Plugin / List category posts

Changelog

0.81

• Adds “” to the “…” in pagination.
• Adds ‘current_user’ as an option to the author_posts parameter to list posts from logged in user.

0.80.3

• Hopefully final bugfix from alt in thumbnails 🤦🏻

0.80.2

• Bugfix release: With 0.80, using the post title as alt attribute in thumbnails made a change to use get_the_post_thumbnail_url. But thanks to a post in the support forum, I noticed we lost some of the sizing functionality in get_the_post_thumbnail. So this version goes back to using get_the_post_thumbnail but keeping the new alt attribute for thumbnails.

0.80.1

• Bugfix release: fix for featured image link to full post not working. Thanks Werner!

0.80

• Use post title as alt attribute in thumbnails. Thanks @arcticmouse!
• Dynamic pagination paddin. Thanks @zymeth25! More info: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/wiki/Pagination#pagination-padding
• Bugfix current category for posts displayed in the loop. Thanks @zymeth25! More info: https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/pull/363
• Added “private” text next to a post’s title when it’s private, thanks to a suggestion by @cmccrone in the support forums. The text is published with the following html: <span class="lcp_private"> private</span>, so you can customize the CSS (hide it, change its color, etc.).

0.79

• Requires PHP >= 5.4
• categorypage now suppports yes for all post’s categories with OR relationship, all for AND relationship and other to get all categories except current categories (with OR relationship) (thanks @zymeth25! 🎉)
• Possibly one of the last versions before 1.0.
• Fixes in current category (thanks @zymeth25! 🎉)
• Added link to Klemens’ GUI.

0.78.1

• Refactor in widget parameters by @zymeth25, all widget related issues with missing parameters will be gone for good.

0.78

• Adds before=today, when you use it the plugin will get today’s date dynamically and display only old posts. Thanks @nnasirzada for the PR implementing this!
• Changes in pagination: You can now have no anchor links in the pagination. Check the wiki for more info. Thanks @zymeth25 for this feature! If you’re using the lcp_page_link somewhere or customized the lcp-paginator.php file somehow, watch out because we refactored this function. Also, let us know what you changed to see if we can incorporate it in the core plugin 🙂

0.77.1

• Bug fix by @zymeth25: In some rare cases wp_reset_query fails to reset global $post to its initial value. This manual reset ensures the plugin leaves the main query in a clean state regardless of circumstances. Fixes https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-plugin-has-a-crazy-bug-conflict-with-elementor/#post-10145793 and https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/issues/320.

0.77

• Removed hardcoded wp_ as table prefix and replaced with $wpdb->prefix to allow for WordPress database tables which are setup to use more secure prefixes by @djadan.

0.74.2

• Add pagination function for templates.

0.74.1

0.74

• Adds “next” and “previous” classes to the previous and next buttons in pagination menu. The classes are lcp_prevlink and lcp_nextlink. Thanks @zymeth25.
• Adds pagination to Widget.

0.73.2

• Bug fix release: [catlist categorypage="yes"] had stopped working with WordPress 4.9. This is because the category check would compare a return value against the “Empty Term” translation key which was changed in this commit adding periods at the end of some error messages. So it was just a matter of adding the period in the if condition. Thanks helmutka for reporting this!

0.73.1

• Adds a new tutorial in the docs, check it out!
• Fixes a bug where customfield_value wouldn’t work if a custom field’s value = 0
• Adds tag/class html customization refactor to excerpt to behave as expected:
  • If you provide excerpt_tag but not excerpt_class, excerpt will be wrapped with given tag.
  • If you provide excerpt_tag and excerpt_class, excerpt will be wrapped with provided tag and given class.
  • If you provide excerpt_class but not excerpt_tag, excerpt will be wrapped with a span and the given class.
• Fixes an error notice when widget is displayed for “current category” on post without category – Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /include/lcp-category.php on line 69

0.71.1

• Fixes “Undefined index: tags_as_class”. Thanks @vacuus for the Pull Request! 🙂

• Adds Alt Tag to thumbnail
• Handle child_categories flag correctly – https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/pull/185
• Adds a default value to numberposts on plugin activation – https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-Posts/pull/193

• Orders the README a bit.
• Issues with tags when using more than one tag for OR and AND relationships should be fixed.
• Documented the use of custom taxonomies. For some reason I never came around to do that. I changed the parameters for taxonomies, it used the ‘tags’ parameter for ‘terms’ before, so I added a ‘terms’ parameter to make this independent from the tags parameter. So now it looks like this: [catlist taxonomy='person' terms='bob']. This might break some current uses of taxonomy, but since it was written so long ago and I don’t know why it used “tags”, I decided to just create the ‘terms’ parameter. People using the custom taxonomies were people who are looking at the code anyway since I can’t find it documented anywhere. Sorry for the inconveniences!
• Adds category description parameter.
• Adds orderby and order to options page. Removes default values since they’re the default anyway.

0.65

• Adds pagination parameter to the options page.
