Latest posts duplicate

Hello Elin,

Sorry I’ve moved to another country so I’m trying to set things up around here. When you use multiple instances you must set a different instance name for each shortcode, otherwise it will happen just that, both elements will change pages because the jQuery script won’t be capable of distinguish one of the other.

Add the instance name to each shortcode like this:

[nlposts title="My latest travel posts"
        title_only=false
        thumbnail=true
        auto_excerpt=true
        display_type=block
        full_meta=true
        number_posts=2
        thumbnail_wh=300x200
        thumbnail_class=alignleft
        paginate=true
        posts_per_page=2
        number_posts=6
        blog_id=4
        instance=travel
]

[nlposts title="My latest food posts"
        title_only=false
        thumbnail=true
        auto_excerpt=true
        display_type=block
        full_meta=true
        number_posts=2
        thumbnail_wh=300x200
        thumbnail_class=alignleft
        paginate=true
        posts_per_page=2
        number_posts=6
        blog_id=3
        instance=food
]

If you want your thumbnails to display without any effects, just copy the CSS available here: Default Opacity and save it to your active WordPress theme folder (where style.css is found) then add to each shortcode the css_style parameter, something like this:

If you saved the css using this name: color_thumbs.css for example, then your shortcodes must be set like this:

[nlposts title="My latest travel posts"
        title_only=false
        thumbnail=true
        auto_excerpt=true
        display_type=block
        full_meta=true
        number_posts=2
        thumbnail_wh=300x200
        thumbnail_class=alignleft
        paginate=true
        posts_per_page=2
        number_posts=6
        blog_id=4
        instance=travel
        css_style=color_thumbs
]

[nlposts title="My latest food posts"
        title_only=false
        thumbnail=true
        auto_excerpt=true
        display_type=block
        full_meta=true
        number_posts=2
        thumbnail_wh=300x200
        thumbnail_class=alignleft
        paginate=true
        posts_per_page=2
        number_posts=6
        blog_id=3
        instance=food
        css_style=color_thumbs
]

Try these shortcodes and let me know, I’m guessing those duplicated posts are being displayed because of the missing parameters and some typos in your current shortcodes.

Let me know if it helps.

Hello Elin,

If I understand well, what you want to remove is the “Travel – Published on November 24, 2012 by elin” part right? to do so just delete the full_meta=true parameter from both shortcodes and that’s it. When you set full meta true, meta information is displayed, that way you don’t need to change anything from the CSS file.

Best regards.
