It’s odd something in the plugin is causing the output to prematurely close the anchor tags. If you inspect the code you’ll see your code looks like this.

<li>
  <a> </a>
  <h3></h3>
  text
</li>

It should be

<li>
  <a>
    <h3></h3>
    text
  </a>
</li>

The text is still there on the page just not closing properly.

You can use the shortcode attribute posts=” to set it to 50. Though keep in mind the larger the query the more taxing it will be on the server and possibly load time especially if it’s loading images etc.

So something like [post-tiles posts=’50’]

I tried looking at the site but I don’t see it on the page. This was posted about a week ago so I don’t know if it’s still activated. It might be a jQuery conflict. I looked at your current page code and the console is displaying a few other javascript and jQuery related bugs so I don’t know if they’re impacting the plugin.

I haven’t thought about leveraging tags but I can add it to the possible features list to explore integrating.

they aren’t supposed to get changed. It’s probably related to the new text color functionality that was added. I’ll take a look and see what’s going on. Thanks for letting me know!

Awesome thank you. I reviewed the PR and just modified the default text color to white and opacity to 100 since that is the closest to what they already had. But other than that everything looks great and I really appreciate your taking the time to contribute.

Recently I had the idea to add transparency and skins to Post Tiles and as I developed Post Tiles 2.0 it got crazy and turned into a very different plugin – Post Slides (www.postslides.com). I’ll probably go back and rework Post Tiles now that I’ve worked out some of the skin bugs.

These are great ideas.

I think many of these requests could be achieved by adding CSS with !important to override the plugin css. Though doing it through the admin would be far easier especially for those that aren’t familiar with CSS.

Unrelated notice I left a snippet of code that outputs &cat= followed while debugging your issue. I pushed an update 1.4.5 so update to that and it will remove the “&cat=26,32,33,38” which appears above.

As for the images appearing as posts it’s really odd. It’s not happening on my machine which makes me wonder if there is another plugin causing a conflict. When I inspect the rouge featured image posts on your site they have a rel=”lightbox[404]”. I’m wondering if some plugin you have in play creates additional posts for the featured image.

Maybe you have a gallery plugin which is generating separate posts when you add a featured image? It might be the WP Lightbox 2 plugin. If you can temporarily deactivate that plugin and see if it fixes the issue.

I rolled out a change this morning to fixed errors when the plugin is first installed and not configured. I missed a snippet of code. Try updating to 1.4.4. That should fix it.

I installed the plugin and looked around. I think the only options are..

A. The plugin does have the option exclude some of the js from being deferred. Moving one or two of the javascript files. I’m not sure what combination will get it to work.

B. You could also move the javascript that get’s inlined into the page into a js file and of your own. The reason it gets inlined is because the plugin dynamically sets some of the values. But if you know what those values are once it’s outputs you could move it until after jQuery and Owl.js are loaded.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

I looked at your homepage and when I look in the code I don’t see any reference to [post-slides] is the plugin turned on and is the shortcode on the page right now? It might be better to create a fake page like jahliveradio com/post-slides and put it on there so I can take a look and you can leave it up for a bit without it breaking your homepage.

John, I also looked at jahliveradio dot com but I don’t see where you’re trying to display the page. Can you install the plugin and put it on a page then share the page again?

I’m thinking it might be either a jQuery issue or possible the template’s CSS is overriding the plugin css.

I may need to set some more css properties in the plugin to avoid theme conflicts.

The plugin is the same as what’s in production except I have some overriding css on the single view.
