Templates are no longer used

I got it to work, but i had to rename my default.php template to another name, and call the template for it to work, default template in theme is not used but instead the plugin’s default…

I am having the same issue. I made one in my theme’s folder and another template file in the plugin’s folder but it isnt working. How did you solve it?

I think the problem lies with just using the default template in your theme.
By copying that file (name it custom.php instead, for example), and adding template=custom when adding your shortcode, tye template if effectively called.

That said, I’d strongly prefer the plugin to work as before, and being able to avoid naming templates when you just need one, let’s wait for the dev’s answer about how the templating system was modified.

I did the same, but still not working.

Yeah, I hope he could respond the soonest…

Hi, I am also having the same issue, after upgrade to Version 0.50.
I found out that my template file is indeed used. I can see my css-classes, but the param ‘title_tag’ (h4 in my case) is missing. So the Title ends up as -Tag and looks like the default.
I hope this helps finding a solution.

I really appreciate this nice peace of work. We are using it a lot. That is why there are too many posts using the template-system to change them all by hand…

So I join you in waiting for an answer.

Sorry for the linking. I wrote an < a > before -Tag

I’m releasing version 0.50.1 in a few minutes which fixes this issue and a problem with catlink.

Please update the plugin as soon as it’s available and let me know if it’s working for you.

Thanks for reporting it!

Hi Fernandobt,

thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunatly the fix is not working for me. I can still see my classes, what means my template is loaded, but the title-tag remains a pure link, without the specified h4-Tag.

It was working before and I did not change the templates.

Thank you for your help.

smaxmad were the templates working before the update? If the h4 is working and you want no links on the title, use this:
https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md#no_link

The get_post_title() function used in the templates gets the title with a link to the post.

etvoilaletravail and jdev did the update work for you? If so, please comment here so we can resolve this issue and in any case smaxmad can open a new issue if there’s still a problem.

Thanks!

As the change in the template name was working and the site i used it on went live in between, i haven’t trie dto see if the default template in the themen is correctly called or not…

Hi Fernandobt,

yes, the templates were working before. I just had the h4 wrapped around the link and provided a class.
Here is my line of code for it:

$lcp_display_output .= $this->get_post_title($single, 'h4', 'catlist_cat_title');

It renders <h4 class=catlist_cat_title><a href=>...</a></h4>.

On our production site we still run version 0.38 and it is working pretty fine. Check it on .

I am testing the update on a staging site, where I can not provide you with a link to, but the result is as described, without the h4 and its class.

Sorry I am struggling with the linking over here. But the link is working ??

Template still not working on my side… Pls help.
I have this: [catlist name=private-labels thumbnail=yes excerpt=yes thumbnail_class=alignleft title_tag=h3 order=asc template=listing]

its working now… THANKS!
