Category IDs are shown in WPYog News \u2192 Categories.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20mix%20wpyog%20news%20with%20other%20post%20types%20%28like%20posts%20or%20woocommerce%20products%29%20in%20one%20layout%3F\"><h3>Can I mix WPYog News with other post types (like Posts or WooCommerce Products) in one layout?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Add the <code>post_type<\/code> attribute with a comma-separated list of post type slugs, e.g. <code>[wpyog_news post_type=\"wpyog_news,post,product\" layout=\"carousel\"]<\/code>. Only the fields shared across all post types \u2014 title, excerpt, featured image, and date \u2014 are shown. External URL and Source Details still display for <code>wpyog_news<\/code> items but are simply skipped for other post types. The Shortcode Generator and Gutenberg block both include a Post Types checklist for this.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"i%20want%20to%20mix%20content%20from%20different%20post%20types%20but%20only%20show%20a%20hand-picked%20selection%2C%20not%20everything%20in%20a%20category%20%E2%80%94%20how%3F\"><h3>I want to mix content from different post types but only show a hand-picked selection, not everything in a category \u2014 how?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Two ways, depending on whether the selection is a one-off or something you'll keep adding to:<\/p>\n\n<p>For a one-off selection, use the <code>ids<\/code> attribute. It takes a comma-separated list of post IDs and works across any mix of post types since it doesn't rely on a shared taxonomy: <code>[wpyog_news post_type=\"wpyog_news,post,product\" ids=\"12,45,78\"]<\/code>. Posts show in the exact order you list the IDs. Find a post's ID from its edit-screen URL (<code>post.php?post=123<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n<p>For a selection you'll keep adding to over time, use a Collection instead \u2014 it's repeatable, so you never have to edit the shortcode again. Open any post (News, a Blog Post, a Product, any post type) and in its Collections box, tick the checkbox for the collection you want (or click \"+ Add New Collection\" to create one, e.g. \"Homepage Picks\"). Tick the same collection on posts from other post types too, then show them all with <code>[wpyog_news post_type=\"wpyog_news,post,product\" collection=\"homepage-picks\"]<\/code>. New posts checked into the collection later appear automatically \u2014 no shortcode edits.<\/p>\n\n<p>Both the Shortcode Generator and the Gutenberg block have fields for <code>ids<\/code> and <code>collection<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20the%20plugin%20mobile%20responsive%3F\"><h3>Is the plugin mobile responsive?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. All layouts are optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The News Ticker automatically adjusts its label and font size on small screens.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20wpyog%20news%20work%20with%20elementor%3F\"><h3>Does WPYog News work with Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. WPYog News includes full Elementor Theme Builder support \u2014 News posts appear as conditions in the Theme Builder so you can build custom single post templates. A native Gutenberg block is also included.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20coding%20knowledge%20required%3F\"><h3>Is coding knowledge required?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. The plugin is designed for easy management directly from the WordPress dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"how%20do%20external%20links%20work%3F\"><h3>How do external links work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>When editing a news item, add a URL in the External Link field. The news title and Read More button will then link to that external URL (opens in a new tab) instead of the internal news page. External links also work in the News Ticker.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20the%20card%20layout%20support%20pagination%3F\"><h3>Does the card layout support pagination?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The card layout uses a Load More button via AJAX instead of traditional pagination.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20show%20a%20counter%20in%20the%20news%20ticker%3F\"><h3>Can I show a counter in the News Ticker?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Add <code>show_count=\"true\"<\/code> to <code>[wpyog_ticker]<\/code> to display a \"3 \/ 10\" badge on the right side of the ticker. This works with <code>fade<\/code> and <code>flap<\/code> animation modes.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.4.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Carousel infinite loop now wraps correctly \u2014 after the last slide, the first slide slides in from the right and continues in the same direction, instead of reversing back to slide 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.4.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Changed: Collections now use the same checkbox-list meta box as Categories (with a \"+ Add New Collection\" toggle to create one inline), instead of the type-to-search tag-style box. Tick a box on any post to add it to a collection \u2014 no searching for the existing collection name required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.4.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Collections \u2014 a new <code>wpyog_collection<\/code> taxonomy shared across every public post type, used to build a repeatable curated group of posts spanning any mix of post types. Tag posts from their normal edit screen (like adding a tag) and pull them all into a layout with the new <code>collection<\/code> attribute \u2014 no editing the shortcode as the collection grows.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Collection dropdown in the Shortcode Generator (with a helpful empty state until the first collection is created) and a Collection control in the Gutenberg block's Query panel.<\/li>\n<li>Added: \"Build a Repeatable Curated Collection\" step and a Manage Collections link on the Getting Started admin page.