Great, thank you very much for your support!

I actually found the shortcode to put the related posts in my template using rp4wp_children();
But I still have the related posts at the end of my posts: https://ibb.co/68VZqG2

Could you help me remove it?
Thank you for the support
Florian

By the way, I was using another Related Posts plug-in before, which appears in my code. I stopped using it as it causes conflicts with the fact I have multiple languages.

I would like to basically put your plug-in at this place in my template, if that is possible.

As it goes to wp-include, i don’t think you can include it to a theme or whatever.
My take on this at the moment is just to keep it in mind each time I have a wp update, which of course is not the best :/

Hi,

I solved my problem using the following piece of code:

foreach ( $recent_posts as $post ) {
		$post_id = $post['ID'];

		$title = get_the_title( $post_id );
		if ( ! $title ) {
			$title = __( '(Untitled)' );
		}
		
		$post_url = get_permalink( $post_id );
		
		$text = get_post( $post_id );
		$text = $text->post_content;
		$text = wp_trim_words( $text, 25, '... <a href="'.$post_url.'">read&nbsp;more</a>' );
		$excerpt = $text;
				
		$list_items_markup .= sprintf(
			'<li>
			<a href="%2$s">%1$s%3$s</a><p>%4$s</p>',
			get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id ),
			esc_url( get_permalink( $post_id ) ),
			esc_html( $title ), 
			$excerpt
		);

It shows the target post 25 first words and I put a link on the read more to access said post. It might not be the best way to do this but it works, which makes it the best way for me ??

Hope it might help if someone has the same issue.
Have a nice day,
Florian

By the way, I tried adding manualy an excerpt to my post with <!–more–> just to be sure it was not a conflict caused by the lack of excerpt in my post, but it doesn’t change anything to my Latest Posts block.

Hi,

Removing get_ from get_the_excerpt doesn’t change anything for me, it still displays the current page excerpt instead of the $post_id one.

I think it comes from the fact it doesn’t get $post_id as a valid argument, and the default value get_the_excerpt() and the_excerpt() are the global post (the current page/post).
My knowledges in PhP are not so good, which makes it hard for me to identify clearly the problem.

Hi,
I found the file to edit:
In wordpress folder, wp-includes/blocks/latest-posts.php

I had success putting the post thumbnail but when I try to have the post excerpt, it shows the current page excerpt instead of the post’s.

I edited only a small part of the code (line 39):

		$list_items_markup .= sprintf(
			'<li>
			<a href="%2$s">%1$s%3$s</a><p>%4$s</p>',
			get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id ),
			esc_url( get_permalink( $post_id ) ),
			esc_html( $title ), 
			get_the_excerpt( $post_id )
		);

Here is the complete code (edited by me):

<?php
/**
 * Server-side rendering of the <code>core/latest-posts</code> block.
 *
 * @package WordPress

/**

	$args = array(

		'orderby'     => $attributes['orderBy'],
	);

	if ( isset( $attributes['categories'] ) ) {
		$args['category'] = $attributes['categories'];
	}

	$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

	$list_items_markup = '';

	foreach ( $recent_posts as $post ) {

	}

	}

	if ( isset( $attributes['displayPostDate'] ) && $attributes['displayPostDate'] ) {
		$class .= ' has-dates';
	}

	if ( isset( $attributes['className'] ) ) {
		$class .= ' ' . $attributes['className'];
	}

	$block_content = sprintf(
		'<ul class="%1$s">%2$s</ul>',
		esc_attr( $class ),
		$list_items_markup
	);

	return $block_content;
}

/**

add_action( 'init', 'register_block_core_latest_posts' );

As I said, thumbnail is working well, so I don’t really get why the excerpt doesn’t.
Much appreciation to any help,
Florian

Actually I solved it at the moment.

It seems that Hestia-pro template files do not define if they are available for post or not, so they are not considered for posts, which deactivated Post Attributes while editing.

It looks like putting
/* Template Post Type: post*/
fixed the issue.

Sorry for the bother.

Hi,

overall this is working: [ redundant link removed ]
I have my Testimony widget that can display posts from the ‘testimony’ category.
I did not use Elementor to build the page, as I had already worked on it with SiteOrigin, and if I can I’d like to avoid redoing it. I added the “post grid” widget through SiteOrigin builder, which makes it work despite maybe having less customization options through the interface.

