Oy… I’m way behind on email/support.

The [excerpt] tag has an after_link parameter. You can set this to false to prevent the “after” (which is be default “…”) from becoming a link.

So [excerpt] will give you “…” that links to the post.

[excerpt after="More"] will give you “More” that links to the post.

[excerpt after_link=0] will give you “…” that does not link to the post.

There are similar hooks for both the before and after fields. For those, use either miniloops_before_items_format or miniloops_after_items_format in place of miniloops_item_format

You’re dealing with a CSS issue here.

The <a> around your image needs to be block-level with a width so that the max-width on the image isn’t squished down.

Truthfully, I’m not really sure what you mean by “date icon.”

Do you mean just a very stylized date so that it looks like more of an icon than just text? If so, in Mini Loops you have the option of wrapping the date in as much markup as needed so you can use CSS to style it however you like.

However, CSS support is beyond what I’m able to give at this time, so if you’re looking for how to implement that styling, then you’ll need find someone else.

It’s not a core feature right now, but it is a quick modification. See this code (notice lines 24-25). This is a modification of helpers.php in the plugin.

It’s a good idea, I’ll see about building this into a future release.

I’ve begun adding this to the dev version which you can get here if you want to test it early.

You might be able to use the miniloops_item_format filter. For example, in the item format put a placeholder string, then use that filter to replace the string with whatever you need:

add_filter( 'miniloops_item_format', function( $format ) {
	$string1 = __( 'Some text', 'text-domain');
	$format = str_replace( '###', $string1, $format );
	return $format;
});

Sorry, the Item Format field does not currently support non-Mini Loops shortcodes.
