  Hey, I’m trying to change de thumbnail size on the post grid list, but it’s not working
  I tried changing the default size at the wordpress media settings but nothing happend, so i tried changing the list. php file but that also didn’t work.

  I tried to change the get_the_post_thumbnail(null, ‘medium’) to get_the_post_thumbnail(null, ‘thumbnail’) and get_the_post_thumbnail(null, array(200,200))

  
  <?php if (has_post_thumbnail() )
  echo '’ . get_the_post_thumbnail(null, ‘medium’) . ”;
  ?>

  Can you help me changing it?

  Hello Nicola,

  you can edit the sizes in the .php files by changing default ‘medium’ to ‘thumbnail’, ‘large’ or ‘full’.

  Default WordPress image size settings for them can be changed in Backend > Settings > Media.

  If you want more custom sizes you can use function like this

  // add new image sizes
  add_image_size( 'slider', 950, 537, true );
  add_image_size( 'cta', 755, 300, true );
  add_image_size( 'post-teaser-single', 1535, 866, true );
  add_image_size( 'post-teaser', 364, 273, true );
  add_image_size( 'fb', 1200, 627, true );
  
  // make the new size available in the media library
  add_filter( 'image_size_names_choose', 'my_custom_sizes' );
  

  and replace ‘medium’ with for example ‘post-teaser’ in the .php file.

  It works fine in my case

  Hi Basti! Hope you’re good. I wanted to ask if you can explain to me a way to exclude posts from a certain category on the post list. I want to create a post list with the posts from category “news” but also want to exclude the posts from that category that are also categorized as “highlight”, since those posts are already been showed in a different section of the page.

  Appreciate your efforts and thank you in advance.

  Cheers!

  Hi David,

  this cannot be done in a clean way, because plugin catches posts by category which is set in shortcode. Is post in two categories like news and highlights, of course, plugin will show highlights as well because post is in category news too.

  In this edge case I think I will do that with JavaScript. For example searching for word “highlights“ in the category bagde and if contains, then hide the card or add a class to it and hide it via CSS. Ask Google for that, you will find examples on Stackoverflow like here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27144518/hide-a-div-only-if-it-contains-some-specific-words/27144591

  This code must be placed only on this page. You can use Gutenberg HTML block for that (hmm), create an own page template and paste code in this (better) or wrap JS in a function and assign it only to this page by id (good). Check example how to wrap JS in function here https://bootscore.me/documentation/scrollspy-onepager/

  However, this is just a idea to solve that in a quick and rough way. Much better and sustainable it will be if it‘s possible to separate both categories and combine them in a parent category again.

  Example category structure

  All News
  – News
  – Highlights

  Now you can create 3 shortcodes: all-news will show posts of all news and highlights, news only news and highlights only highlights.

  Just an idea…

  Cheers Basti

  Amazing answer Basti. Thank you so much for your kind attitude and help. I think the cleanest way is the latter you proposed, I have the necessary skills to approach any of the solutions provided, but that one seems to be the simpler and better in terms of functionality.

  Cheers! And keep pounding, your job is great!!!

  Please tell me what is the template for this shortcode?
  [bs-post-grid type=”page” …………. ]
  Where can I edit it?

  Plugin folder templates/grid.php. Edit as described above in the article by creating folder “bs5-post-page-grid-list” in child and paste grid.php direct in this folder.

  Hi Arun,

  there is no pagination in this plugin. It’s just if you want to show some posts or pages somewhere else. You can set number if items in shortcode.

  If you want to use paginated posts, you must set a menu-link in backend to a category. 24 items are displayed by default.

  Hi Basti, awesome work with this plugin. Have you considered a button ‘SHOW MORE’ that uses jQuery and loads dynamically more posts on the grid, eg. the next two lines of six/eight posts ? Cheers!

  Hi Basti, I habe found a problem, if I use this plugin more than one time in an Installation. For example, if I want show Posts to different categories on different sides. The first cards are shown correctly. But starting at different numbers of cards the witdth of cards will be larger. The cards now are placed only in one column, the sidebar is placed under the last card.
  A part of generated source code shows that suddenly the card text gets a stronger tag and som div are not closed.

  I have some screenshots to show that more in detail.
  The effect isalso visible if I use the original template files.
  Thanks.

  Hi Bernd,

  I need a link to your site to check. At first glance it looks like there are missing close tags. But it can be that this tags are missing in your content above or below the cards as well. Try to set up a page and insert only the plugin shortcodes from the broken page.

  Hi Basti, many thanks for your pompt reaction. Following you I had a look on to my data. There are missing closing tags in in some excerpt an content fields, resulting from my programs for the data transfer from Contao to WordPress. Up to nowI hadn’t seen any consequences in other listings.
  But I have made some sdditional tests. I have two identical blocks on a side. The described problems only occure, for order “DESC”.
  Tomorrow I will provide you access to my systems.

  Hi Basti, at the end of the day it is a problem of my data inconsistencies. You and the plugin had helped me to find the problem. If it is possible I want to withdraw my comments.
  Many thanks.

  Is there any way to use more than one post types or taxonomies in the short code, the same way multiple categories are supported?

  Hi Gene,

  it’s not possible to show multiple post types in the same grid. Multiple taxonomies not yet, but this seems to be a logical function. We’ll try to add this feature in next update.

  Hi Gene,

  plugin has been updated to 5.2.0.0. You can use now multiple terms in shortcode for custom post types by slug.
