Aha!

It’s what I was looking for on lines 704 to 719.

Thank you for your help.

Hello again:

Is there any chance you could us help out and give example of the code we should use to make the index.php and the categories (blog layout) have the same nice appearance as the search page layout. (thumbnail o left, w/ title/excerpt on right and continue reading beneath…

Gave it a try but not having luck with it.

Thank you!

Thanks for your help!
That worked for me ??

Using the shortcode format example you have on the plugin page.
[feedzy-rss feeds="<validrssfeedusedhere>" max="5" feed_title="yes" target="_blank" refresh="1_hours" title="50" meta="author, date, time, tz=local" summary="yes" summarylength="300" thumb="no"]

Thanks.
Which is the correct the CSS to edit if I want to manually change it instead of over riding it in theme CSS options?

I’m using latest version of plugin on all updated WP installation w/ no other issues.

Good question about the short code!?

I can see to include the function as in your documentation,
but I could not find any reference how to implement it in shortcode!

Please advise.
Thanks you

Great thanks!

Sure would be nice if there were a feature to automatically create new cache for articles once they expire. Google does not index any of the articles feed like it did before the spinner …waiting for feed. So before even though it took a few second delay for the page to load, when it did…the article feed was already there. So when this was the case, Google indexes whatever new content is shown in the article feed list. Waaaaay better for seo.

I have 1000’s of posts, and each one uses the plugin to pull Google news feed based on the post title. So they are all going to have expired cache most likely for the user and Google bot.

Would be glad to BETA test a auto pre-caching feed feature.

Thanks, I tried a few things w/ no luck. Have already done alot of changes/tweaks to the default/main OceanWP theme, so don’t want to activate child theme and start with design changes all over again.

I tried copy/pasting the code from the search.php and overwrite the index.php wit it, but here’s what I got… see screenshots below imgur link.

1st screenshot is the search.php code used on the index.php file. Right idea, but the styling/layout is wrong.

2nd screenshot is the default search results page layout – it’s what I’d like to have as the default style for the “blog entries” layout for front page and categories.

See both screenshots compared:

Thank you for any help you can give on this…

This is the plugin you should try:
“Magic Post Thumbnail” – it’s a free WordPress plugin.

There are other plugins that will show random images from your media library.
Look in wordpress plugins for “featured image” or “random image”

I can’t logon to the demo today.
What’s the logon url? ……../admin?

Our site is using another plugin to create auto-posts via RSS Google Search Trends. For the featured news articles in the content of the post, we’re using your plugin with the following custom function and added via [custom_rss] shortcode into the posts using the Ad Inserter plugin. Seems to work well, but just want to figure out how to not have the RSS titles show up redundantly again in the excerpt below the title/headlines.

// create [custom_rss] shortcode
add_shortcode( 'custom_rss', 'execute_custom_rss_shortcode' );
function execute_custom_rss_shortcode() {
  return do_shortcode('[wp_rss_retriever url="https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=' . get_the_title() . '&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen" items="7" excerpt="50" read_more="true" credits="false" new_window="true" cache="3 hours"]');
}

Yes, I checked.
It is set to “Before and After the Content”.
But it does not show after the content.

Perhaps a plugin conflict?
Ad Inserter is one of the other plugins being used.

A shortcode option to insert social sharing would be so useful.
Seems like the code is already there with the built in OceanWP social sharing widget.
Just needs to be converted to a shortcode option.

Thanks

Could be cool if there were an admin option to cache feeds on blog posts that are newer than X days or some other way time-range control. On an automated site creating 25 posts each day, it adds up fast. Multiple 1000’s of posts… Just trying to think of way that the page will load fast with all content including the RSS feed with no spinner/delay. If we want to keep the news articles in the RSS feeds timely then probably don’t want to set the RSS feed cache to much older than 3 hours. So with 3 hour setting it’s likely that 50% of views are going to require the feed to update delay. Hope this makes sense.

Enjoying using the plugin otherwise. Thanks!

Hello James (@macmanx)

Thanks for letting me know.
Had no intention of using links as spam.
Purely as a reference/example for plugin devs, for issues regarding plugins.
So would appreciate some leniency on this issue.

How are we supposed to relay issues to plugin devs without using live site examples?
Frustrating being classified as a “spammer” when it’s certainly not the intention.

Make sense??
Thanks
