1. how can i increase the number of related posts from 3 to 6?
2. how can i show a custom link in posted by (under the title)? instead of showing the other posts of the author. i have a plugin where you can put a custom author name and author URL which worked in my previous theme but stopped working when i switched to newsmag.
thanks!
Hi,
1 Please edit td_module_single.php and change this value: http://screencast.com/t/1rZ0Bsa9wz9u
Result: http://screencast.com/t/YYIerbuU4F
2. In the same file you can modify the link that display author’s posts: http://screencast.com/t/kcO3TbVs
Thanks!
hi, thanks!
with regards to number 2, the link can vary from post to post (its not constant)
i have this custom author plugin –> 
where you can enter the link of the source of the article…
for reference, kindly check this –> http://brgyginebra.ph/
thanks!
additional:
1. is it possible to limit the number of characters in the titles of the related posts?
2. is it possible to set the date filter to random? (related posts)
thanks!
something like this, the title doesn’t go to the third line…
thanks! (sorry for the multiple posts)
Hi,
Regarding to your second matter from your first post please note that the theme doesn’t have an option. You could assign an author (user) for each post manually from here: http://screencast.com/t/LsfObBNIQ bat you can’t set a custom URL for it so I suggest you try to find a plugin similar to the one you’ve mentioned or alter the code as you like here: http://screencast.com/t/bU1Gon4qapKJ
1. The title excerpt can be modified from here: http://screencast.com/t/dEcKqWYGIMiL
2. Add 'sort'=>'random_posts' like this: http://screencast.com/t/XoHogueI
Thanks
hi! thanks for the reply!
by the way, i updated my WPBakery Visual Composer – followed your instructions here, but when i checked the plugins –> 
did i miss anything?
hi again!
maybe you’ll know what to do – coz after i increased the related posts to 6, the 2nd row sometimes jumps to the 3rd row when one or two of the titles in the 1st row is longer than the other…
see screenshot –>
can the spacing between the two rows be increased? thanks…
Hi,
We will release an update with the new version of VC as soon as they will fix issues that apparently they have with the current version.
I have also tested this and haven’t found any issue: http://screencast.com/t/XH1Xit8MtTo
Please provide a link so I can inspect this.
Thanks
hi! there are no issues when you have set the number of words to 4 or 5, but when set it to 10 or more it happens when one of the three titles in the first row has a 2nd line, forcing the article beneath it to jump to the 3rd row… i think the only fix here is to increase the spacing between the 1st and 2nd row…
thanks!
Hi,
The posts are aligned one after another without a row. Please try this custom css:
.td_related_posts .td-related-span4:nth-child(3n+1){
clear: left;
}
Thanks
that’s it! FIXED! thank you!
hi! for some reason this code 'sort'=>'random_posts' doesn’t work after the update…
want my related posts to be random and not latest, any fix to this?
thanks!
Hi,
After you updated the theme all your files were overwritten so you have to add 'sort'=>'random_posts' again to module_single.php like Lucian instructed to you above.
Thanks!
