    Hi,

    I’m trying to display my blogpage as a grid with the help of the blog shortcode.
    I’ve removed the choice of blogpage from Settings > Reading (suggested by you in another thread)
    I have the page template as Standard (you suggested Blog in the other thread but there is no such template in Alora 🙂 )
    It shows the blogposts but not in anything that resembles a grid 🙂

    The shortcode is this
    [blog number_posts=”” cat_slug=”” exclude_cats=”” title=”yes” thumbnail=”yes” excerpt=”yes” excerpt_words=”35″ meta_all=”no” meta_author=”no” meta_categories=”yes” meta_comments=”yes” meta_date=”yes” meta_link=”yes” meta_tags=”no” paging=”no” scrolling=”infinite” strip_html=”no” blog_grid_columns=”3″ layout=”large”][/blog]

    page: http://martinlindahl.se/blogg/

    Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    try to set the number of posts? did you insert the shortcode through the shortcodes button?

    Yes, used the shortcode button in visual mode. Removed it and inserted a new one with 9 as nr of posts. Also removed infinite scrolling just in case that would confuse things. Still doesn’t work.

    Code now:
    [blog number_posts=”9″ cat_slug=”” exclude_cats=”” title=”yes” thumbnail=”yes” excerpt=”yes” excerpt_words=”35″ meta_all=”no” meta_author=”no” meta_categories=”yes” meta_comments=”yes” meta_date=”yes” meta_link=”yes” meta_tags=”no” paging=”yes” scrolling=”pagination” strip_html=”yes” blog_grid_columns=”3″ layout=”large”][/blog]

    Any other ideas? 🙂

    I followed your instructions a couple of days ago, but haven’t heard back. Did you find a solution?

    there was a small bug, you forgot to define the layout on the end of the shortcode:

    Code:
    [blog number_posts=”” cat_slug=”” exclude_cats=”” title=”yes” thumbnail=”yes” excerpt=”yes” excerpt_words=”35″ meta_all=”yes” meta_author=”yes” meta_categories=”yes” meta_comments=”yes” meta_date=”yes” meta_link=”yes” meta_tags=”yes” paging=”yes” scrolling=”pagination” strip_html=”yes” blog_grid_columns=”3″ layout=”grid“][/blog]
