The “Recent Posts” and “Recent Comments” widgets can be removed from the “Appearance > Widgets” admin area.

The Nooz plugin currently does not support a built-in widget to show “Recent Releases/Coverage”, however you may be able to find 3rd-party widgets and/or plugins to display custom post types (e.g. press releases/coverage).

As for hiding the author, I would suggest using CSS to target and hide that particular content, something like the following should work:

.type-nooz_release .entry-meta { display: none; }

hi @samisaker1987, Nooz is not abandoned … dedicated dev time has been up and down. We do have plans on adding dedicated taxonomies to Nooz (e.g. Category and Tags) which would allow native filtering out-of-the-box in Nooz. Part of this dev has already been completed, but is yet to be fully tested and released.

If you need this functionality immediately, I would recommend adding it yourself, using WordPress functions for creating taxonomies and attaching it to the “nooz_release” and “nooz_coverage” post types.

I don’t have any plugins that I use often which i can recommend … I’ll try to share some code to assist in this when i have a longer moment.

@samisaker1987, the best way to do this would be through CSS.

Additionally you can use the ‘nooz_theme_file’ hook to use your own custom template and styles.

add_filter( 'nooz_theme_file', 'my_nooz_theme_file' );
function my_nooz_theme_file( $file ) {
    return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/template-parts/nooz-theme/theme.php';
}

You can copy + paste the “nooz/themes/outline” theme and use that as a starting point.

We use nooz in our day to day, so we have updates coming.

This feature will be enabled on a future release.

You can use WordPress standard developer API to add tags and categories to Nooz. Keep in mind this is still developer orientated and you will need to write some code to make it work.

Nooz creates two post types “nooz_release” and “nooz_coverage”.

@gregsgraphics, for reference, your client is likely using the FREE version of the plugin as we do not yet sell a PRO version, with that said this is all complimentary support.

What you have identified seems to be a bug/glitch. I will try to resolved this through a new version update.

However in the mean time you can resolve the problem as follows:

1. This is the easiest way to resolve the issue on a post by post basis: By using the “Excerpt” field you can specify a custom excerpt per post, any shortcodes will not be used when using a custom excerpt.

2. This option requires a bit of code, but will apply to all press releases, place the following in your themes “functions.php”:

add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', function( $post_excerpt, $post ) {
	if ( 'nooz_release' == $post->post_type ) $post_excerpt = strip_shortcodes( $post_excerpt );
	return $post_excerpt;
}, 11, 2 );

I would recommend using option #2. Once I am able to update the plugin, the above code will not interfere in any way.

I should have time today to investigate … can you take a screenshot (or copy+paste part) of the template code so that I may have a look.

I am particularly interested in the variable being used on the HREF. Attached is the area I am interested in, except i need to see the template with the actual PHP vars in use:

Adding my notes here in-case anyone else comes across this issue (however please do let me know if you are a new user with the same issue):

A quick work around would be to hide the pagination on the “Latest” tab only, this can be done directly with CSS with the following snippet:

.nooz-posts--nooz_mixed + .nooz-pagination {
    display: none;
}

You can copy + paste this snippet in a “Custom CSS” field while editing the page or by going to “Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS” in the wordpress admin.
