“Style1” shows 4 columns of posts at a time, “style2” shows nothing at all, but I want to show 1 post at a time with the same ability to navigate through them as style1.

You need to use the following shortcode for the blog to show only 1 post

[blog cat="blog,demo" limit="1" pagination="false" postmeta="true"]

That only shows one post with non-working navigation. I need it to show one post at a time with working navigation.

I understood that you are looking for carousel with 1 item list with scroll, but isn’t there in the theme. I will see the code tomorrow and let you about where to edit the code.

Hi Maqk,
Are you still looking into a solution for me?

We have checked with the current design its not possible to have 1 column carousel. It will work but still it will not be 100% perfect.

Regarding the style2 is not display anything becoz style2 will display only posts that has post thumbnail (Featured Thumbnail)

FYI the carousel_blog.php has this line:
$args = array ( 'cat' => $cat, 'paged' => $paged, 'posts_per_page' => $limit);

but the shortcode editor is sending in the category’s slug, not the ID, as ‘cat’ calls for.

I changed that line to this just to make it work, but ideally the shortcode editor would send in the ID’s.
$args = array ( 'category_name' => $cat, 'paged' => $paged, 'posts_per_page' => $limit);

Also, it should allow ‘exclusions’ of categories the same way.

To change the number of visible items, I just changed the javascript at the top of this file:
From
var visibleItems = (win_width > 767 ? 4 : 1);
to
var visibleItems = (win_width > 767 ? 1 : 1);

Same with the other similar line: from
scroll: (jQuery(window).width() > 767 ? 4 : 1),
to
scroll: (jQuery(window).width() > 767 ? 1 : 1),

It does what I needed it to do now.

While I’m at it, this is really annoying: “0 COMMENT” is written on the top of every post I have, but comments are disabled on the site through HOSTMEv2’s settings. Not only are they disabled, but the proper way to say that in English is “0 COMMENTS”, so it looks like it was designed by a foreigner FYI.

I cracked open atp_generator.php and changed

// P O S T M E T A D A T A
//——————————————————–
function postmetaStyle() {
global $format;
ob_start();
$out = ‘<div class=”post-metadata”>’;
echo ‘<span>’;
the_time(“M j, Y”);
echo ‘</span><span>’;
the_author_posts_link();
echo ‘</span><span>’;
the_category(‘, ‘) ;
echo ‘</span><span>’;
comments_popup_link( __( ‘0 Comment’, ‘THEME_FRONT_SITE’ ), __( ‘1 Comment’, ‘THEME_FRONT_SITE’ ), __( ‘% Comments’, ‘THEME_FRONT_SITE’ ) );
echo ‘</span>’;
$out .= ob_get_clean();
$out .= ‘</div>’;
return $out;;
}

to
// P O S T M E T A D A T A
//——————————————————–
function postmetaStyle() {
global $format;
ob_start();
$out = ‘<div class=”post-metadata”>’;
echo ‘<span>’;
the_time(“M j, Y”);
echo ‘</span><span>’;
the_author_posts_link();
echo ‘</span><span>’;
the_category(‘, ‘) ;
echo ‘</span>’;
if ( get_option( ‘atp_commentstemplate’ ) == “posts” || get_option( ‘atp_commentstemplate’ ) == “both” ):
echo ‘<span>’;
comments_popup_link( __( ‘0 Comments’, ‘THEME_FRONT_SITE’ ), __( ‘1 Comment’, ‘THEME_FRONT_SITE’ ), __( ‘% Comments’, ‘THEME_FRONT_SITE’ ) );
echo ‘</span>’;
endif;
$out .= ob_get_clean();
$out .= ‘</div>’;
return $out;;
}

so if the option is set to disable comments, it won’t show that junk.
