Hi Atkantor, you can modify which tiles are loaded where using the filters in the plugin. This does require quite a bit of programming though. If you’re comfortable with php and need some pointers, send me a message through my website and I’ll see how I can help.
Alternatively, you can more easily have static pages show up on fixed places in your Tiles, using this gist: https://gist.github.com/mgmartel/4454318
I don’t know if this is solves your problem.
As for the include and exclude, they refer to individual posts instead of categories.
Thanks for getting back to me. I only need to be really specific for our home page.
I am an ‘also ran’ php programmer, which means I’m just smart enough to understand if I ‘get’ the parameters. Not always sure how to use them once I figure them out.
SO, I’m assuming this will allow me to me to intersperse fixed page tiles within a matrix of category posts. Here’s what I tried:
I put the gist in the functions.php of the child theme. Didn’t break my site which always charms me. In the page that I created I added:
[wp-tiles Template=TGE posts_query=’category=328&fixed_page_tiles=8,4&$page=445,91′]
Tried lots of different variations [no ampersand, move ‘ mark etc. I really do not KNOW what I”m doing. What should we be entering?
Thanks, Tana
