unexploded

Hi Mike, ah it wasn’t a complaint as such, just to make that clear- I’m grateful for the plugin! Just wanted to make you aware I guess. I wouldn’t want to say for sure that it was definitely WP Tiles that was the problem but I do work on dozens of WordPress sites; I’ve never experienced that issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the shortcode!

Does the pagination kick in automatically?

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I have just upgraded to 1.0. I have to say it was a bit of a pain – the plugin wouldn’t upgrade, the old folder wouldn’t delete. In the end I managed to overwrite it. On a positive note the management side of things seems way better!

I’ve taken a look through the documentation and I just can’t seem to see anything about updating the shortcodes to 1.x. The only one I could see was the post type example.

I’m quering using category. I’d also like to remove the display type buttons at the top. My old shortcode was as follows:

[wp-tiles posts_query="category=18" colors="#ccc, #333, #eee" show_selector="false"]

Also, is there anyway of paginating the results, or, even nicer, load more upon scroll?

Thanks very much for your help thus far.

In fact, I tried Facebook’s Object Debugger. It scrapes just the Javascript and not the post-load content.

I don’t suppose this is something that has been updated in Tiles 1.0 beta? I read something about SEO…

Hi Mike, thanks for your reply!

Well I did take a look to see if there might be any plugins causing this issue and I couldn’t find anything. Also, I checked our template and it was definitely using the_content as opposed to the_excerpt.

That said, I took the shortcode out of the WordPress page, and instead put it straight into the template using php echo do_shortcode.

This has pretty much got around the problem of displaying the shortcode, so thank you for guiding me in the right direction.

However, is it possible for it to pick up the excerpt of the most recent post? Right now, Facebook just says ‘Social Club’ as the title (the title of the page) with ‘Jimmy Trims’, which is the company name, as the description of the page.

You can see WP Tiles on https://www.jimmytrims.com/social-club

Thanks!

Hi all, just thought I’d jump in as I had the same problem. Edited my custom post types as suggested by petriknz and they came back. Thanks!

Hi there, I had a similar issue, and it turned out to be a very outdated version of jQuery that I was enqueueing. You may wish to make sure that your WordPress install and the subsequent jQuery file it includes is up to date, or if you enqueue from google like I do, make sure that’s up to date.

Hi all, just wanted to say I had the same problem and from everyone’s help, Morgyface’s final post on this thread helped me out.

Thanks!

Hi there, I have the same issue, and have had to resort to inserting an image within the body which may become a little untidy.

Are there any updates on this?

Apart from that I think it’s a great little plugin. Thanks for spending your time to create and share it.

I looked at your link, I’m after this also. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I Just want to thank TakeoK, your code works for me, thanks!

I’m having the same problem with Safari 4.0.3 and Firefox 3.5.19 on Mac OSX Tiger.

Shame because it’s a pretty good plugin, in terms of concept and execution but it doesn’t actually work correctly.

Hi, not sure if you found a way to do this as the post is 7 months old now, but I was after the same thing too. I found a site posted on the Smooth Slider forums which has done it. It’s at https://kcfilm.com/

Bit naughty, but I looked at their CSS. Basically, they’ve wrapped the text (the H2 title and SPAN description tags) in a div and give it an ID “textbody”. Then they styled the thumbnail DIV. In their CSS:

.smooth_slider_thumbnail {
position:absolute;
z-index:2;}

Then they styled the new textbody div:

#textbody {
height:100px;
margin-top:183px;
position:absolute;
width:630px;
z-index:4;
}

The above sizes are what I’ve used – do whatever for your site. Basically they’ve used absolute positioning and declared the z-index, so that the text is on top.

If you want to colour the background of the text, find #smooth_sldr_body h2 and #smooth_sldr_body span (that line didn’t exist in my CSS so I created it) and give it a background.

I have exactly the same issue. I’ve spent about four hours trying to figure this one. I’ll let you know if I have any luck.

The file exists but screen-meta-links isn’t in global.css. 2.8.4. I can only see references to it in css colors fresh and classic. But they’re only to do with the link colour.

Sorry I think I’ve got it working now, I’ve reuploaded AGAIN and it worked… I don’t know why!
