Loop title issue

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the customer wanted to trim the text that the [wpv-post-title] shortcode provides.

Solution:

In order to do this it will require some custom shortcode.

// Add Shortcode
function trim_link( $atts ) {
 
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'string' => '',
            'length' => '',
            'url' => '',
        ),
        $atts
    );
 
    if (strlen($atts['string']) > $atts['length']){
        $shortened_text = substr($att['string'], 0, $atts['length']);
        return "<a href='".$atts['url']."'>".$shortened_text."...</a>";
    }else{
        return "<a href='".$atts['url']."'>".$atts['string']."</a>";
    }
     
 
}
add_shortcode( 'trim_link', 'trim_link' );

Add it to your functions.php file and then you can add it to your view by doing this.

[trim_link string='[wpv-post-title]' length='140' url='[wpv-post-url]']

Please try this and let me know if it helps.

Hi Simone,

Would you mind if I grabbed a duplicator package from your website for some more advanced debug and testing ?

I wouldnt want the debug information to be showing on your live site.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

I don't remember if I send something for this problem but recently I sent to Toolset a duplicator package for sure

Hi Simone,

So the problem eventually came down to it being an issue with the category its Branca E/G category.

What you can do is to recreate it like I did on the test site and it started working.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi
I create e new category and assigned the 15 posts to it.
Then I deleted the bugged old category.
Then I set the new one as parent of two others of them.
Then I refreshed and... worse than before! Now 2 posts missing 🙁

Hi Simone,

Did you remember to change the category to primary on those posts ?

That is strange because this works perfectly in my testing on the duplicator. I must apologize for it not working as intended but could you check on these posts if the primary category has been set.

Thanks,
Shane

I forgot that step.

Now I set the primary category.

This post
hidden link
with the brand new Branca E/G set as primary is still not showing

Hi Simone,

One last thing that was different when I got this to work in testing was tthat I didnt use the same slug "eg" i used the slug "bg " when I created my new Branca E/G but this time named it Branca E/G 2. This is strange as I see no reason why your original term does not work.

Thanks,
Shane

		</div>
	</wpv-loop>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->

As you can see you are using rows and columns and our [wpv-item index=1] index shortcode. Now the reason why some of the items are missing is because the conditionals in each of the index are not the same.

What you need to do is to add the same conditionals to each of the index except

[wpv-item index=pad]
			<div class="col-sm-3"></div>
		[wpv-item index=pad-last]
			<div class="col-sm-3"></div>

Once you've done this then it should work fine.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok, well.

Now I add all the conditions to all the indexes but... even 3 posts not showing ?

Hi Simone,

It should be working.

Its because in my testing when I created the new category I had assigned some posts to it. I went in and set those back to their original categories, so it should work fine now.

Thanks,
Shane
