Post Tiles

Description

Post tiles allows you to use the shortcode [post-tiles] on any page or post and displays a grid of posts in a tile format. (Live Preview)

By default 8 posts are displayed. To change the amount of posts to display on the page, use the posts=’ ‘ attribute in the shortcode. Example: [post-tiles posts=’10’]

By default all post categories are called for the tiles. To specify the categories use the categories=’ ‘ attribute separating them by commas. Example: [post-tiles categories=’1,2,4′]

By default the tiles use the excerpt trimmed to 20. You can specify your excerpt length with the excerpt=’ ‘ attribute. Example: [post-tiles excerpt=’18’]

NOTE: The category id numbers are listed below, next to the category names. You can use both the categories and posts attributes Example: [post-tiles categories=’1,2,4′ posts=’8′ excerpt=’18’]

FAQ

Why do I see an big blank space?

If in the settings jQuery is turned on then by default everything loads invisible and is revealed with a fade. You should check your version of jQuery to make sure you’re running at least 1.4 +. To test whether jQuery is the issue in the settings you can disable the jQuery and the plugin should appear.

My web collapses

Me petó la web al instalarlo. No muestra nada, me la bloquea por completo y pantallazo en blanco. Not run in my web (new version of wp).

Great, easy to use – excellent results

Toni September 3, 2016

I have had to wrestle with settings in other plugins to get any results – This plugin creates great results with just the simple shortcode. If you choose to customize it’s easy and straight forward. The category ids are listed in the settings page – excellent! I love the color wheel and ability to color by category with the key. Such an elegant solution! I have many posts without images so this solution is ideal because the tiles with text look cool, and adds a nice mix with images. Thank you for your hard work to provide a simple to use, very cool, plugin.

nice plugin, is it still supported?

alex.alp September 3, 2016

this a very cool post slide plugin, but it seems this plugin has no longer support or has been abandoned…the demo site is gone and there are many answered support tickets. It would be really a shame if this is case, i want to have it updated and keep using it I hope to hear from the dev soon to know the actual plugin state thanks for the plugin btw!

Nice plugin