<\/li>\n<li>Changed: Post type list logic for the checklist\/dropdowns is now shared via one helper function, so the mixable and taggable post type lists always stay in sync.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.3.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: <code>ids<\/code> attribute \u2014 hand-pick exact posts to display, across any mix of post types, without needing a shared category\/taxonomy. Comma-separated post IDs, e.g. <code>ids=\"12,45,78\"<\/code>; overrides <code>limit<\/code>, <code>category<\/code>, and pagination, and preserves the listed order. Available in the shortcode, the Shortcode Generator (Specific Post IDs field), and the Gutenberg block (Advanced panel).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.3.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Mix multiple post types into one <code>[wpyog_news]<\/code> layout via the new <code>post_type<\/code> attribute (comma-separated CPT slugs) \u2014 e.g. combine WPYog News with Posts, WooCommerce Products, or any custom post type in the same List, Card, or Carousel display. Only shared fields (title, excerpt, featured image, date) are used for mixed items; WPYog-News-specific fields (External URL, Source Details) are skipped gracefully for other post types.<\/li>\n<li>Added: <code>taxonomy<\/code> attribute \u2014 lets the <code>category<\/code> filter target a different taxonomy when mixing post types that share one (e.g. <code>category<\/code>).<\/li>\n<li>Added: <code>show_type<\/code> attribute \u2014 shows a small badge with each item's post type label, useful for telling sources apart in a mixed feed.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Post Types checklist in the Shortcode Generator admin page and the Gutenberg block Inspector controls.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Load More (card layout) now correctly carries the selected post types, taxonomy, and badge setting across AJAX pages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Carousel's last card still clipped on the right when <code>gap<\/code> was greater than 0 (confirmed via live testing \u2014 cutting disappeared at <code>gap=\"0\"<\/code>). Real root cause: carousel items use <code>flex-shrink: 0<\/code> (they're meant to stay a fixed size), so they never shrink to make room for the track's <code>gap<\/code> \u2014 a plain percentage flex-basis (e.g. 3 items at 33.3333%) already fills the row, and the gap on top of that always overflows by exactly (number of gaps \u00d7 gap width), which is what was being clipped. Fixed by computing each slide's width with <code>calc((100% - (n-1) \u00d7 gap) \/ n)<\/code> instead of a flat percentage, so the gap is subtracted before dividing. Gap now works at any value without cutting off the last slide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Carousel's last visible card was being clipped on the right (confirmed on the live demo at slides_to_show=\"3\"). Root cause: the 1.2.2 card margin (<code>20px 6px<\/code>) added horizontal margin on top of flex-basis percentages that already summed to 100% of the row \u2014 the extra margin pushed the row wider than the viewport, and the viewport's overflow:hidden sliced off the overflow. Fixed by making the card margin vertical-only (<code>20px 0<\/code>); horizontal spacing between slides is handled by the track's <code>gap<\/code> instead, which browsers correctly account for when sizing flex-basis so it can't overflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Card grid's rightmost column could get clipped\/overflow in narrower theme layouts (e.g. with a sidebar) when a title or image forced a column past its share of the row \u2014 grid\/flex items now correctly allow shrinking (<code>min-width: 0<\/code>), and long titles\/excerpts wrap instead of forcing overflow.<\/li>\n<li>Changed: Card and Carousel layouts now go straight to a single column\/slide at tablet width (\u2264900px \/ \u2264768px) instead of an intermediate 2-column step, so mobile visitors see one full-width card at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Carousel prev\/next arrows and dots no longer inherit theme button styling \u2014 colours, borders, and shape are now pinned by the plugin so dots render fully circular on every theme.<\/li>\n<li>Added: <code>arrows_on_hover<\/code> carousel attribute \u2014 arrows stay hidden until the carousel is hovered (desktop only; always visible on touch devices).<\/li>\n<li>Changed: Removed the card hover-lift (translateY) effect specifically for Carousel items \u2014 it looked glitchy next to neighbouring slides in a moving track. Card grid layout keeps the lift.<\/li>\n<li>Changed: Carousel cards now get their own <code>20px 6px<\/code> margin for breathing room between and around slides.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: <code>.wpyog-card-no-thumb<\/code> height now matches the real thumbnail height (210px, was 160px), so cards with and without a featured image line up evenly \u2014 affects Card grid and Carousel.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: Carousel slide-position math now measures real rendered spacing between slides instead of parsing CSS gap, so it stays accurate with the new card margins and any future spacing tweaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: New Carousel layout for <code>[wpyog_news]<\/code> \u2014 <code>layout=\"carousel\"<\/code>. A sliding row of news cards with autoplay, prev\/next arrows, dot navigation, infinite loop, slide or fade transition, touch swipe support, and responsive slides-to-show.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Carousel attributes \u2014 <code>slides_to_show<\/code>, <code>autoplay<\/code>, <code>autoplay_speed<\/code>, <code>infinite<\/code>, <code>arrows<\/code>, <code>dots<\/code>, <code>pause_on_hover<\/code>, <code>transition<\/code>, <code>gap<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Carousel option to the Shortcode Generator admin page with live-updating preview.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Carousel support in the native Gutenberg block, including Inspector controls for all carousel options.