Hi @travelavenger

Thanks for the shortcode and it looks OK. I have tested the same shortcode in my local and it is working perfectly.

Can you please tell me which hosting are you using? Because some hosting company disable the order by random.

Is there any plugin active which can modify the WP Query behavior?

One more thing, Its only orderby=”rand” or none of the orderby parameter is working.

Hi @travelavenger

Can you please provide the full shortcode which you are using? So I will take a look and try to understand the scenario.

Hi @mm7916mm7916

Thanks for the webs page link. You are talking about the single blog page (https://worshipconsulting.com/titanic-worship/) right?

The single blog page is handled and controlled by your current theme. It loos kike you are using the Divi theme. The single page right hand side is called a “Sidebar”.

So in the sidebar you can put the “Widget” and it will be displayed at the front end. News and Blog Designer Pack plugin have two different types of widget available one is Latest Posts and another is Post Vertical Scrolling.

You can configure any of them so main blog / article will be displayed on left side and other related articles will be displayed in sidebar like https://demo.infornweb.com/interview-book-world-film-composers-4/

I hope the above information will work for you.

Hi @henmore

Thanks for the web page link. I have checked your home page and I can see the Post Slider below the main header slider.

Please refer to the screenshot below

Also I have checked it on Mozilla Firefox as well as on Chrome and there is no issue in that. Are you referring to the same slider or another place slider?

Hi @henmore

Any update on this please?

Hi @henmore

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Blog Grid & Post Grid – News & Blog Designer Pack plugin displays the post via shortcode with WordPress built-in WP_Query so It is 100% compatible with cache.

Have you flushed the cache after activating Cloudflare service?

Can you please give me your web page URL on which you had setup the plugin? So I can take a look and try to understand the scenario. Also please let me know which shortcode / layout you are using.

Hi @michelles00

Sorry for the delay response.

Thanks for the web page link. I have checked it and post slider images looks good. After media_size="full" parameter images does not look blury.

Is there anything I can help you?

Hi @michelles00

For your query,

01) For the post slider, how do make the featured image in the background smaller, so it isn’t as blurry?
Ans – Can you please provide me your web page URL on which you had setup the plugin so I can take a look and try to understand the scenario.

You can try media_size shortcode parameter for this. e.g. [psac_post_slider media_size="full"] – Where full is original media size. You can try any WordPress registered image size like thumbnail, medium, large etc.

02) there is no way to reverse the order for sliders from oldest to newest?
Ans – Post Slider and Post Carousel already displays the post in the descending order based on post date. e.g. [psac_post_slider orderby="date" order="DESC"]

You can change it as per your need and try WP Query Order and Order By parameters.

Hi @michelles00

Yes, Post Slider and Post Carousel plugin display the latest post by default.

You can always apply the shortcode parameter orderby and order for it.

Most viewed post slider functionality is not available in the lite version.

Hi @sofiatorent

Thanks for providing the webpage link. I have checked it and looks everything OK. I can not see the issue there.

Please refer to the screenshot below
https://prnt.sc/dS7Ox6TCbWSJ

This generally happens when page is not fully loaded or any of the blog / post image is not lot available. Pleas let me know if there is anything.

Hi @mm7916mm7916

Sorry for the late response.

Just navigate to “Appearance –> Widgets”.

Under this section you can find the widget ie – “BDP – Latest Post Widget” https://prnt.sc/y2dRVTE9UWVC

You place this widget in the sidebar.

Please let me know if there is anything.

Hi @thezanyprogressive

Thanks for the webpage link.

Post Slider and Post Carousel lite version support WordPress default post type and ‘category’ taxonomy.

You can still filter the posts by taxonomy ‘post_tag’ with the query filter available. If you need I can provide you the custom code for it. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Hi @travelavenger

Thanks for the links. I appreciate your response in this but every slider has its own JS and needs to identify why it is not working or conflicting.

There can be many issues or conflict with another functionality. It will be good if I can see only one page of your website where it is setup so it will help me to understand the scenario.

Hi @ron1224

Thanks for the web page link. I have checked your home page but I can not see the Blog Post there.

Are you talking about the home page? OR have you removed it?

As per your question, It looks like it is coming from your theme or any other plugin because News & Blog Designer Pack plugin works with shortcodes and widgets. It display the news and blog posts where plugin shortcode is added.
