What do you mean "Latest Posts"? Can you give us a link to the page?</p> <p>You can change the thumbnails size on functions.php </p> <pre><code>$avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;widget&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;36, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;36); // small preview pics eg sidebar news $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;entry_with_sidebar&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;710, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;270); // big images for blog and page entries $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;entry_without_sidebar&#39;]= array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;1030, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;360 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;square&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;180, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;180); // small image for blogs $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;featured&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;1500, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;430 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;portfolio&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;495, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;400 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column) $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;portfolio_small&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;260, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;185 ); // images for portfolio 4 columns $avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;gallery&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;710, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;575 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)</code></pre> <p>Regards,<br /> Ismael </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/larger-thumbnails-in-latest-posts#post-115918 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:40:06 +0000 hagmund 115918@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is there an easy way to increase the thumbnails in the "Latest posts" alternative in the content builder?<br /> Now they are 55x55 pixels, but I would like them to be around 100x100.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36322 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 07:31:24 +0000 Dude 36322@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that it works now :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36304 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:21:28 +0000 ptvguy 36304@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>One other thing I forgot about. You have to add the following code to the functions.php file to make use of WordPress thumbnail images even though you're actually using the full size image here.<br /> <pre><code>/* Activate native WordPress Post Thumbnails */ if ( function_exists( &#39;add_theme_support&#39; ) ) { add_theme_support( &#39;post-thumbnails&#39; ); }</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36292 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:01:45 +0000 ptvguy 36292@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks. You're absolutely right. I knew it would turn out to be something stupid. I was trying to get_posts with $args before it was even defined. Not only that, but I had residual code left over from my original version when I was just pulling one post at a time--hence the offset counter. Here's the now working version that doesn't require a separate plugin to get the right category.<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (is_home(&#39;&#39;)) : echo &quot;&lt;div class=&#39;container_wrap&#39; id=&#39;featured&#39;&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;container slideshow_container&#39;&gt;&lt;ul class=&#39;slideshow&#39;&gt;&quot;; global $post; $container_counter = 1; $category_number = 8; $args = array( &#39;numberposts&#39; =&gt; 3, &#39;category&#39; =&gt; $category_number ); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); $postid = get_the_ID(); $bg_color_key = &#39;newslide_bg_color&#39;; $slide_back_color = get_post_meta($postid, $bg_color_key, true); echo &quot;&lt;li class=&#39;featured featured_container&quot;.$container_counter.&quot;&#39; style=&#39;background: &quot;.$slide_back_color.&quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo &quot;&lt;a href=&#39;&quot;; echo the_permalink(); echo &quot;&#39; title=&#39;&quot;; echo the_title(); echo &quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo the_post_thumbnail(&#39;full&#39;); echo &quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;feature_excerpt&#39;&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href=&#39;&quot;; echo the_permalink(); echo &quot;&#39; title=&#39;&quot;; echo the_title(); echo &quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo the_title(); echo &quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;featured_caption&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo the_excerpt(); echo &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&quot;; $container_counter = $container_counter + 1; endforeach; echo &quot;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class=&#39;shadow-top&#39;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#39;shadow-bottom&#39;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;; else : echo &quot;&lt;div class=&#39;container_wrap&#39; id=&#39;featured&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo &quot;&lt;div class=&#39;container slideshow_container&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo avia_inc_display_featured(); echo &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;; echo &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;; endif; ?&gt;</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36270 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 09:54:25 +0000 Dude 36270@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'd insert the $args variable before following line (and not within the each loop):<br /> <pre><code>$myposts = get_posts( $args );</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36247 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:45:00 +0000 ptvguy 36247@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Well, crud. I've already hit a snag with this code. It should limit the posts pulled to category number 8. Instead, it's pulling the latest three posts from any category. I'm having to use the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/">Ultimate Category Excluder</a> plugin to keep the posts in other categories off the main page. Does anyone have any idea why it's not filtering by category properly? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36161 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:14:08 +0000 Dude 36161@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thank you for the contribution :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/homepage-slider-with-latest-post-images#post-36075 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:42:14 +0000 ptvguy 36075@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>BroadScope is great for displaying images beautifully in that huge slideshow it does. Unfortunately, at least in my case, the images have to be manually set on every page and post even if your using that page as the homepage. I post a month's worth of program highlights near the beginning of each month as posts with the category "Highlights." I need a specific image from each of those upcoming program highlights to appear in the main slider on the homepage three at a time, link to the post permalink, and then drop off the homepage as the time for each program comes up. I don't want to have to go in every day or two and manually change those images and captions. I therefore schedule the publication of each post in that category for the specific time that the third post back should disappear. (Did that make any sense?)</p> <p>The problem then is how to get the title, link, excerpt, and a specific image from the latest post in a specific category to appear in the big slider on the homepage that's only designed to hold images and text manually entered into it through the dashboard. (It seems like that would make a great option to add to the Avia framework.)</p> <p>Anyway, here's the code I added to the header.php file of the BroadScope theme. It replaces everything below "&lt;!-- ####### END HEAD CONTAINER ####### --&gt;".<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (is_home(&#39;&#39;)) : echo &quot;&lt;div class=&#39;container_wrap&#39; id=&#39;featured&#39;&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;container slideshow_container&#39;&gt;&lt;ul class=&#39;slideshow&#39;&gt;&quot;; global $post; $offset_counter = 0; $container_counter = 1; $myposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); $args = array( &#39;numberposts&#39; =&gt; 3, &#39;offset&#39; =&gt; $offset_counter, &#39;category&#39; =&gt; 8 ); $postid = get_the_ID(); $bg_color_key = &#39;newslide_bg_color&#39;; $slide_back_color = get_post_meta($postid, $bg_color_key, true); echo &quot;&lt;li class=&#39;featured featured_container&quot;.$container_counter.&quot;&#39; style=&#39;background: &quot;.$slide_back_color.&quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo &quot;&lt;a href=&#39;&quot;; echo the_permalink(); echo &quot;&#39; title=&#39;&quot;; echo the_title(); echo &quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo the_post_thumbnail(&#39;full&#39;); echo &quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;feature_excerpt&#39;&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href=&#39;&quot;; echo the_permalink(); echo &quot;&#39; title=&#39;&quot;; echo the_title(); echo &quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo the_title(); echo &quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;featured_caption&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo the_excerpt(); echo &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&quot;; $offset_counter = $offset_counter + 1; $container_counter = $container_counter + 1; if ($container_counter &gt; 3) break; endforeach; echo &quot;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class=&#39;shadow-top&#39;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#39;shadow-bottom&#39;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;; else : echo &quot;&lt;div class=&#39;container_wrap&#39; id=&#39;featured&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo &quot;&lt;div class=&#39;container slideshow_container&#39;&gt;&quot;; echo avia_inc_display_featured(); echo &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;; echo &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;; endif; ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>I know it's kind of cobbled together quickly, but it <a href="http://wwwtest.soptv.org/">displays the latest post stuff on the homepage large slider</a> where I need it without affecting the sliders I use on the other posts and pages, and it still looks like the normal large slider. It does, however, require two additional steps on the individual posts as I put them in through the dashboard:</p> <ol> <li> Use the standard WordPress Featured Image option (You may have to make sure "Featured Image" is enabled in the screen options on the top.) to choose an image from your media library to use for that post in the slider on the homepage. This is separate from the Avia Featured Image options. </li> <li> Use the Custom Field option (You may have to make sure "Custom Fields" is enabled in the screen options on the top.) to set a custom field called "newslide_bg_color" (without the quotes) and enter the background color you want for that slide in full hex format with the pound/number symbol (ie., #FFFFFF) in the value field. </li> </ol> <p>Hope this helps someone. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/featured-slider-pages#post-21141 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:57:47 +0000 Dude 21141@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Great, glad that it works now :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/featured-slider-pages#post-21070 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 06:14:02 +0000 katalintamas 21070@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes, changing the dates is a working solution!

