Hi @bruceallen,

Thanks so much. The error is not showing anymore. Is there anything I could or should have done here to avoid the error?

Hi @rre,

I’m still not quite sure I understand.

1. Are the applications posts actual WordPress pages, posts with a category, or are they a custom post type for applications?
2. Are you using WooCommerce for Products? If not, are these pages, posts, or another custom post type?

Maybe an illustration or example would help?

Hi @rre,

is there any chance you are releasing anew version of “posts in page” with the function exclude_tag like you have exclude_category?

We hadn’t planned on it but I can see how this would be useful. We’ll take a look at it but it may take a few weeks as we’re really busy with client work.

Instead of adding multiple application tags to the individual product pages, would it be possible to use the exclude-tag shortcode if at all it may be available in the future?

If I understand correctly, you are looking to list one or more application categories/tags within an individual product – is that right?

Are the applications pages actual WordPress pages or are they a custom post type for applications? Or a post with a category?

Since we don’t currently have the exclude_tag parameter, I’d look for another way in the short term.

Or would you be able to use the tags from a post given the title?

I’m not sure what you mean here. Can you explain?

Also, on your home page in the WP Admin, do you see if it’s using a custom Page Template (look in right hand column, if on desktop).

Howdy @echoitteam – what are your settings in the WordPress Admin under Settings > Reading for Your homepage displays?

Hey @rre – Let me know if you get stuck creating the right shortcode in Posts in Page.

adding application tags in the product pages and product tags for the application pages

How, exactly, are you doing this?

Have you got Posts in Page doing what you want? My guess, based on your description is that you’ll end up using something like:

[ic_add_posts post_type='product' tax='product_cat' term='your_product_category_name']

Depending on how you’re doing application tags, it might be something similar, just with different values for type, tax and term.

I hope that helps!

Hi Gents – the plugin is reactivated. ??

Have a great weekend!

Hi @correiar and @davidrahrer – The deactivation was due to a notification email address for IvyCat at www.ads-software.com bouncing. I’ve fixed the issue and requested they re-activate the plugins. I imagine this will happen soon.

Thanks!

Howdy @bjoerne,

We’ve just created a patch for this issue and will be testing it out and releasing soon.

Our implementation will work as it should, but won’t break backward-compatibility in cases where a user is echoing or printing to the filters, rather than just returning a value.

Thanks again for your ping and I’ll update you when this is released.

Hello again @betyonfire,

If you embed a shortcode in a template using the method you described, you shouldn’t get any code echoed in the html that would show on the front end of the page.

To test, I created a custom page template containing the following code:

	<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
		<?php echo do_shortcode("[ic_add_posts category='updates'] "); ?>
	
	</main><!-- .site-main --> 

When I apply that template to a page and view the output in the browser, I see:

1. Nothing on the front end
2. Viewing the source, you’ll see:

	<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
		<div class="post hentry ivycat-post"><span class="pip-not-found"></span></div> 	
	</main><!-- .site-main -->

So, if you’re seeing code output on in the browser that is visible to site users, there could be something wrong in the template.

If that’s the case, could you post the code used in your custom template?

Thanks!

Hi @betyonfire,

Thanks for the question. We’re looking into this and will get back to you shortly.

In short, you shouldn’t have code showing on the page ever, unless you create custom templates that purposefully show code.

Howdy @bjoerne,

Thanks so much for reporting this. You’re exactly right.

We’re discussing the best options for fixing and plan to release an update very soon.

Cheers!

Hi @circohannover,

Thanks for the question. Is the plugin working at all? Is it pulling some posts, but not all of them?

A few suggestions to get started:

1. Check what your current posts per page setting is under Settings > Reading. Posts in Page will obey the Blog pages show at most setting, unless otherwise instructed
2. Add the showposts argument to your shortcode to specify a specific number of posts.

If the plugin isn’t working at all for you, I’d troubleshoot for a plugin conflict by disabling all plugins and re-enabling them individually until the problem presents itself.

Let us know how it goes.

Howdy @the-bean,

Is it possible to have 2 columns on a page with posts?

Yes, you could accomplish columns using CSS columns.

I hope that helps!

Hi @mukor,

That is something we have done for client sites using JavaScript. Unfortunately, it’s not a feature of the current plugin. Feel free to submit an issue on the Posts in Page GitHub repo, if you’d like to make a feature request.

Thanks!
