You can format each piece of the by-line. In the styling section, look at the dp_fmt option. dm_fmt=”Fj,Y,Posted on,” should do what you want.

Updated the doc….thanks

if “Business Listings” etc are categories or tags, it will pull just those posts. It will pull custom posts by specifying the post_type option.

Does that help?

Thanks.

To place the posts horizontally, you will need some custom css to float the posts to the left, setting the width, margin, and padding to control the number of posts to fit next to each other.

There is an undocumented feature (and thus unsupported – have not fully tested) to change the div for the post wrapper: the default is post-wrapper=tpg-get-posts-post. Using the field_classes=”post-wrapper=mynew-wrapper” will override the default.

I have not determined a good way to build the horizontal float into the basic plugin and so it is all custom at this time. Hope this gives you some ideas.

the page-next is not a valid parameter, should be page_next. When an invalid parameter is found, the results are indeterminate.

The pagination feature is heavily dependent on the theme. There have been problems with the some theme that have replaced the basic WP pagination. Each of those will need to be handled with customization.

Hi John:

I am available to to assist with this, send me an email webmaster — tpginc.net and we can work this offline.

To review:
enter the email & lic — save the options
refresh the screen
click the validate button
next to the validate button, the download extension button should appear.

At the top of the plugin options you should see a version: either 3.2.0 or ‘current version’. If the version is showing, then the extension has been installed.

Contact me offline and we can get this resolved.

check out the show_excerpt option – I think it will do what you want.

Please post the full short code you are using. If you are using the shorten_content option, the remove it and retest and post the results back here.

Thanks

Formatting the title, byline, content is performed by css. Check with you website developer to set up the css rules to format your posts. Customizing the layout of a site is outside the scope of the plugin support.

At the moment, removing the links from the cat & tags would require altering the base code or writing a routine to strip the <a> tags off the metadata.

I will add the request to my enhancement list and try to add with the next release.

[Moderator Note: Please post markup tags between backticks or use the code button. Post fixed manually.]

Usually the social media icon are displayed by registering code to an after post hook. Then after each post, the code is called and the icons displayed.

To turn this off, you will need some php & WP coding skills. The extension to the base plugin provides a pre and pst shortcut ‘hook’ which will allow the filter for the social media to be unregistered, process the shortcode, then re-register the social media filter.

I don’t know of a simpler way to achieve the results.

Often plugins will utilize after display hooks to show information, such as social media or other meta-data. The tpg_get_post plugin does not alter those hooks, rather it assumes the hooks are being used as preferred. But this is a guess, I am unable to pull up the site–it times out.

It is impossible to provide individual support for the plugin. I am available for contract work at webmaster at tpginc.net

At this time, only the featured image is available as the thumbnail. But this is a good idea for an enhancement. As time permits, I will look into it.

I think you need to control the arrangement with a combination of your css and html. There is nothing within the plugin that manages page layout.

Instead of numberposts=5 use posts_per_page=5. Check the documentation or online for examples.
