Post Types Tab

Choose how you would like to sort posts. You have the following options

Order By

• Title
• Date
• Random
• Meta Value Number
• Meta Value

If you choose either of the meta value options, an extra text box will appear (Meta Key).

Type the slug of the meta key you would like to sort by.

Order

You can sort in ascending or descending order.

After the above options you should see a list of your Custom Post Types with On/Off Switches. If you do not see any please make sure you have created a custom post type or contact Coded for help.

Once you’ve turned one of your post types on, you will see the taxonomies for the particular post type with the associated terms of each taxonomy with checkboxes.

By ticking these checkboxes you are selecting the post types to display.

 

 

Layout

You have two choices for layout. Grid or Full width

By default, grid is selected. If using grid, you will see the following option.

Grid Columns

Choose the amount of columns you want to use to display your posts. Also, make sure to set these for tablet and mobile.

If you instead use full width, you will be presented with the following option.

Full width columns

You can choose to display the content of each post in either 1 or two columns.

If you choose 2 columns, you will be able to choose which side a particular element goes on. For example, you can have the post title on the left and the featured image on the right.

 

 

Pagination

This section lets you control pagination for your post types. If you are unfamiliar with pagination, it gives you the ability to create a number of pages to display your posts. For example, you may have 12 posts to display but think that they take up too much room. So, instead, you could use pagination to display 4 posts per page. You would then see at the bottom clickable numbers which lets the user navigate between pages.

Show Pagination

If you choose to turn pagination off, you will get the following options.

Post Offset Number

This lets you offset your posts by which ever number you choose.

Posts Number

The total number of posts to display.

If you choose Yes for show pagination, you will get the following options.

Posts per page

Controls how many posts will be shown per paginated page.

Use Next/Prev Pagination Links

Displays or hides the next and previous buttons for pagination

Use Post Excerpts

If your post type has excerpts enabled (this can be turned on in custom post type ui) then you will be able to write your own excerpts of each post. If you turn this setting on, the plugin will first look to see if a post type has a user defined excerpt and if so use it, else it will create one out of the content.
