Hi,
I tried it on my site and it works fine (even using the same name).

Is it still a problem? Which version of LCP are you using, and also what other plugins?

Hi,

which version of LCP are you using?

As far as I can tell, LCP uses this code to get the excerpt when there is one:
$lcp_excerpt = $this->lcp_trim_excerpt($single->post_excerpt);`

The fact that you got the title in your first example, it looks as though the posts have neither content nor excerpt as LCP outputs the title in that case. What do you see if you use this – [catlist name=newscare-blog content=yes]

Hi,

you’ve got id=Archives

Did you mean name=Archives?

Hope this helps.

hi GraceFace

You seem to be putting the date into a heading (h3) which I guess is formatted to be on a line by itself.

What happens if you remove that (date_tag=h3)?

In any case, if you look at the HTML that is output, you can see where the divs, h3s, spans etc occur then you can use CSS to get it formatted as you like.

Hope this helps.

Hi Matrixter,
I think this is the same as the bug I’ve reported to the forum, see
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bug-in-settingslist-category-posts-v051?replies=1

That is, assuming you are using a fairly recent version of List Category Posts (files have been renames in this and an incorrect edit was made to a filename that’s embedded in the code).

The only fix I know of at the moment is to make the correction as shown in the link above.

Hopefully the author will put it right in the next release!

Hope this helps.

Hi, as far as I can see there is no way of doing this at the moment.

You could define extra parameters (e.g. xxxx_tag) for the shortcode I guess and then put them round each customfield value.

However, I do it the way I do it because I want to create the class dynamically depending on each field’s name so it has to be done at run time.

Hi, have you tried it without specifying a custom template, just to see if the customfield is displayed in that case?

Hi,
I hacked include/lcp-catlist.php (or CatList.php depending on which version you are using) to put in a span around each customfield. Of course you could add whatever HTML you like.

In lcp-catlist look for where it adds the field to the output string:

if ($this->params[‘customfield_display_name’] != “no”)
$lcp_customs .= $user_customfield . ” : “;
$lcp_customs .= $value;

and just concatenate whatever HTML strings you want before and after $value in that third line.

Not pretty to have to alter the plugin code but it works.
If there’s a more standard way to do it I’d be pleased to hear.

You need to add some other locations by selecting from the drop down boxes.

for example:
Show this field group if>Post Type>is equal to > Post AND
Logged in user type >is equal to > Administrator
OR
Show this field group if>Post Type>is equal to > Post AND
Logged in user type >is equal to > Author

and so on depending on which type you want to see which field group.

For anyone else who ends up here and has Relevanssi, the ACF relationship searching problem I had has just been solved. See:

Yes,works brilliantly. Many thanks.

…sorry, I should have added, and it’s OK with ACF version 4.x for me (the problem arises for me with ACF v5)

Hi, the relationship field search is working for me on WP 4.0 UNLESS I have Relevanssi searching on the backend enabled.

What other plugins do you have running?

setarcos: this sort of request (post_type, name, numberposts) works fine for me and we use it all the time (also with tag).

Are you absolutely sure everything is spelled correctly and that there are posts of that type in that category that are *published*?
