Magazine option displaying entire content – how to fix

What I am looking for is coding that will help me achieve this look – https://everydayelementsonline.com/

The thumbnail requires that the image be set as a featured post image. You do that on the post page, lower right hand column.

The text can be controlled by inserting the more tag on the post where you want the text to break. If you are not familiar with the more tag, a search on wordpress more tag will reveal details on how to use it.

Does that correct the problem?

Thanks for your quick response. Yes that did help – thank you. The code that I have implemented above is however conflicting with my slideshow plug in and it seams to be disabling it or removing it from my site. Here is a link to my site – https://www.prettyshinyobject.com/ You can see where my slideshow is missing.

Do you suggest modifying your code in some way so that it does not disable the slideshow, and if so what do you suggest?

Or would you recommend that I find another slideshow plugin to use?

[Moderator Note: Please ensure that you are embedding links correctly in your posts.]

the slide show short code !slideshow_deploy! is non standard. Standard short codes begin are enclosed with []. Try [slideshow_deploy].

If that does not correct the problem, then disable the tpg-get-posts plugin to see if the slideshow is displayed. I have not heard of any conflict with a slideshow before.

What slide show are you using?

Hi,

This is the shortcode (that I have on my page) from the slideshow – [slideshow_deploy id=’73’]

When I add your code it doesn’t seem to change the slideshow code on the back end, but shows it when viewing my site as !slideshow_deploy!

Yes, disabling your code makes the slideshow reappear – which is unfortunate as I really would like to your your plugin.

I am currently using the Slideshow pluging.

Check the options tab on the tpg-get-posts plugin settings. Make sure the extension is current, see message at top of options tab. If the options have been validated then there should be a message stating so and if the extensions have not been downloaded there will be a download/update button next to the save options.

Download the extension from the options settings tab by clicking the download button.

Also, when you check your shortcode, check it with the text view. It is possible that the visual editor changed the square brackets to the html safe code. #xxx! You would only see this in text mode.

I appreciate your time trying to help me figure this out. I have double checked and everything is updated and validated, and yes I am using the text view when adding and checking the code. So it is not an issue with the visual editor changing the code.

I have tested several codes that I have pulled from your website and only one of them does not interfere/disable the slideshow.

[tpg_get_posts mag_layout=”true” numberposts=2 cat=”pretty shiny object” thumbnail_size=”thumbnail” fields=”title,content,metadata”]
– does not work/disables slideshow

[tpg_get_posts]
– does not work/disables slideshow

[tpg_get_posts cat=”Pretty Shiny Object”]
– does not work/disables slideshow

[tpg_get_posts cat=”Pretty Shiny Object” thumbnail_size=”thumbnail” fields=”title, content” shorten_content=”c0″ text_ellipsis=””]
– does not work/disables slideshow

[tpg_get_posts cat=”Pretty Shiny Object” thumbnail_only=”true” thumbnail_size=”thumbnail”]
– this one works and does not disable my slideshow, but according to your website it should have a link to the post that is wrapped around the image – however it does not display any links.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

will you contact me webmaster at tpginc.net. I would like some additional information, but don’t want to post it for all to see.

I sent you an email through your site.

In the slideshow plugin, there is an option called ‘Avoid content filter’, by default this is set to yes. Some plugins (not just mine) call the content filter and this apparently breaks the slideshow code.

To correct, go to the Slideshow settings, select slideshow and change the ‘Avoid content filter’ to no. If you want to change the default setting for any new slideshow go to the General settings for the slideshow plugin and set the default.
