Hi all, sorry for causing this problem. This is now fixed in 1.1.1. My apologies for the problems caused – this was a stupid mistake on my part.

Hi all,

I’m very sorry – I messed up preparing the release of this plugin. As soon as I found out about the problem I prepared a new release – 1.1.1. Please install the new version, it will fix your problems.

Again, my apologies for releasing a buggy version!

– Mike

For people following this thread or coming in with the same problem: we identified what caused the problem (large amount of tags and users) and it is fixed as per v1.1.

Hi @yliharma,

With @csdaavid I identified some queries that could cause sites with a large amount of tags or users to crash on the edit screen. Please try out version 1.1 and see if the problem still occurs!

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Marcello,

All the tiles have the class wp-tiles-tile, so you could target <p> tags in the tiles by using it in your CSS:

.wp-tiles-tile p {
    color: white;
}

Cheers,

Hi Kraxxy!

Thanks for the review!

Unfortunately, there is no in-built way of displaying the comment count on posts. The only way of doing it is by defining your own tags for use in the byline templates. If you are handy with PHP, look at the wp_tiles_byline_tags filter in WPTiles.php, you could use it to add the comment count to the templates.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Plyro,

Thanks for reporting this, and also reporting your fix! I am very curious how this happened and will have a look into compatibility with Code Snippets Library.

Hi @fitstick,

Happy you got this solved by using posts instead of the gallery. However, one of the nice features of WP Tiles 1.0 is that you can use WP Tiles as a gallery. That the tick box doesn’t show up up is probably because of a theme/plugin conflict! The alternative is to go into the ‘Text’ tab of your editor and adding tiles=yes to the gallery shortcode, like this:

[gallery ids=12,23,34 tiled=yes]

@reswpme thanks for stepping in!

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi @jakours2,

Good to hear this solved itself.. I have no idea what was happening though! I suspect a plugin conflict. Did you activate or deactivate any plugins between your posts?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @cenamare,

Thanks for your comment!

WP Tiles tries to integrate as much as it can with themes, but because there is no way to anticipate all theme CSS, conflicts can occur sometimes.

The only solution is to check the CSS rules that are applied to the tiles and overriding them.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @neverone,

Happy you got this solved. And thanks for your comment!

Hi @c-m,

Check out the docs of WP_Query for extra info on querying categories: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters

Basically, if you add the cat argument, you can query by category ID:

$query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => 4,
    'paged' => 1,
    'cat' => 67
) );

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @lamba84, thanks for your comment!

You could achieve your effect with some custom coding – you would need to create a WP Query that contains 1 post per category. However, I think your own solution is not bad at all. You could create a page for each category at the the URL of the category and then use that page to display on WP Tiles. It’s only slightly hacky and does get the job done without any custom coding!

Cheers,
Mike

Hi @flying936,

Sorry to hear WP Tiles is giving you trouble. The shortcode editor button doesn’t show up properly on the ‘Text’ tab in the editor. If you switch to Visual the button should be full width.

I have not seen the behaviour you describe with regards to the black background. Avada is a premium theme, so I can’t quickly test it. Can you switch to TwentyFifteen to see if the problem also occurs there?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi!

1) There is only 1 byline template available in the admin section, to use multiple, you have to hardcode them in the shortcode.

2) What do you mean with persistent? If you want it to show up without hover, set the byline effect to none and set a fixed height for your bylines

3) Add the parameter category with the category name (NB: that is the category slug) to your shortcode!

Cheers,
Mike
