Howdy @freakency – thanks for the question. We’ll take a look at this and get back to you as soon as we can. It’ll likely be early next week.

Thanks for the update @ricschug – let me know what you find out.

Hi @ricschug – are those the actual shortcodes you’re using? What category slugs are you actually pulling in?

You should be able to see the category slugs in your WordPress Admin under:

<yoururlgoeshere>/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category

Does that help?

Hi @raghum9 – I agree with @xuesolution – I don’t think this is a support question for the Posts in Page plugin but for WordPress in general. I’d encourage you to post in the Developer forum for advice.

I hope that helps!

Hi @macsuibhne – thanks for the report. We’ll look into this soon and update you.

Hi @elifergin – unfortunately, getting the posts_loop_template.php file to work with your theme can take some attention to code and would require some updates in that file.

Take a look at the pinned posts at the top of the support forum and they should help either get you started.

In short, you’ll need to figure out the HTML that is used on your current posts and mimic that in your posts_loop_template.php file.

I hope that helps!

Hi @xuesolution,

Thanks for the message. We’ll take a look at this and let you know if we have any questions.

You’re using the latest version, 1.4.4, correct?

My apologies @sewmyheadon – I got it figured this afternoon. I needed to clear the podcast plugin’s cache!

No apology needed. ?? I’m just happy it’s working for you.

Stay safe and have a great day!

Hi @jgyuricska – can you give me a bit more info about what you’re using for podcasts?

Was this something that was working for you but broke with an upgrade or are you trying to get it working for the first time?

Thanks!

Howdy @ina13 – Thanks for the answers.

I think this article might have some answers for you.

In short, when you set static pages for the Front page and Posts page in WordPress, the page you choose for the Posts page is really more of a stub or placeholder than an actual page you can edit.

There are ways to display content on that page but by default, it’ll just show your latest posts in reverse-chronological order.

Posts Page: (if not already created) create an empty page. Give it a Title that will be used on top of your posts list. This step is mandatory as you are modifying WordPress default setting. Any other content other than Title will no be diplayed at all on this specific page.

Are you actually using the Posts in Page plugin or just wanting your posts to show up on the page you named Blog?

Hi @ina13 –

I’m afraid I’m not quite understanding so maybe I can ask some questions to clarify the issue. It’s unclear to me if you’re having a problem with the plugin or with what you expect to see on your Blog page.

1. Are you using Posts in Page for the first time or have you been using it and then it stopped working for you?
2. Under Settings > Reading, what do you have set for “Your homepage displays?”
3. Can you describe exactly what you’re trying to do along with steps to reproduce the issue?
4. Is your Blog an actual page?
5. Do you have a static homepage (rather than a listing of posts)?

Thanks!

Hi @chabotjeff – it should work just fine in a shortcode widget or custom HTML. If it’s not working for you, I wonder if there’s some sort of conflict with your theme or a plugin.

Can you let us know what theme and plugins are active?

Howdy @7billionbuddhas – Not sure offhand but we should be able to figure this out.

Questions:

1. Can you post a copy of the code in your posts_loop_template.php file here?
2. What other changes have been made to the site recently that may have coincided with this issue? WP, theme, plugin updates, server updates, etc.
3. Was this specific plugin updated recently?

Thanks!
Eric

Howdy, Thijs,

Thanks for your question.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a quick and easy answer for you. We can certainly investigate this but we don’t use that page builder and don’t actually have a copy. We will have to reserve some time when we can to do some testing.

Have you contacted WP Bakery for help? They may be able to get to the bottom of this more quickly.

I did some quick searching and wonder if it’s possible that this is related to your using a custom post type?

https://kb.wpbakery.com/docs/faq/i-can-not-use-wpbakery-page-builder-on-posts-and-custom-posts/

My gut feeling is that it’s not going to work easily as that builder uses a massive amount of shortcodes in order to format pages and it’s possible that there’s some sort of conflict.

Again, sorry for not having a quick fix. Would you mind pinging the WP Bakery folks and letting me know what they say?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi @fonias1986 – the short answer is yes:

[ic_add_posts date='today-1'] – Choose the relative date of included posts. Supports formatting like date=’today-1′ (today minus 1 day), date=’week-2′ (today minus 2 weeks), date=’month-1′ (today minus 1 month), date=’year-1′ (today minus 1 year).

I hope that helps!
