Problem was fixed after enabling the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
Hope this helps!

]]>Hello I hope you are having a great day ??
My question is, if I choose to only show a few excerpts from a category. Is there a way I can add a next button to show the remaining results.
This is the code I am using: [Category number=’9′ method=’excerpt’ order=’desc’ id=’11’ orderby=’date’]
Right now I am revealing 21 excerpts and I would like to break it down to groups of 9.
But when I do this, it only shows 9 with no button to view the rest.

I wanted to add the sharing feature from word press’s jetpack plugin into my site, but when I do it shows them in the category short code excerpt results. I do not want them to show up in there.
How can I have the sharing buttons not show up in the category short code.
Thank you and have a marvelous day!

]]>I noticed right away that this plugin does not use the default wordpress classes for cetegory styles. i.e. my category entries were largely unstyled or at least not styled as I would have expected them to be by default.
secondly, if you’re going to use default classnames that do not match whatever are the normal wordpress defaults for such situations, then an admin page allowing the admin to edit the styles for the classes provided would be in order.
and lastly many of the instances of the class names are unquoted in the generated html (which makes me seriously cringe)!

]]>Hi folks,
I have edited the Category Shortcode plugin category_shortcode.php to add a manual code of Shareaholic’s SexyBookmarks. But it does not seem to work as expected. How do we insert any working social plugin to the code such that the posts pulled out from the category has the plugin code?
At the moment the posts in my index page are manually inserted with SexyBookmarks so the posts which are pulled out from the various category should also have the same SexyBookmarks. Unfortunately it appears only at the top of the page, not at the end of each post.
Here’s the edited code (extract):
$rdscf_output.='<div class=csc_post_content>' . $rdcsc_content . '</div>';
$rdscf_output.= selfserv_shareaholic() . '<div class=csc_break></div>';
$rdscf_output.='<div class=csc_break></div>';
$rdscf_output.='</div>';
endforeach;By the way, if I use the automatic below content menu placement for SexyBookmarks, it inserts twice when I use “Posts, Pages, & Index”. I suppose it happens because the first time is for the page, the 2nd time is for each post.
Thanks in advance!

]]>Hi there,
Does anyone know if it is possible to split the list into chunks so it can be sorted into columns to avoid a very very long list of posts?
e.g
Column 1,
Category posts: 1 – 10
Column 2
Category posts: 11 – 20
Column 3
Category Posts 21 – 30
Any light on the matter would be gratefully received! Best wishes

]]>Hi,
I have this plugin enabled on https://https://linuxbsdos.com. When I click on a category link, I’m taken to the first post in that category.
The changelog says that bug has been fixed in version 1.3, but I’m running version 1.3 and the latest and greatest version of WordPress.
Any clues?
TIA
]]>Hey, I think this is the best plugin – and the best method – for creating pages of posts out there. Nice job.
I modified the plugin a bit to allow the user to optionally select whether post titles are linked to the blog post or not. Just enter “0” for no and “1” for yes. I’m just starting out with php so the hack might be ugly, but I’ve tested it and all my changes are commented in the php file.
