    Hello,
    I’m using the latest version of your plugin. I would like to have 3 latest excerpts with title and dates on my home page.
    My shortcut is following:

    [slposts title=”Blog – Latest posts” title_only=false suppress_filters=true number_posts=3 excerpt_length=40 excerpt_trail=image full_meta=true posts_per_page=3]

    Unfortunately I can’t get the excerpts displayed. Just title and date.

    Thank you very much for your help.
    Regards

    Hi, if excerpts are not being displayed it means your posts have no excerpts. If you don’t want to create an excerpt for each one of them, then you could use the auto_excerpt parameter to force Single Latest Posts to create one from posts’ content.

    Try using this shortcode instead:

    [slposts title="Blog - Latest posts"
          title_only=false
          suppress_filters=true
          number_posts=3
          excerpt_length=40
          auto_excerpt=true
          excerpt_trail=image
          full_meta=true
          posts_per_page=3
]

    I’m looking forward to your feedback.

    Best regards.

    Works like a charm! Thank you very much!

    Just one thing, I’m trying to align the date of the post with its title.
    I’ve tried this code:

    .slposts-ulist-meta{
    position:relative;
    top:-30px;
    }
    It moved up the date but the text of the excerpt text is still wrapping around the place where the date use to be.

    Thanks again.
    Best regards
