Thank you for listening and paying attention to your users!

Hi,

That’s great, thanks! I didn’t see this, because it’s not listed in the shortcode parameter list of the plugin’s description (free version).

Anyway, it does completely solve my problem. I need this because I use CSS extensively to style the carousel and slider.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

I did test the plugin with the same parameters in my local test site as well, with all other plugins disabled, and it behaves in the same way: all the parameters from the shortcode related to the autoplay function are either ignored (true/false), or else misinterpreted (the numeric values).
Of course I dont copy / paste code in the visual editor, I do it in text mode only!
It could be a js issue, but I can’t see how it still won’t work with all other plugins off, and why all OTHER shortcode parameters (and there are a lot here), would be correctly interpreted ?

Here is the shortcode I use, if you can deduce anything from it:

[recent_post_carousel design="design-1" category="16" slides_to_show="1" limit="5" show_category_name="false" show_author="false" content_words_limit="38" autoplay=”false” ]

If I might add, a simple request for a future version: could you please include a parameter for show_image=”true/false” ? It would be handy for those like me who don’t want to display the featured image. It’s easy to do with CSS, but this is neater! 🙂

Thanks for your help and reactivity,

Hi Beatrice,

Ok, I tested it on my test site, and I think I found the reason: the color of the caption text must have been set to transparent at some point. I redefined all the colors, and then it appeared!

So now the “caption” field works as it should on the thumbnail, but it still doesn’t appear in the lightbox. I don’t want to use the “title” field, because then I have the tooltip that I can’t get rid of…

Is there a way to make the caption show in the lightbox ? I didn’t find any setting for it. Or else a way to get rid of the tooltip, so I can use the Title for the Lightbox ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ashley 😊,

Thanks a lot for the super quick response. Your plugin is really the best and more flexible archive one out there, and believe me I’ve looked!
Unfortunately the filter doesn’t seem to work. I tried different variations of the code in functions.php (which has other stuff that works), and I settled on what seems the most correct syntax to me:

add_filter('expanding_archives_get_posts', 'exclude_cat_archive');

function exclude_cat_archive(array $args) {
	 $args['category__not_in'] = 2; // Replace with ID of your category.

return $args;
} 

Any ideas ? FYI the opposite doesn’t work either, to ONLY display the given category, with category__in.

But in your examples for displaying just one category, you put 2 filters and some additional code. Am I missing something ?

Thanks for your help,

Roger
