[Support request] Combine Conditions

Sorry that code did not come through right. This is what I’ve tried:

[wp_show_posts id="93" settings="category__and=style&tag__in=homepage"]
[wp_show_posts id="93" settings="category__and=8&tag__in=68"]
[wp_show_posts id="93" settings="category__and=style"]
[wp_show_posts id="93" settings="tag__in=68"]

Is there anywhere I can see what parameters the settings does have?

Any other way you can think of to get this done? Or any estimate on when 1.2 might be coming?

Thanks

Thanks Tom, that worked and I could go forward with that.

However, what I was really hoping to do with the wp_show_posts shortcode was use the Lists more like templates. So I could have 2 Lists (with no taxonomy specified in the dashboard) and then use those over and over, wherever I want in various pages, specifying the categories and tags wherever I use them through the settings. So the templates are always the same and the data is different. I don’t think the function you provided above would allow me to do that, since the category and tag are tied to the List ID. Using that, I think I’d need to create dozens of copies of those same Lists and then dozens of copies of that function to match.

Any clever way you know of to accomplish what I want? Maybe something else I can add to that if statement? Basically just some way I can differentiate each instance of the List, so that I can assign a different category/tag combination to each.

Thank you.

That approach could work, but I’d need to be able to set the class via the shortcode in the editor, and whenever I try to do that, I get a fatal error when I try to save, and then have to go remove that code from the database to fix it. This was my shortcode:

[wp_show_posts id="119" settings="wrapper_class=tag1-cat1"]

I kept playing with and found a clunky workaround, using a field that I’m not otherwise using:

[wp_show_posts id="119" settings="read_more_text=tag1-cat1"]

I’d have to then hide that Read More button with CSS, but its doable. I can then do this:

add_filter( 'wp_show_posts_shortcode_args', function( $args, $settings ) {
    if ( 'tag1-cat1' === $settings['read_more_text'] ) {
        $args['category__and'] = 8;
        $args['tag__in'] = 68;
    } elseif ( 'tag1-cat2' === $settings['read_more_text'] ) {
        $args['category__and'] = 8;
        $args['tag__in'] = 25;
    } elseif ( 'tag2-cat1' === $settings['read_more_text'] ) {
        $args['category__and'] = 10;
        $args['tag__in'] = 28;
    }
    // etc.

    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

Again, very clunky, but at least this gets me to a place where I don’t need to create dozens of Lists. Any better way you know of to do this now that you can see what I’m trying to accomplish?

Yes I’ll be using each List format in maybe 20-30 places (multiple times on the homepage plus multiple on every category page).

It’s not a huge amount up front but if I ever want to make changes across all lists, I’ll have to do it to each and every one. For example if I want them all to change to card style or show 4 posts instead of 3, etc.

Seems like it makes more sense just to share 2 listS (one for each format I need).

Or maybe I’m trying to make this plugin do something it’s not meant for and I should use a different one. I’m just using GP so though I’d stay in this ecosystem.

The main difference is just the category and tags to pull from.

So I’d have a bunch of lists that are identical other than the category and tags. Then I’d have a bunch more that are almost the same as the first set but a different format (for example card instead of row) and would pull from other categories and tags.

No two lists would pull from the same category and tag.

So in the situation above we’d ideally have two Lists (one for each format) as opposed to 20 or more.
