Post type post creates incorrect read-more link

    Hello,

    I would like to avoid create post timeline entries and just refer to actual posts I have, where I have added a category to them to be used.

    I read in instructions that I could use this format:
    [post-timeline ptl-post-type=”post” category_id=”91″]
    Which sort of works.
    However the Read-more link to the actual post gives a error because it always puts an additional “post-timeline/” in the url before the page name.

    I tried the permalink refresh for file not found but that didn’t do it. It really seems that using ptl-post-type=”post” doesn’t know it is not a post-timeline entry. Any ideas?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi again,

    Okay, I managed to get it working by deactivating and then reactivating the plugin on a new test site! Not an ideal situation.

    I noticed the url in the read more link still has the extra /post-timeline/ before the post title, but now somehow refreshes to the correct post url. So… I am guessing somehow the posts identified with the correct category are somehow added to the table for the Post Timeline plugin?

    Anyway, however it works… I will try populating the page above by putting other posts in and see how long it lasts like this, and will get back to you. (Once I get back into my server. For some reason I got locked out just when I had some progress. Figures!)

    Hi @prombough , sorry for the delay, we are just checking the issue which you have highlighted and will push the updates in a few.

    # You can remove that /post-timeline/ slug, with this shortcode.

    [post-timeline ptl-slug=””]

    Hi Agile 😉

    Hey, that worked!

    I simply added the empty pt-slug line to my original as in
    [post-timeline ptl-slug=”” ptl-post-type=”post” category_id=”93″]
    and immediately the Read more link worked great.

    This is super useful for us, as I will be able to use it on my history site for event timelines easily, but it also means others will be able to use it simply to display past blog entries in a more effective way too!

    Excellent! Thanks for your reply and help!
