Hi chrisc99
I could be awesome if you could try to use this code

if ( !file_exists( trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory() ) . 'archive-news.php' ) ) {

add_filter( 'template_include', 'simple_news_page_template' );
function simple_news_page_template( $template ) {
	$file_name = 'archive-news.php';
    if ( is_post_type_archive('news') ) {
         $template = dirname( __FILE__ ) .'/files/templates/'. $file_name;
    if ( '' != $new_template ) {
        return $new_template ;
    }
    }
    return $template;
}

}

… Instead of everything under line 112

Hi chrisc99
I really appreciate your feedback.
Looks like I first have to check for if custom theme files exist.

Do you get a php error messages?

Hi mik9
Strange …. maybe there is something wrong with your theme/plugin?
I have tested on many installations and everything is working fine … this is indeed strange???
The problems with comments have nothing to do with the plugin.

Hi imabbb
Yes of course
In your WordPress custom css use this code

.simple-news-grid-con {background: #fff; padding: 1em 0;}

Hope the new ver. 2.4 is working ??

Hi @mightyshiv

I’m working on a new version where the “/news” page (list page) is displaying all news in a grid divide in 4 rows … and with pagination.
Maybe that’s what you a looking for ??

thanks ??

no there is no pagination

The shortcodes is listed here

I then think you should dump the default /news and made your own. Make a normal page ( /newsxx ) and use the shortcodes to build your news grid

It’s hard for me to tell. I don’t know your theme or elementor. What do you want to change?

Hi – the news page is not the plugin. The look of /news is design by your theme. The plugin only list items (news) on this page. Hope this makes sense

… Maybe later …

I think you are looking for another plugin. What you describe is very smart, but Simplenews is for another purpose.
