Avada recent post

[Mathias]

Hello,
I am trying to have the Avada recent post shortcode display my events:

[recent_posts layout=”thumbnails-on-side” columns=”4″ number_posts=”8″ cat_slug=”tribe_events” exclude_cats=”” thumbnail=”yes” title=”yes” meta=”yes” excerpt=”yes” excerpt_words=”20″ strip_html=”yes” animation_type=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_speed=”1″ class=”” id=””][/recent_posts]

but it is only displaying my posts…. Is this something you can help with?

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out a little, but there is not much we can do to support this.

To make it work you would have to find a filter or hook to include the custom post type, that would have to be provided by Avada:

tribe_events

Also, I see you have this in the shortcode:

cat_slug=”tribe_events”

I am afraid that is for post categories and not for the custom post type.

The Events Calendar uses its own custom taxonomy:

tribe_events_cat

Again that maybe able to be added to the shortcode, but would have to be provide on Avada’s side.

Event Rocket
You could try the Event Rocket:

Event Rocket

It does have shortcodes to display lists of events and our widgets.

It is an unofficial plugin, but updated by some of our developers.

That maybe a better option then modifying the shortcode from Avada.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Great! the event rocket plugin is exactly what I was looking for. Any tips for the CSS? – I am looking to force post text and title under the image (https://candibarboston.com/) while retaining responsivness.

Great that that helps. We are working to add some of the shortcodes from that plugin into our next release as well.

As for the css, it is hard to say without really digging into the coding how to get it to work right. I would recommend using a Developer tools like Firebug or built in developer tools in a browser to see how the css is interacting to get it right. Looks like it might take some trial and error to get it as you would like.

I am going to go ahead and close this ticket, but if you need any other on something else please post a new ticket.

Thanks!
