That fixed it up, nice one thanks.

Thank you for the information and providing the links.

Great work Mikko. Your solutions resolve the problem perfectly.

Just a shame no-one at Yoast has bothered to acknowledge the issue as of yet.

What’s worse is it appears to have authenticated to a UA-profile that I don’t even recognise so no idea why that is – 62716086.

Come on guys, is this being fixed?# or what?

Yet another update to both WordPress and the plugin and still it won’t save the authentication after selecting GA profile…

5.4.1 doesn’t work for me still… Frustrating!

Hope this is fixed sooner rather than later because the plugin isn’t even connected to the GA account any longer.

Same issue here, broken as described above since update.

If I have to pass manually into post_class it defeats the object of using it, I may as well just insert the classes manually in that case (which I can’t because then my modifications to post_class from our functions file won’t work).

We ideally just need post_class to work in your plugin by default, without having to pass anything into it but take for example, we’re using this in our theme functions:-

// add category nicenames in body and post class
function category_id_class( $classes ) {
	global $post;
	foreach ( ( get_the_category( $post->ID ) ) as $category ) {
		$classes[] = 'cat-' . $category->category_nicename;
	}
	return $classes;
}

This inserts the class cat-[category name]. Even if I pass $post->category into post_class it spews out category-[category name].

This is giving me a headache ??

That passes the correct post ID into the class now (great). Now for the other 20 classes though… :/

Example from above:-

post-1402 tribe_events type-tribe_events status-publish hentry cat_arts odd wp-tiles-tile-with-image wp-tiles-tile-wrapper item

The post ID is correct.
None of the others are.

Thanks.

Oh bummer. I thought we had post_classes working but we don’t. Here is an example of the problem. If we try to use post_classes in your plugin (WPTiles.php) every single article element contains the same classes:-

post-1402 tribe_events type-tribe_events status-publish hentry cat_arts odd wp-tiles-tile-with-image wp-tiles-tile-wrapper item

Which is probably the latest post / first in the loop.

As you can imagine, this means we can’t style anything, the entire design of our blog home page is broken until we can get WordPress’s post_classes working on your plugin (hence the reason wanting to not use your render function).

Can you suggest a quick way of using post_classes on your article list in your plugin?

Hey Mike, I appreciate your replies, thank you.

We originally had our own tiles in js but what we’ve got it quite complex.

We have alternating sizes in list that goes big, small, small, big, big, small, small, big etc (your plugun lets us do this).

We also have filters that shuffles the posts at the top (but obviously, we need to keep the sizes etc when shuffled – not easy) (your plugin lets us do this as well).

We also have colour coded post types, extended functions and custom classes in our default wp query which allows us to uniquely style everything loaded in the loop (your plugin does not add the default wp post_classes nor lets us modify the query from functions.php so subsequently we’ve lost loads of styles and functionality).

Take for example, we use the events calendar plugin and had to modify the order in which events were included in the main loop using the below:-

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘tribe_post_date_ordering’, 51 );
function tribe_post_date_ordering( $query ) {
if ( $query->tribe_is_multi_posttype) {
remove_filter( ‘posts_fields’, array( ‘TribeEventsQuery’, ‘multi_type_posts_fields’ ) );
$query->set( ‘order’, ‘DESC’ );
}
}

This no longer works when we’re using your plugin.

Bit by bit, I am getting there but I’ve spent about 10 hours on this now which isn’t my time well spent ??

We like your plugin because it is a finished article to the fancy jQuery we’re needing but we already had our own styled hover effects (byline template) and a modified query using multiple functions from our theme.

I’m determined to get this working with your plugin. I hope that all makes everything clearer now.

We’ve got your plugin working fine. We’ve managed to load the post_classes in your plugin (although post id’s etc are wrong but that’s not an issue). We only now need to make our existing functions in theme functions work with your plugin and we can finish this off. It’s just loads of things stopped working as soon as we’re loading your functions.

I need to replace the whole of your render_tile_html function without doing so in your plugin files.

“you can pass a custom byline template to the_loop_wp_tiles” how? I can’t find any documentation at all that explains any of this…

I think this could be of use if I knew how to implement it. Thanks.