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Lightweight vanilla-JS carousel engine (no external slider library, no jQuery dependency) respecting <code>prefers-reduced-motion<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Screenshots and banner updated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Improved: Replaced the experimental split-flap animation with a reliable push-up slide for the <code>flap<\/code> animation mode \u2014 current headline slides out upward while the next headline slides in from below, clipped cleanly by the ticker viewport. Works consistently across all browsers.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Admin shortcode generator attribute table header text colour now displays correctly in all WordPress admin themes.<\/li>\n<li>Updated: <code>.wpyog-card-cats a<\/code> category pill padding updated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: <code>show_label<\/code> attribute \u2014 set <code>show_label=\"false\"<\/code> to hide the label chip entirely.<\/li>\n<li>Added: <code>show_count<\/code> attribute \u2014 set <code>show_count=\"true\"<\/code> to display a post counter (e.g. 3 \/ 10) on the right side of the ticker. Applies to <code>fade<\/code> and <code>flap<\/code> animation modes.<\/li>\n<li>Added: <code>[wpyog_news_ticker]<\/code> shortcode alias \u2014 both <code>[wpyog_ticker]<\/code> and <code>[wpyog_news_ticker]<\/code> work identically.<\/li>\n<li>Added: News Ticker tab to the Shortcode Generator admin page with live preview, colour pickers for label background and text, and controls for all ticker options.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: Ticker responsive styles \u2014 label shrinks gracefully on mobile, date hides on very small screens.<\/li>\n<li>Changed: <code>show_date<\/code> now defaults to <code>true<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: News Ticker \u2014 use <code>[wpyog_ticker]<\/code> to display animated news headlines anywhere on your site. Three animation styles: <code>scroll<\/code> (continuous horizontal ticker tape), <code>fade<\/code> (cross-fade), and <code>flap<\/code> (animated slide).<\/li>\n<li>Added: Ticker label chip with custom background and text colour.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Pause-on-hover for all ticker animation modes.<\/li>\n<li>Added: <code>prefers-reduced-motion<\/code> accessibility support \u2014 ticker pauses automatically for users who prefer reduced motion.<\/li>\n<li>Added: External URL support in the ticker \u2014 items with an external link open in a new tab.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Elementor Pro Theme Builder templates now correctly override single News post pages. Fix: when Elementor Pro is active the plugin's <code>single_template<\/code> filter is removed, allowing Elementor Pro's <code>template_include<\/code> hook to take over cleanly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: WPYog News post type is now automatically added to Elementor Pro's supported post types \u2014 no manual configuration needed in Elementor \u2192 Settings \u2192 Integrations.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Post type label corrected from \"News Item\" to \"WPYog News\" \u2014 fixes the section header in Elementor Theme Builder's condition picker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.9<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Elementor integration timing bug \u2014 hooks now register correctly when Elementor loads before WPYog News.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.8<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Critical PHP error introduced in 1.0.7 \u2014 unsafe Elementor Pro class call replaced with a safe implementation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.7<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Full Elementor Theme Builder support \u2014 News posts and News Category archives appear as selectable conditions in Theme Builder.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Elementor integration class for registering the News post type and taxonomy with Elementor's internal helpers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.6<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Single news post template now has a max-width of 900px and a centred featured image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Updated: Category pill padding and admin table header styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Contributor username, pagination escaping, and admin nonce handling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: i18n translators comments, deprecated function calls, and missing <code>wp_unslash()<\/code> calls.<\/li>\n<li>Updated: Tested up to WordPress 6.9. Added translation template (.pot file).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Previous\/Next navigation on single news pages when posts have no category assigned.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: CSS updates for title, excerpt, and pagination styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Admin sidebar icon, Load More AJAX, and post\/category slugs.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Previous\/Next navigation on single news detail pages.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: Modern card and list CSS \u2014 hover effects, image zoom, category pills, indigo Read More button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Create modern news sections, announcements, and article showcases with List, Card, Carousel, and Ticker displays \u2014 all without coding.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/316400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316400"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/wpyog"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=316400"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=316400"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=316400"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=316400"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cl.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=316400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
