If you don’t mind that would be great. I’ll try to look at it over the next couple of days.

do you mind sharing what you did in case others are looking for a similar solution?

For the posts=” are you putting multiple numbers in the posts=” block? The posts=” part of the shortcode is for the total count of posts not a list of the posts. I’ve seen people do a few times.

Would you feel comfortable temporarily setting me up in the wordpress so I could look at it? so I can look at the short code and test a few things? If so my email is [email protected].

If you try a different thumbnail size like 50×50 does it resize them?

Thanks Jummy. I’m glad everything worked out.

Do you have a demo url I could look at?

It looks like when you copied the shortcode you also copied the bold styling. Switch the HTML view and remove the strong or bold tag around the shortcode that should fix the issue you’re experiencing.

Do you have a link to a demo page I could look at?

Not at the moment. It only pulls by most recent.

The images in the short code are probably breaking it. The images for thumbnails go into the post not into the shortcode. Go to the post and while you’re editing it or creating it add a featured image.

Here is the WordPress documentation for adding featured images to posts – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Post_Thumbnails

Your short code should look like this. [post-tiles posts=’16’ excerpt=’16’]

Jimmyhansen could you post an example of your shortcode that you’re embedding on the page? I tried turning pagination off by using the choosing neither but I still see 8 tiles.

I’m looking at your page and something odd is also effecting the pagination. If you look at the HTML on the page you’ll see a BR tag after each anchor. I’m not sure where those are coming from. The Post-Tiles plugin shouldn’t generate them so I’m wondering if there is another plugin or theme function.php file are effecting them.

Try turning off all your plugins and see if it goes away. Then turn them back on one by one to see when they break. If that doesn’t work try switching to the default wordpress theme for a second to see if that resolves it.

Try that and let me know what you discover.

In later versions I’ve been meaning to update the plugin settings page to allow users to disable the call for query.

Yes. there are usually two reasons for only displaying 4 tiles. Usually it’s either you only have 4 tiles that match the categories used by post tiles or in the short code you can control how many posts are being displayed by adding or changing the posts= to posts=”6″ or posts=”9″ etc.

Ryan thanks for posting in the code. I’ll explore adding this into the short code. Did it work with both post types at the same time?
