hmm sorry but I’m not quite certain what you mean?

I think this should work.
Change line 28 to this instead:

	$categories = get_the_category();
	$separator = ', ';
	$output = '';
	if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
	  foreach( $categories as $category ) {
	    $output .=  esc_html( $category->name ) . $separator;
	  }
	  echo '<div class="simple-news-date">' . get_the_date() . ' - ' . '<span class="simple-news-categories">' . trim( $output, $separator ) . '</span></div>';
	}

I think your idea with displaying the category name is something I will implement in the next update – thanks ??

Hi klfrnds

If you have the courage, try changing the line 28 in the functions.php (folder = files)

from:
echo '<div class="simple-news-date">' . get_the_date() . '</div>';
to:
echo '<div class="simple-news-date">' . get_the_date() . ' - ' . '<span class="simple-news-categories" >' . get_the_category_list( ', ' ) . '</span></div>';

Please let me know if it helps

An easy way is to divide all the news like this:

<h3>Cat name 1</h3>
[news cat=1]

<h3>Cat name 2</h3>
[news cat=2]

<h3>Cat name 3</h3>
[news cat=3]

… but you want the cat name inside the news … am I right?
If that’s the case, then I have to change the coding in the plugin.

Morten

Please explain … I’m not sure what you are thinking about?

If you do not have an ftp program, I recommend FileZilla
https://filezilla-project.org/

But I sense that you don’t know that much about programming, perhaps this is not the right way for you and your website.

I really don’t think you need two differents news plugin …. think you are going in the wrong direction …. One news plugin and then use categories to differ between what you need.

Strange
Then undo your coding, and try the fix but now with ftp

sorry
'labels' => array('name' => __('News XXX', 'simple-news')

‘labels’ => array(‘name’ => __(‘News Case Studies’, ‘simple-news’),

Try to rename the menuitem
In the file news.php on line number 24 – rename ‘News’ to something else

'labels' => array('name' => __('News', 'simple-news'),
to
'labels' => array('name' => __('News' XXX, 'simple-news'),

Are you now able to see both plugins menuitems ?

??
Morten

Do you mean the same plugin two times?
If so – it’s not possible

“… installed Simply New but it isnt showing on my menu bar.”
You mean the admin menu bar?

You can use two shortcodes. One for “sector” and one for “service”

example
[news cat=1] and [news cat=2]
cat = 1 => sector
cat = 2 => service

cool – I will update the plugin now ….deleting this lines.
Thank you for your help

Hi mik9
I think I know whats wrong.
If you could help me testing it I would really appreciate.

In the file news.php delete the last lines (85 – 94)

// Show news items in archive
function simple_news_show_in_archives( $query ) {
	if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
		$query->set( 'post_type', array(
		'post', 'nav_menu_item', 'news'
		));
		return $query;
	}
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'simple_news_show_in_archives' );

Hey techgig101
The shortcode only printing the 2 latest news is:
[news number=2]

… and then you have to hide elements using css

.simple-news-img-con,
.simple-news-date,
.simple-news-excerpt {display: none;}

Hope that makes sense

Morten

Glad I could help ??