I just need one last edit on it and it’ll work fine for me, and maybe you can help me with it:
I currently have a link to my post only available on the h3 title. I would like to have one on the picture as well, to improve a little my users experience. I tried to edit the posts-grid.php file, located in \themeisle-companion\vendor\codeinwp\elementor-extra-widgets\widgets\elementor

I think I need to edit the following, but I might be doing it wrong as it does nothing for me:

	protected function renderImage() {
		$settings = $this->get_settings();

		// Only in editor.
		if ( $settings['grid_image_hide'] !== 'yes' ) {
			// Check if post type has featured image.
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {

				if ( $settings['grid_image_link'] == 'yes' ) {
					?>
					<div class="obfx-grid-col-image">
						<a*>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
							<?php
							the_post_thumbnail(
								'full', array(
									'class' => 'img-responsive',
									'alt'   => get_the_title( get_post_thumbnail_id() ),
								)
							); ?>
						</a>
					</div>
				<?php } else { ?>
					<div class="obfx-grid-col-image">
						<?php
						the_post_thumbnail(
							'full', array(
								'class' => 'img-responsive',
								'alt'   => get_the_title( get_post_thumbnail_id() ),
							)
						); ?>
					</div>
					<?php
				}
			}
		}
	}</blockquote>
I changed it to have the following: 
<blockquote>	protected function renderImage() {
		$settings = $this->get_settings();

		// Only in editor.
		if ( $settings['grid_image_hide'] !== 'yes' ) {
			// Check if post type has featured image.
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {

				if ( $settings['grid_image_link'] == 'yes' ) {
					?>
					<div class="obfx-grid-col-image">
						<a*>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
							<?php
							the_post_thumbnail(
								'full', array(
									'class' => 'img-responsive',
									'alt'   => get_the_title( get_post_thumbnail_id() ),
								)
							); ?>
						</a>
					</div>
				<?php } else { ?>
					<div class="obfx-grid-col-image">
						<a*>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
						<?php
						the_post_thumbnail(
							'full', array(
								'class' => 'img-responsive',
								'alt'   => get_the_title( get_post_thumbnail_id() ),
							)
						); ?>
						</a>
					</div>
					<?php
				}
			}
		}
	}

(I added * in my <a*> so they’ll display in the forum)
Basically, I want to force it to have a link on the picture in any case, but it’s not doing the trick. Do you have any indication on how I could fix it?

Thanks
Florian

Just so people know, in case you have the same problem as I did, I resolved it by changing the post width and thumbnail dimensions, following this documentation:
https://docs.themeisle.com/article/853-how-to-make-hestia-blog-images-full-width
https://docs.themeisle.com/article/852-how-to-change-blog-image-size-in-hestia

Cheers

Hi @rodicaelena!
I have downloaded again the Hestia folder and put back the clean functions.php file, and it’s working like a charm, thanks!
I am not so used to work with wordpress so I changed Hestia’s file directly previous my child-theme creation, and did not expect updates to mess it up. Guess it’s the way to learn ??

Have a nice day & weekend
Florian

Basically, what I want to do is change the display so it goes from the current:

PICTURE TEXT
TEXT PICTURE
PICTURE TEXT
TEXT PICTURE

each post goes in a line-block composed of its featured picture and text (title, excerpt, …). What I want is this:

PICTURE
TEXT
PICTURE
TEXT

Each post is displayed with the featured picture full-width and texts below.
Let me know if you guys need more info!

Florian

Hi Rodica,

I think I used this method though I can’t guarantee it.
Here you can find my child-theme function.php file (in txt for the upload):
function.php file https://de.scribd.com/document/389594761/Function-php

I also edited Hestia’s functions.php file, so I’ll join it as well:
https://de.scribd.com/document/389594901/Functions-php

There is no mention of hestia_debug in both those files though.
Let me know if you need more information!

Florian

Hi,

Yes I do: https://imgur.com/a/riyW2Ao
Should I remove it? Last time i tried it changed the whole page design quite a lot, which would imply a lot of css adjustments.
