    Hello,

    I’m currently trying to use the blog shortcode to replace your classic blog page.

    The problem is that I use the YARPP plugin (Yet Another Related Post Plugin) which works fine on the classic blog page but which displays multiple related post on the blog page when I use the shoertcode (related posts are displayed under each post of the blog page).

    Because it worked on the classic blog page and not on the blog shortcode page I assume this might be a bug on your side? Maybe from from a bad excerpt of the post…

    The blog shortcode I use is:

    [blog number_posts=”10″ cat_slug=”” exclude_cats=”” title=”yes” title_link=”yes” thumbnail=”no” excerpt=”no” excerpt_length=”10″ meta_all=”no” meta_author=”no” meta_categories=”no” meta_comments=”no” meta_date=”no” meta_link=”no” meta_tags=”no” paging=”no” scrolling=”infinite” strip_html=”yes” blog_grid_columns=”4″ layout=”grid” class=”” id=”” include_shortcodes=”yes”][/blog]

    Thank you in advance for your help,
    victor.

    Hi,

    Sorry, we do not provide third party plugin integration support.

    To display blog post by using a shortcode, we have to run a WordPress custom query using WP_Query class, the “classic” blog page is a WordPress main query, this is why your related post plugin does not work with our blog shortcode.

    The plugin probably has function to integrate into blog shortcode, you can contact us via our services page for customization assistance. https://theme4press.com/services/

    Thanks!

    Hello!
    Thank you for your answer 🙂
    The only reason I use the shortcode is because you don’t provide an option in the administration panel to make the blog in full width. (And 4 columns blog with the default blog width is just impossible for the user experience)…

    So could you please tell me what to change in the theme to make the blog full width?

    Thank you in advance?

    Hi,

    I think you have already asked this before. https://theme4press.com/support/topic/full-width-blog-with-4-columns-grid/

    If any feature that you require, but is not available within the theme, you can contact us via our services page https://theme4press.com/services/ or hire a developer from http://jobs.wordpress.net/

    Sorry, I am just an employee and I have to follow company rules, my employer is not going to pay me for customization work done for customer, or any customization assistance, other than providing Custom CSS code.

    Hope you understand my difficulties. It’s difficult for me to find this awesome job as a Support Moderator in this forum. Thanks!

    Best Regards,
    Denzel

    Hello,
    I understand the hard border between technical support and customisation and so your position.
    Could you just give me the file/function/line where this is manage?
    This is just technical support, don’t need more…

    Hi!
    OK cool, thanks for this starting point!
    I will take a look and if it is too much trouble there I will come through your customisarion service 🙂
    The thing is, this is for a amateur blog which doesn’t really make money for now…
    However I might be curious to know the price to add a feature which might be added to the official theme…
    Like adding a radio button to turn on/off the full width on the blog page or add some input to choose the thickness/space between blog post…
    I really thing your theme is awesome and that you are building a great community around… Maybe there is a way to turn it into profits by asking people some features ideas and “crowd founding” the development of some of them so every body get happy 🙂

    Well just ideas… Have a good day, and thank you again!
    Viktor.
