My excerpts have a left-aligned image that the text wraps around. In my blog, I have hspace="5" but the latest posts widget seems to strip that out, so the images are right next to the text. I’ve tried manually adding hspace="5" to the LPS text in the footer but it made no difference. Is there a way to get a bit of space added here?

I’ve tried the shortcode both within the post text and in the footer, and there is just way too much vertical space between the posts, and even between the title and the first post. I’ve gone over and over the settings but can’t figure out how to reduce this gap. I’ve tried the default height and, currently, 1ps height, but it’s the same thing. Help?

[latest-selected-content ver="2" limit="4" display="title,excerpt" titletag="h4" url="yes" elements="26" default_height="1px" tablet_height="1px" mobile_height="1px" type="post" status="publish" orderby="dateD"]

Hello, since last week the links in the images do not work. It happens to me on all the web pages that I have to use your plugins.
Thank you.

I have been tasked with developing a timer for the slider (days, not seconds!). How would you approach this?

Currently, I am thinking of the following approaches:
1. hack (86400 seconds)
2. javascript integration (any experiences with this?)
3. modifying the plugin (how much php can I learn in a month?)

When trying to create a slider, I get the:

Error loading block: The response is not a valid JSON response.

I kinda narrowed it down to filtering – when trying to select a Category, or a Tag, it breaks ??

Hi,

Thanks again for this superb plugin.

Under extra options, I have chosen to show a custom taxonomy for each listed item. This works fine, except that the name of the custom taxonomy is clickable. Because of the way I have configured WordPress this points to a nonexistant page.

Is it possible to configure this option so that the custom taxonomy isn’t a hyperlink, please?

Thanks,

Philip

Hi there,

Thanks for the great plugin.

I’m having a small issue when I first log into the website there is a gap between the panels vertically. So there is 4 panels in total (2 horizontally and then another 2 panels on the next line below). When first log onto the website there is a big gap between the top two panels and bottom 2 panels.

I’m using pagination. When i click onto the next page using this pagination there is no gap. Then when i go back to the home page by clicking page 1 on the pagination menu below the gap is gone and it looks better. Edit: Just to note, I cleared cache on browser and still got same also.

Do you know how i could fix this issue by chance?

thank you
Sean

Code I’m using:

[latest-selected-content ver=”2″ perpage=”4″ showpages=”5″ pagespos=”1″ display=”title,excerpt-small” titletag=”b” chrlimit=”52″ url=”yes” linktext=”Read more” image=”large” elements=”25″ color_text=”#FF3366″ image_opacity=”0.25″ css=”two-columns as-overlay has-shadow has-title-nodecoration hover-zoom hover-highlight content-center light” type=”post” orderby=”dateD” show_extra=”ajax_pagination,light_spinner,tags,taxpos_tags_after-title”]

Hi!

The Icon for in the classic editor, to insert a code, is visible for all users, even contributors, I think it should be only visible to admins, Is there anyway to hide the button?, Don’t want guestusers to use the code,,

This plugin is fantastic. It works great on posts when I call it, but I’m trying to use it within a php script, so when we create pages for customers, a form can autopopulate the tag that feeds this.

It pulls the content properly, but the styling gets stripped out when i call via php. Is there a workaround I could do? Here is the code:

<?php $value = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'insighttag', true);
echo do_shortcode('[latest-selected-content ver="2" limit="24" perpage="3" showpages="more" loadtext="Load More" pagespos="1" display="title" titletag="h4" url="yes" image="full" elements="25" size_title="20px" image_ratio="16/9" css="three-columns has-shadow hover-highlight content-center" type="post" status="publish" tag="'. $value . '" orderby="dateD" show_extra="light_spinner"]');
	
	?>

I’ve got a strange issue.

I’ve added the code in elementor, and it works fine, and looks fine:

But when I’m looking on the live site, the “posts” are below each other…

And I’m using the code:

[latest-selected-content ver="2" limit="3" display="date,title,content-small" titletag="h3" url="yes" linktext="L?s mer ?" image="thumbnail" elements="26" css="three-columns h-image-info has-shadow has-radius content-space-between has-img-spacing" type="post" status="publish" dauthor="yes" orderby="random"]

The plugin has a function to display “read more” button at the bottom of the posts. But the ‘Read More’ which is supposed to be a button, does not work as a button, it works like a simple text instead. Is there any way to make it work as a button and go to respective post when clicked ?

Hi! Really grateful for this plugin!

I am needing help with a couple of things. I want to display three posts in a row, with the image on top and the Title right below that and the date right below that. I am using this shortcode and it does it almost perfectly, except the posts are listed in a column on top of each other instead of in a row and I would like to decrease the gap between the image and title. Any advice would be much appreciated!

[latest-selected-content ver=”2″ limit=”3″ display=”title,date” titletag=”h4″ url=”yes” image=”medium” elements=”26″ default_height=”0rem” css=”three-columns as-column has-shadow has-radius align-center content-space-between” status=”publish” orderby=”dateD”]

This plugin is really versatile and easy to configure. But I am starting to use it on a client’s website and am struggling to change the aspect ratio of the images. I need to display posts with their featured image shown as a rectangle, in landscape. However I cannot work out how to change the images from being square.

Do I need to define new image sizes in WordPress (then regenerate all the thumbnails) or is there some setting in the configuration which I can use to change the shape of the tiles/images?

Thanks for your help!

Hi!

It seems like your plugin is what I’m looking for, but, I would like to show the post of the “current” author, so I can use it on the “post” page, and display all the other posts of the same user.

