid you have set up. A single block in the grid (so a letter or a .) is always square. If you want to make your tiles rectangular, you have to set your grid to be rectangular, for example:

A A A B B B
A A A B B B

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @raphybox and @niaiyoga.com,

Thanks for reporting your problems. I have tested the breakpoint option on v1.0.1 and it is working on my side – the same as in beta1, so I don’t know what is causing the problem at the moment.

Just to be sure, the breakpoint option does not react to the size of the screen, but to the size of the container WP Tiles is in. For example, if your content container is max 600px wide and your breakpoint is set at 800px, WP Tiles will always show the small screen grid.

Please tell me the following:
1. Which grid is WP Tiles showing? The small screen, or the large screen grid?
2. Set all the options explicitly in the shortcode and test again. Does it work then? (eg. [wp-tiles breakpoint=300 small_screen_grid=Mobile])

Let me know!

Mike

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the detailed information. Looking through the code, everything seems fine. This means that both WP Tiles and Carousel are doing their job on PHP side. I suspect that the scripts aren’t loaded properly, but I don’t know why.

Is it possible to create a (hidden/private) page so I can see the problem for myself?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @csdaavid,

That’s strange! I have not seen this behaviour before, so I need some more information. Somebody else just reported problems with WP Tiles loaded in a subdirectory install; is your WP a subdirectory install?

If not, can you please tell me if you see any errors in web inspector? You can find them like this:

In FireFox or Chrome: Open the page and right-click anywhere on the page. Select Inspect Element. In the panel that opens, go to ‘Console’. Reload the page, and check for any errors coming up (in red).

Let me know if you see any errors, then we can get to the bottom of this!

Cheers,
Mike
