Inside a blank page I have inserted a Block 10, showing latest posts of category A.
Do you know, which file I must edit to add a custom loop so to fetch posts from A with a specific custom field only?
Thanks.
Hi,
You could filer those post by using theme’s tag filer instead of hard-coding a custom query. Just add a specific tag for those posts that use that specific custom filed then filter the posts on the block using that tag.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
It is a more complicated scenario that involves dates inside custom fields.
Unfortunately I really need to hard-code a custom query for this.
So, I insist το my question about the file I have to edit 🙂
Hi,
The theme uses wp query arguments to build query’s: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query which are changed here: http://screencast.com/t/rbKeNtnjvwdg – http://screencast.com/t/RODnUcHaj – http://screencast.com/t/esfcQqgeX
This is not easy so I suggest you get a freelancer or a developer for this is you can’t manage it.
Thanks
Thanks very much for the reply.
You are totally right. This approach is really difficult.
Finally I managed to find a solution with a nested wp query inside the page template…
I would like to ask you something else.
1. Is it possible to disable the link on the title of only one (not all of them) block on the homepage?
2. On category pages I see this: <meta itemprop="author" content="geopal">
I want to replace content=”geopal” with something static even for the other authors. How I can do it?
3. And the last one: Is it possible to trim the excerpts that appear on category pages?
Thanks in advance for your patience 🙂
Hi,
1. You have to modify the function which adds the link on title to skip a certain block – http://screencast.com/t/nAn9HqunH – unfortunately it’s not an easy task, if you don’t know how to doit i suggest that you hire a professional developer to do this for you.
2. From your image the location is inside block 6 – module 9 – http://screencast.com/t/oP2bv45Ygou – you have to make modifications on the function which returns the meta – http://screencast.com/t/siY5O7logPb
3. You have to modify each module and add a condition to state that the excerpt is displayed on all pages except for the category page – http://screencast.com/t/3u7R8JkBa
Thank you, Emil G.
Thank you very much.
About my third question, by saying I want to “trim” the excerpt, I don’t mean to disable it totally, but reduce the number of words that appearing.
Can I use the “get_the_excerpt” or the “the_excerpt()” functions instead of your function?
Hi,
You can try something like this – http://screencast.com/t/HErxoQbBF5
Result:
*category page(module 2) – http://screencast.com/t/WOhDob9SlZKh
*page (block 7) default excerpt length in Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/AN3kGzKs
Thanks!
