Hi,

Thanks for this. I figured it out with your help!

The reason I wasn’t getting a number was because each instance was sitting inside another widget that was generating a number (Responsive column widgets). I fixed it like so:

.responsive_column_widgets_3 .pis-excerpt { border-bottom: none;}

Thanks Aldolat, You are a star.

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion. My problem seemed similar to the original poster which is why I followed this thread.

I am using this plug in more than once. I set one instance to have a border bottom. I cannot stop the second instance from also having the same border bottom, despite adding {border-bottom: none} to the second instance of this widget.

I guess I am struggling to find the two different selectors.

Hi,

Just to add to this. I’m having a hard time finding the assigned number for each version of the widget I am using. I am using Chrome and inspect element, but both versions seem to be displaying as ‘posts-in-sidebar’ with no additional number. I guess I’m looking in the wrong place. Any pointers or advice greatly received!

Just to elaborate,I added:

.pis-excerpt { border-bottom: 3px solid #7af4a3; padding-bottom: 10%; }

To one version and I am trying to stop that border bottom from appearing in another version.

Thanks Peter,

I removed that plugin but I am still having trouble with this site. I suspect there may be some deeper problems unfortunately.

Ah, OK I figured it out.

I don’t know if it will help anyone else by pointing out where I was going wrong. It is is worth a try.

I made 2 errors.

Firstly I had the shortcode in the wrong order I was placing the post number after the categories i.e I was writing [post-tiles categories=’13’ posts=’50’] when I should have been writing [post-tiles posts=’50’ categories=’13’]

Secondly, wordpress was inserting weird tags into my shortcode. make sure your shortcode is entered into the text editing area rather than the visual editing area when editing your page, also make sure you have a space between categories and posts i.e. do this [post-tiles categories=’13’ posts=’50’] not this [post-tiles categories=’13’posts=’50’]

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I just started building a new site and I am running into a similar issue. Tiles work like a dream on our https://basic.fm site but on this new site pagination kicks in at 4 tiles regardless of settings. It’s here https://dominicsmith.info it uses the Hatch theme. I have checked for plug in conflicts etc.

I appreciate this is a needle in a haystck, but I thought it might be useful to join in and see if a pattern starts emerging. Let me know if you want a log in to have a look into it.

Oh God, they had scheduled the posts to go public at a later date. That is why they weren’t showing. I am an idiot. I’ll leave this all up here in case anyone else makes a schoolboy error like this.

Wait, I have gotten closer to the problem, the posts I was having a problem with were not created by me but by a different user. If I make a post in the category it works.

I have admin, they have editor rights. I upped them to admin in case that was the problem but nope, still not working.

Thanks,

Yup I removed the strong tags and it worked. I don’t know why they were there!

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Ethan,

Yup works with the basic [post-tiles], I have tried it with a variable amount of tiles, although 82 is the amount of pots in the archive so if server load is too high I may have to find another way of doing it. Plus 174 is indeed my category number, not sue why it is so high, I dont have that many categories.

I tweaked the amount of posts set to display to 22 and set post-tile to 22 but still no luck.

I’ll look in to the archive page issue, I just thought I had set up a normal page and was using post tiles to display a specific category.

Thanks for looking into this, very much appreciated.

Thanks Ethan,

That worked straight away. Very much appreciated. (sorry for earlier grumpy comment, I didn’t realise you don’t get notifications).

Best

BFM.

So, umm, 4 months and no answer?

Yep, it works for Chrome but not firefox for me.

Oh BTW if you visit the site you will see that I am not using post tiles at the moment as its a working site and I didn’t want this problem to be visible. Let me know if you want me to set it up so you can see the problem.
