Each post is wrapped with a div class=”tpg-get-posts-post”. You can format the css to control spacing.

If you updated the base plugin recently, check to make sure the extension has been updated. The extension must be manually updated after the base plugin is updated. Selecting multiple post types is not supported yet, so you must continue to issue two different requests, one for posts and one for pages.

If you are comfortable with css and html, you can format the posts as you need. You can look at the examples at https://www.tpginc.net/blog/wordpress-plugins/plugin-tpg_get_posts/ – check out the various layouts available under the menu Workpress Plugins -> plugin: tpg_get_posts.

The numberposts options will pull all the posts at once, in your example 100. This will result in a delay before the page is displayed. Using pagination is a better option.

I have resolved the pagination issue and am in the final testing. I should be pushing an update out in a couple of days. The issue was the offset value was being set to 0 and breaking the pagination. Not sure why that caused a problem with a WP upgrade.

Please note that using the offset option with pagination will cause things to break. So at this time the plugin does not support both.

I have 3 reported problems with pagination today that seem related to the WP 4.4.2 upgrade. I could be an earlier release changed the wp_query feature. I will be researching the upgrades this week to see what might be causing the issue.

I will post back here what I find.

You have a <pre> tag around the short code. This is usually caused by copying the code from a sample instead of entering it.

Delete the code and type it in.

Hi tashmina:

Actually I did see and respond to your email of 1/2. I sent an patch with the instructions to install at that time. Sorry we are no connecting.

Check your emails and I will resend the email from 1/2. If you have any questions, please use the direct email you used on the initial email. I would rather not post all the details in this forum.

At this time, the edit-post link is not supported.

What you can do is click on the title or read-more link which should show the post in a single page view which will show the edit post link.

Setting the size of thumbnails is theme specific. You should contact the theme developer if you need to modify the theme behavior. The tpg-get-posts plugin uses the thumbnails size as set by the theme.

You might be able to set the css to resize the thumbnail, but I am unable to provide theme/plugin styling support.

The show_entire=”false” is the default setting and does not need to be passed. That said you should get the same results with or without the parameter. I will run a test as make sure the plugin behaves that way. If passing the false value returns a blank page, then it is a bug in the code.

If without the option, if you get a blank page, then there is another problem with you setup.

Post your entire shortcode if you are still having problems.

Hi Christa:

I ran a simple test on my site and the offset worked for 1 & 2. I had 3 posts in the category. Offsets of 1 & 2 worked and 3 returned a blank.

offset=1 returns post 2 & 3
offset=2 returns post 3

Make sure your selection criteria returns > n posts, where n is the offset value. If you enter offset=3 and return 3 posts, then a blank post is displayed, because you are telling wp to display the 4th post which does not exist in the answer set for the wp_query.

Does that make sense?

I needed to do a little research on the post_type see the format is if there are multiple items, ie page,post then the parameters must be passed as an array. I do not believe the plugin coverts the comma separated values to an array. Making the value invalid.

If an invalid value is passed into WP_Query, the default is to return 10 posts, which I believe is the behavior you are seeing in the ‘working’ queries.

I will look into this further and sounds like a good feature to add.

Post back if the results are consistent if you just say page or post.

Glad you found a solution and THANK YOU for post the solution. It will help others.

The mag_layout does pull the featured image and display the thumbnail beside the post. If you set the thumbnail_size=”none” then only the formatting of the theme is applied to the content. It could be a filter set by the theme.

I looked at the full post from the example and it has the featured image inserted next to the post content.

So….can you get by with thumbnail_size=”none”. That will just let your theme generate the thumbnail and the plugin will just pull the post to the page.