Providing boxes to enter the posts and or pages by number so editing the code is not required.

The site is working fine with calling the last 5 published posts.</p> <p>Step 1 remove;<br /> <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;.$k_option[&#39;mainpage&#39;][&#39;feature_count&#39;]);</code><br /> from index.php</p> <p>Step 2 replace with;<br /> <code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&#39;page_id=39,57,73,276,44&#39;);</code><br /> In my case those are the pages I would like to use in the slider, for now, we will change them from time to time.</p> <p>What happens is the first featured image comes up, no other images come up.

The theme was a good price, your support is priceless.</p> <p>So I made a post called "This Week" (our intent is to promote one or two community activities each week) That is now a "posts page" (regardless of what I put in the text box, it displays posts that works fine for us)</p> <p>When I preview this page I see a "page" with all the posts on it. No slider, and no text displayed if added, this is good.</p> <p>Then in the WP Settings/Reading Settings I select for Front page displays, "A static page" for the front page, I select "test home" for the posts page I select "This Week"</p> <p>When viewing the site, the front page has no slider, the new "This Week" page, a page assigned the "Blog" template, shows the slider. The intent was to get the slider on the static, home page.</p> <p>How do I do that?</p> <blockquote><p>Also we have been working on a alternative plan, we would rather not use it but I would like to note it here for others if they needed it. The intent was to have a static front page with the incredible slider built into Newscast at the top. The posts would be on a side page. We added the following to the index.php file located in the Newscast theme folder.</p> <p>After;<br /> `<code> // ############################# FULL SIZED POSTS #############################<br /> if ($fullsized &gt; 0) :&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; $preview_image = kriesi_post_thumb($post-&gt;ID, array('size'=&gt; array('M'),<br /> 'display_link' =&gt; '_prev_image_link',<br /> 'linkurl' =&gt; array ('L','_preview_big'),<br /> 'wh' =&gt; $k_option['custom']['imgSize']['M']<br /> ));&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; ?&gt; </code><br /> add<br /> <code>&lt;?php if (is_home()) { ?&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=post&gt;<br /> &lt;h2&gt;Your title here&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;your text graphics and calls to other items here. HTML is ok, css style is ok to use, cgi scripts, and java work too.&lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;?php } ?&gt;</code></p> <p>Then set the post format 1 or 2 across in Newscast options, and number of posts in WP read options.
