Number of posts per category restricted?

Hi Linsay,

First of all, thank you for using our plugin.
I have to check where the quantity is limited and come back to you when i have more information about that.
I supose it’s not so hard to change this limit.

Thanks again.
Regards, Danny

Wow, that was quick! ??
Thank you so much for considering this change, Dave.

If it’s easy and possible, it will be a great feature.

Cheers,
Linsay

Hi Linsay,
At this moment you can show 50 tiles at once if you use the next code:

grid="50"

For the standard maximum to show grids in one time there is a slider in the settings page: Number of grid to show.
This one can be set from 4 to 20.
Please let me know if you want higher values and/or if the grid=”” is working for you.

Hi Linsay,

if possible, show me the next time the short code you used.
Tomorrow morning i can check or this is oké.

Regards, Danny

Danny, I apologize, I misdiagnosed the problem.

I have a 5 category-grid on my homepage. I thought that if I did not select one of the group button above (#group_wud_button), it would show by default all of the posts, regardless of their category. This is not the case, it’s as if the first tab is active when you land on the page.

So I created a new category named “projects”, and I added it on all of my posts, in order to have all posts displayed at first when you refresh the page, and sort them after some of the category tabs is selected.
Now the restriction is for the number of categories. (It’s not a day for numbers apparently! ?? )
ERROR_05 =>
The maximum group items is five (5) categories or tags.

If there is a way to increase the number of group items, or if there is another solution to display all posts at the beginning, please let me know.
Either way, I appreciate the effort and will continue using your plugin.

Thank you for your time.

My apologies again for the mix-up.

Regards,
Linsay

* Just for history, this was my shortcode to display a random grid of several categories, without pagination.
[gridwud slug=”cat” group=”cat-1, cat-2, cat-3, cat-4, cat-5″ grid=”50″ order=”99″ button=”1″]

Hi Linsay,

No problem at all ??
Thank you to clairify!
I can increase the quantity buttons by the Multi Tab Grid to 10 if that’s oké for you.
The reason why the quantity is 5, is because the buttons becomes too small to show the text.
But i understand your opinion and will increase this number.

Let me know or this is OK.

Regards, Danny

Hi Linsay,

In order to have the same size of buttons, i have made 2 rows of buttons if the quantity is higher then 5.
Sample:

Maximum buttons are 10.
Is this OK for you?

Hi Danny!

I updated your plugin, and it works great.
Thank you so much for the time you devoted on resolving this issue, and for your immediate support.

Just a note.
You will have to set the last child of the category tab button to “float: none;”. Or else, if the overall category items are 1, 2, 6, or 7, the grid will float next to the last tab for desktop versions. I managed to resolve this via css. Just figured to let you know.

Wishing you all the best,

Linsay

Hi Linsay,

Thanks for the info.
Where did you resolved this?
Please share the code ?? so i can add it to our sources.

Thanks again.

Sure, of course.
Nothing fancy, just added the following to my css stylesheet.

#group_wud_button:last-child {
float: none;
}

Since it’s set on the last child, it works no matter how many category tabs you have, so you can set it by default.

+ one more thing I did is hide the first button tab called “All Projects” that shows all items from all categories.
This way, when you refresh the page, you see all projects at first, and just use the other button tabs left to sort the projects out depending on their category.

#group_wud_button:first-of-type {
display: none;
}

In order to see all projects again, you have to refresh the page, or select the relative menu item, since the tab button is not visible to select it. (It was my decision to have it working that way, it might not be everyone’s solution.)

Voilà! ??

Thanks Linsay!

I will add it to our CSS.
For the first button choice to show yes/no i will add an extra short code to hide it.
So you can choose per short code or you want to hide the first button.

Regards,
Danny

Thanks again ??

Awesome, Danny! Thank you for everything once again!

Have a great day.
Cheers!

Linsay

Your welcome ??

This will be included in the next version:
* New short code [hgb=”x”] (hide group button), if 1 it does not show the first group button.
* Blocked access to featured image if plugin ‘category featured images extended’ is used.
* URL for standard image corrected in JQuery.
* Show category on grid, parameter corrected.
* Adjusted last button alignement in group.

Busy to test now this version.

Danny
