I’m not totally sure but I think it may have something to do with your theme css files being called after the plugin css files. Go into your theme’s header.php file and look for the <?php wp_head(); ?> and make sure that it get’s called after the css files for the theme.

CSS is applied in order from when it’s called so if an anchor is targeted and then targeted again later it overrides the other one.

If that doesn’t fix it you can use the !important tag in the css to override other css. Try adding this to your themes css file

#post-tiles li a {
	color: #ffffff !important;
}
#post-tiles li.featured-image.up a {
	color: #688848 !important;
}
li.featured-image.up h3 {
	color: #2b86aa !important;
	border-bottom: 1px dotted #2b86aa;
}

I updated the plugin and made it so that users could choose the placement of the category key. Top, bottom or both.

Thanks for coming back and position a URL to the solution for others. I appreciate it.

DKH,

ATM there isn’t any built in way to omit the first post without modifying the plugin. I’ll add an omit post option to the possible features list. That seems like a request that might help a number of people.

Saw that this was resolved but for other users who look here the short code needs to be placed in either a post or a page. However if your homepage is the blog page (WordPress Default) you will have to switch the homepage to be a page in your settings. And then find a theme that allows for a page to be displayed before the posts.

Are you referring the Post Tiles category key? The posts themselves order by date. I’d have to look into the order that the key is called. Alphabetical would make the most since I think. From a user standpoint. But that might not always be the case for each site.

Also keep in mind once you update the plugin you’ll have to go back and comment it out again. I thought I had the code check to see if query was already available so it doesn’t cause redundancies. I’ll look into fixing it.

Could you try disabling the trailing slash fixer and replace the following lines of code to see if this solves it for you.

Replace lines 464 – 469.

Current

// If the total of pages is greater than one create the pagination
if ($total_pages > 1){
$current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));
$pagination = paginate_links(array(
'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
'format' => 'page/%#%',

New

// Fix the url leading slash
$url = get_permalink();
$lastchar = substr( $url, -1 );
if ( $lastchar != '/' ){
   $format = "/page/%#%";
} else {
   $format = "page/%#%";
}
// If the total of pages is greater than one create the pagination
if ($total_pages > 1){
   $current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));
   $pagination = paginate_links(array(
   'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
   'format' => $format,

Basically I’m pulling the urls to see if it ends in a / and then serving up the appropriate format in the paginate_links array.
