I’d like to focus my website on news articles etc.
So ideally I will make the blog page my homepage.However I’d like to use elements of the default homepage, such as the signup/search box. Also would like to add a slider on top. Is there a way to do that, using shortcodes? I tried adding shortcodes on the ‘blogs’ WordPress page but that does not work. Or do I have to go into the template section?
Hi,
When you set the Blogs page to be the one to show latest articles from Settings -> Reading it will ignore the content you are writing so you should modify the existing Home page if you want elements from that one . You want to list the posts just like in the Blogs page?Hi there!!! Help others from the community and mark any reply as solution if it solved your question. Mark as a solutionYes, ideally I’d like to add blog posts to the homepage, but reduce the amount of ‘promotion’ on the homepage (I know how to remove the shortcodes on the homepage, just not how to show posts there)
Hi,
We created a shortcode that you can use and we will include it also in tomorrow update v1.5.1
Until tomorrow you can add the shortcode snippet to your sweetdate-child/functions.php:

[kleo_articles]Shortcode attributes are the same as for [kleo_posts_carousel] shortcode

If you want to put something next to it you should use the columns shortcode and add the posts shortcode in one column and other content in the next columnHi there!!!

But that won’t be possible using shortcodes, right?
Hi,
You can use this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-or-sidebar-per-shortcodeHi there!!! Help others from the community and mark any reply as solution if it solved your question. Mark as a solutionThat plugin works well! I just had to change their default class in the plugin code to ‘widgets-container sidebar_location’.
One small issue with the articles shortcode:
the date/author/category/comments line, which in Blog has the icon nicely aligned next to its description, is misaligned here – the icon is one line above the text as in this example:
What’s the CSS that should fix this?
OK I fixed it myself, using:
ul.inline-list > li > *, ul.link-list > li > * {
display: inline-block;
}Glad you worked it out,.