There is an option where I can enter a author ID, but can’t find any option for “current author”

I have:
WordPress version 6.2.2
Active theme: Twenty Twenty-Three (version 1.1)
Current plugin: Latest Post Shortcode (version 11.4.0)
PHP version 7.4.33

When I go to edit a page that contains the shortcode, which I couldn’t configure because the button appears nowhere, I get a critical error WSOD.

I had entered the bare shortcode, found no button, exited the page to see what I could find out, and when I attempted to edit the page again, the error appeared instead. I can easily reproduced this.

I am doing this on a test page that has no links to it, so it’s not disabling my site. The plugin is, of course, disabled.

I am using the plugin to generate a list of refurbished bikes which are available to people in our community who are on low incomes. I want to make it easy for people to see which bikes are the right size for them. I have some custom fields linked which hold that information. So in the Post Appearance, rather than selecting Title, I would like to display ‘Bike Number’, ‘Make and Model’ and ‘Frame Size’.

I guess it is beyond the scope of the plugin to be able to pick custom fields visually, but I wondered if it is possible to write something in the short-code to display custom fields? Or if not, are there any hooks within the plugin which I could use to write a filter for my own output?

Thanks again for such a flexible and useful plugin.

Love the plugin; really flexible and great to use, thanks. On occasions there will not be any matching posts to display. Rather than leaving an empty space I would like to display a message which tells people that there is nothing available now, but to come back later. I cannot see a configuration option to display a message like that, but maybe I am missing something. Is this possible, please?

Hi, is there a way to display recent posts from another wordpress website on my site with this plugin?

I know that wordpress itself has a simple RSS widget but it is very limited, i’m looking for a plugin which can display recent posts from another wordpress website with images like this plugin

Hello,

Recently I noticed that the pagination for isn’t working, whenever I try clicking a page with AJAX the loading spinner animation plays indefinitely and the normal pagination just loads a page with the same results.

Here’s the current shortcode I’m using:

[latest-selected-content ver="2" perpage="36" offset="6" showpages="10" pagespos="1" display="title,date,content-small" titletag="h3" chrlimit="123" url="yes" linktext="READ MORE" image="medium" elements="26" css="three-columns as-column has-shadow has-radius hover-zoom content-start" type="post" status="publish" orderby="dateD" show_extra="nosticky,ajax_pagination,dark_spinner,pagination_all,cache"]

Thanks

PROBLEM:

This plugin queries all child posts under parent taxonomy with no way to limit or exclude child posts/categories.

PROPOSAL:

latest-post-shortcode.php

Line 2830 & 2848, Please add to tax_query…an option to pass flag

‘include_children’ => false or true

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to display a list of posts with the tag “warehouse-management-system”, but one post doesn’t show up. When I go to Posts->Tag I saw 4 posts in this tag term, but the shortcode shows only three posts.

This is my shortcode:

[latest-selected-content ver="2" display="title" titletag="h3" elements="0" type="post" taxonomy="category" term="news" tag="editoriale" orderby="dateD"]

Please help me to undrstand.

As you can see under the section Explore our Topics, the preview of the posts sometimes end with &#8320 or variations of.

Do you know what is causing this html character code to show?

Hi. I have upgraded the plugin to 11.1.0 but I can��t find the new styles helper? When I press LPS-button in Gutenberg editor, the ordinary helper appears but without a styles helper section. Any tips?

Since 48 hours ago, this plugin has caused my site to be inaccessible when people try using www. If going to the site without www, they can access no problem.

I have had to deactivate the plugin to get the site stable again. Any info on how to deal with the issue?

I’ve been very pleased with the ease and customization of this plugin. I am still in the draft phase of building a blog page. When I first added the shortcode, I configured it to link to the full post from the “read more” link. After a few days, the text and link disappeared. I have tried replacing the code several times. Currently, the code I am using is:

[latest-selected-content perpage=”6″ showpages=”4″ display=”title,content-small” titletag=”h3″ chrlimit=”200″ url=”yes” linktext=”continue reading” image=”thumbnail” image_placeholder=”jca-logo” elements=”28″ css=”two-columns” type=”post” status=”publish” taxonomy=”category” term=”blog” orderby=”dateD” show_extra=”ajax_pagination,pagination_all”]

I’m liking the slider a lot for its relatively low-use of server resources. Is there some way to change the hyperlink text color in the slides? Right now it’s using the native WordPress theme options, which is a difficult color to read on top of an image.

Hi, i am using LPS on a website i made for a client and i have encountered a peculiar problem.

When i am logged in the admin everything displays nice. Immediatly after i log out the content that should be listed trought LPS dissapears. Below the sequences.

Have any of you had this problem? Can you help.

The version of the plugin is 9.6.5

<div class="main-post">[latest-selected-content limit="1" display="title,date,content-small" chrlimit="900" url="yes" linktext="Citeste articolul" elements="17" taxonomy="category" orderby="dateD" css="main-art"]</div>
<div class="cleaner"></div>
<div class="latest4">[latest-selected-content limit="5" display="title,date,content-small" chrlimit="75" elements="17" orderby="dateD" url="yes" linktext="Citeste articolul" css="main-four" show_extra="exclude_previous_content" ]</div>

Hello, I opened the error_log file and found these errors that related to the plugin:

[11-Apr-2021 02:45:21 UTC] PHP Warning:  array_merge(): Expected parameter 1 to be an array, null given in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/latest-post-shortcode/latest-post-shortcode.php on line 2128

there is a long list of this same exact error but with different dates, the last one is today, any idea what causes this?

Thank you.

I don’t see an option for showing a specific category only?
