To add Featured image to your post, please edit the post.

The Featured Image meta box will be visible on the appropriate content item’s Edit screens. If a user is unable to see it, they can enable it in their Screen Options panel.

By default, the Featured Image meta box is displayed in the sidebar of the Edit Post and Edit Page screens.

Click on “Set featured image” then choose the image that you want.

Finally, click Publish or Update to save the featured image for the post/page.

+ If you are using our shortcode, each View shortcode has this format [pt_view id="12345abcde"]

• By default, Content Views will look for the featured image.
• If nothing found, Content Views will display a default image (how to replace default image by your image).

With Content Views Pro, you can show featured image, image/video/audio in post content, image custom field as thumbnail. Here is how it works:

• By default, Content Views Pro (CVP) will look for the featured image.
• If no featured image found (or if you select option to force replacing featured image), CVP will look for image/video/audio URL in post content (how to insert image/video/audio URL).
  If one of these things found, it will be shown as thumbnail.
• You also can select an image custom field to show (read document).
• If nothing found, CVP will display a default image (how to replace default image by your image).

Best regards,

Show manual excerpt

Then you can show the manual excerpt with Content Views easily:

Notices

The manual excerpt is not enabled for Page by default. To enable manual excerpt for Page, please add this code to file functions.php in the theme’s folder:

/**
 * Enables the Excerpt meta box in Page edit screen.
 */
add_action( 'init', 'cvp_theme_add_excerpt_support_for_pages' );
function cvp_theme_add_excerpt_support_for_pages() {
	add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );
}

Thank you,

To make it work, just paste the url (of video/audio) to post content, like this

Best regards,

Step 1: Create a View to query the WordPress posts you want to display in Sidebar.

Step 2: In WordPress Admin menu, click Appearance > Widgets. In the Widgets page:

• drag and drop a Text widget to your Sidebar
• paste the View shortcode to the content area of the Text widget

Finally, click the Save button.

With 2 above steps, you will have a beautiful posts grid in your WordPress Sidebar.

If you want to display multiple Views in tabs, please paste this HTML (click here) to the content area of the Text widget, then insert the View shortcodes there.

# Display a term above posts list

Let’s add new View to start. Here are some simple steps to do:

• Enable the Taxonomy (Categories, Tags…) in Filter Settings >> Advance
• Select the taxonomy you want to use, for example: Category
• Select the term (a category, a tag…) you want to show as heading, above the posts list
• Select the option Show (first) term as heading of output for the “Output modification” setting

# Display many terms above their posts list

If you want to display multiple categories, tags… above their posts list like this:

Category #1
     post A, B, C, ...

Category #2
     post O, P, Q, ...

Category #3
     post X, Y, Z, ...

Here are 2 simple steps:

• Create a View for a category (with above instruction).
• Reuse this view to show other terms above their posts.

  For each category, please use following shortcodes:
  [pt_view id=VIEWID cat=CATEGORY_SLUG]
  (replace VIEWID with ID of the View which you’ve created).

  For each tag, please use this shortcode format:
  [pt_view id=VIEWID tag=TAG1_SLUG]

  For each custom taxonomy, please use this shortcode format:
  [pt_view id=VIEWID taxonomy="TAXONOMY_SLUG" terms="TERM_SLUG"]

  To find TAXONOMY_SLUG and TERM_SLUG, please open the Taxonomy page, you will find TAXONOMY_SLUG in the URL, and TERM_SLUG in the Slug column:

  

# Show the “View all” link beside the category name

Please add this code to Custom JS field (the right textarea) in Content Views >> Settings page:

$('.pt-cv-term-heading a').each(function(){
$(this).html($(this).html() + '<span style="float:right">View all</span>');
});

Thank you,

• select the For each term, show this number of posts checkbox under Filter Settings tab >> Filter by Taxonomy
• enter the number of posts to show for each term

By using this feature, posts will be shown in the categories order. For example, you select categories as above: Audio, Content, Quote. It will show 3 posts of Audio first, then 3 posts of Content, and 3 posts of Quote last.

Best regards,

• enable “Social Sharing” in the “Display Settings” tab of the View
  
• add this code to file functions.php of your active theme:

  // Content Views Pro - Add new social buttons
  add_filter( 'pt_cv_social_links', 'cvp_theme_social_links', 100, 3 );
  function cvp_theme_social_links( $buttons_html, $url, $title ) {
  	### whatsapp ###
  	$social_link	 = sprintf( 'whatsapp://send?text=%s', $url );
  	$buttons_html[]	 = sprintf( '<a href="%s" class="%s" target="_blank"></a>', $social_link, esc_attr( 'pt-cv-social-whatsapp' ) );
  
  	### tumblr ###
  	$social_link	 = sprintf( 'http://www.tumblr.com/share/link?url=%s', $url );
  	$buttons_html[]	 = sprintf( '<a href="%s" class="%s" target="_blank"></a>', $social_link, esc_attr( 'pt-cv-social-tumblr' ) );

  	$buttons_html[]	 = sprintf( '<a href="%s" class="%s" target="_blank"></a>', $social_link, esc_attr( 'pt-cv-social-parler' ) );
  
  	### email ###
  	$email_link	 = sprintf( 'mailto:?subject=%s&body=%s', 'Hello, check this post', str_replace( array( ' ', '+' ), '%20', $title ) . ": $url" );
  	$buttons_html[]	 = sprintf( '<a href="%s" class="%s" target="_blank"></a>', $email_link, esc_attr( 'pt-cv-social-email' ) );
  
  	return $buttons_html;
  }
