Otherwise to QA it I would first delete one of your 36 to see if that makes a difference with 35 or 34 in total. When you were making the page did this problem begin all of a sudden or the 4th thumbnail was always present even when you added the first 4 to the slider? </p> <p>I would create a new slider and start adding the images while keeping track of how the page looks. If this happens immediately, then you should re-install WordPress + the theme, since it doesn't happen on my localhost with my setup.</p> <p>Please let us know how it turns out,</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-many-featured-post-thumbnails-showing-on-blog-overview#post-77953 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:17:51 +0000 Mya 77953@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Amy,</p> <p>Are you using the latest version of Shoutbox and WordPress? If you have any plugins activate, deactivate them and see if that corrects the issue. In the meantime, I'm going to tag the rest of the support team because I don't recall seeing a similar issue.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Mya </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-many-featured-post-thumbnails-showing-on-blog-overview#post-77806 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:37:52 +0000 ces-design 77806@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Rich,</p> <p>Hmmm...I ran through a few different search terms, but I didn't come across anyone with the same issue as me. Do you remember a post you saw that addressed this same issue? If so, I will be happy to check it out.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Amy </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-many-featured-post-thumbnails-showing-on-blog-overview#post-77699 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 00:21:55 +0000 rumblefish 77699@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>This double thumbnail problem under the slider keeps coming up lately. Check some of the previous posts. You might find the answer there.</p> <p>rich </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/too-many-featured-post-thumbnails-showing-on-blog-overview#post-77662 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:26:38 +0000 ces-design 77662@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello there,</p> <p>I'm building a website locally using Shoutbox. On my Blog Overview Page (homepage) I have the Featured Posts slider set to include 3 specific categories that altogether have 36 posts. I set the slider to cycle through 36 posts as well, so all get one look. Because there are 3 slots for featured posts thumbnails under the main slider, it makes sense that there should be 3 underneath at all times (36 divided by 3 = 12, very neatly).</p> <p>However, when I first click on the home page, there are 4 featured posts thumbnails under the main slider - 3 in the normal row, and then 1 directly under the first one in its own second row. As it cycles, it leaves space for the second row although there is nothing filling it, and when it gets to the last posts, there is a row of only 2 thumbnails. Can you tell me what I need to edit to specify that there should only be one row? It looks kind of dopey to have so much space between the slider and the News Blog when there's an empty second row =)</p> <p>Very best,</p> <p>Amy </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/maximum-of-9-featured-posts-on-slider-why#post-44243 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:35:51 +0000 Devin 44243@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad its working to your satisfaction now. I'll mark this as resolved :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/maximum-of-9-featured-posts-on-slider-why#post-44231 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:48:07 +0000 demozeno 44231@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Brilliant, Devin. That did the trick. I so appreciate your help. I was ready to give up, but everything's back on track now. No doubt, I'll have some more problems to resolve as I get to grips with wordpress – I'm a novice – but big thanks for the moment. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/maximum-of-9-featured-posts-on-slider-why#post-43928 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 21:31:24 +0000 Devin 43928@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey Demozeno,</p> <p>I think you might be running into an issue with too many labels that are closely named. When you change the number of Featured Posts for the Main News Page Option, you will only see those changes on the page you have designated to display the "News Overview".</p> <p>Check that the page you have designated to be your "home" page (ie the index that shows up when you view the site) is using the dynamic template "Frontpage". If it is, you need to go to the Template Builder, select Frontpage and then expand the Blog element. Near the bottom of those options is where you will change the number of Featured Posts to display.</p> <p>If this is not the case, please let me know. I checked through the rest of the instances to make sure the featured image amount was working correctly and I didn't run into any issues. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/maximum-of-9-featured-posts-on-slider-why#post-43720 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:59:41 +0000 demozeno 43720@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Can I get some support on this? I purchased the theme because of the slider and it doesn't seem to be working as it should. Much appreciated. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/maximum-of-9-featured-posts-on-slider-why#post-43430 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:00:06 +0000 demozeno 43430@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I only seem to be able to get a maximum of 9 images and posts to appear on the Featured Slider on the news page. It doesn't matter what I change the amount to when I change Number of Featured Posts in the Main News Page Option, it will only show 9 images and posts, which is not what I want. What am I missing here? (Website still on localhost, so can't refer you to it at the moment). </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21540 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 13:49:20 +0000 Dude 21540@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that it worked for you :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21525 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 22:00:50 +0000 skane 21525@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Sorry, posted wrong code above. My solution was as follows:</p> <p>1. created a custom field called <em>link_to</em><br /> 2. changed line 43 in index.php from <strong>the_permalink()</strong> to <strong>echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, 'link_to', true)</strong> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21524 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:01:08 +0000 skane 21524@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Worked great, thanks.</p> <p>In my case, I created a custom field called link_to and then changed line 43 in index.php from <strong><em>the_permalink()</em></strong> to <strong><em>the_permalink($post-&gt;ID, 'link_to', true)</em></strong> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21519 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:06:23 +0000 skane 21519@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks. I'll try that. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21501 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 06:17:37 +0000 Dude 21501@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> You could use custom fields and the get post meta function: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta</a> to enter a custom link per post. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-homepage-slider-to-a-post-or-page-other-than-itself#post-21451 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:19:35 +0000 skane 21451@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Having the ability to link homepage slider posts (or pages) to posts or pages other than themselves would greatly improve the usability of the sliders. It would enable custom titles and blurbs for each featured item, instead of being limited to the featured post title and excerpted content as they are now.</p> <p>In attempting to model a solution, I replaced line 43 of index.php with an absolute link. </p> <p>In other words, replacing <strong>href=/"&lt; ?php the_permalink(); ? </strong> with <strong>mysite.com/otherpost/</strong>.</p> <p>It worked as far as linking slider posts to a different post (or page), but of course now <em>all</em> posts point to a single link.</p> <p>To make this solution workable, Is it possible to replace<strong><em>the_permalink</em></strong> with the name of the field on the post edit screen <em>Full Size Pic or Video for Lightbox (Image and Video Links allowed )</em>? This would enable the link to be easily maintainable for each slider post within the post edit function. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/featured-posts-ordered-by-last-modified-date#post-5354 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 06:46:16 +0000 Dude 5354@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>As far as I know you can achieve what you want by changing the loop order. Open index.php - you'll find following code there:<br /> <pre><code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;cat=&quot;.$k_option[&#39;mainpage&#39;][&#39;feature_cats_final&#39;].&quot;&amp;posts_per_page=&quot;.$k_option[&#39;mainpage&#39;][&#39;feature_count&#39;]);</code></pre> <p>According to this page <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts</a> there's the possibility to order "by modification date" by using orderby=modified</p> <p>So replace the code above with:</p> <pre><code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;cat=&quot;.$k_option[&#39;mainpage&#39;][&#39;feature_cats_final&#39;].&quot;&amp;orderby=modified&amp;posts_per_page=&quot;.$k_option[&#39;mainpage&#39;][&#39;feature_count&#39;]);</code></pre> <p>The Dude </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/featured-posts-ordered-by-last-modified-date#post-5327 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:06:46 +0000 romancretnik 5327@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm looking for a way to order the 5 posts in the featured category. The best way would be if ordered by the "get_the_modified_time()" function.<br /> I found it here <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/display-the-last-updated-date-of-your-posts-in-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/display-the-last-updated-date-of-your-posts-in-wordpress/</a>, but I don't know, how to implement it to index.php.<br /> If this would work, every post, assigned to featured category would automaticaly "jump" to the first (left) place.<br /> Can you please help me with that? </p>
