David, you have absolutely nailed it once again!

I had used the custom fields plugin to create the publication date field and I just had to alter the save format to yymmdd and the display format to yy:mm.

Thank you so much

…To clarify, my documents (publication dates) are showing in this order:

September 2014
October 2013
October 2012
October 2012
November 2004
June 2012
June 2007
July 2012…

The first four are actually correct but that’s just a fluke

Thanks David. You’ve cracked it. A developer had initially configured the setup and had done so with a custom template which I was able to alter to include the code that I previously had within the mla_caption parameter.

This is a great plugin!

Thanks for your swift reply.

I tried your suggestions and I’m afraid it wouldn’t work. Adding the code tags served only to change the font of my titles.

This is the shortcode code I’m working with at the moment:

[mla_gallery post_mime_type=application/pdf size="icon" attachment_category=policy-and-publications link=file columns=1 orderby=date order=desc mla_rollover_text='{+title+}' numberposts="2" mla_caption='<a href="{+file_url+}" target="_blank">{+title+}</a>' mla_target="_blank"]

[mla_gallery post_mime_type=application/pdf size="icon" attachment_category=policy-and-publications link=file columns=1 orderby=date order=desc mla_rollover_text='{+title+}' numberposts="2" mla_caption='<a href="{+file_url+}" target="_blank">{+title+}</a>' mla_target="_blank" mla_output="paginate_links,prev_next"]

I tried this with the addition of your opening and closing code tags, I also tried stripping my shortcode all away and trying your suggested shortcode all on its own but that wouldn’t work either.

If it helps, the page is here front end password = fluoride

It’s sorted now. Not sure what was going on yesterday.
This is my code just FYI

[mla_gallery mla_viewer="true" post_mime_type=application/pdf size="small-thumb" attachment_category=policy-and-publications link=file columns=1 orderby=date order=desc mla_style=none mla_rollover_text='{+title+}' numberposts="2"]

[mla_gallery mla_viewer="true" post_mime_type=application/pdf size="small-thumb" attachment_category=policy-and-publications link=file numberposts="2" mla_output="paginate_links,prev_next"]

Hi

Thanks for the response. It is an awesome plugin by the way.

Your solution was working but since updating wordpress to 4.3, it has stopped displaying the links

Thanks again

I suspected that it might be. I have a few membership related plugins running as the site has a members only forum.

I’ll have to look at their respective settings again, though I reckon it might be some kind of clash.

It seems that the problem was that I was trying to attach the same document to both pages, which doesn’t work for me. When I attach a newly uploaded document and attach it only to the second page, everything works fine with the original shortcode.

However, I might actually want to have the same document attached to both pages, is there a way to do this?
