Featured Posts Only Showing On First Page

[dave_s]

I'm tinkering about with Balance and Eleven40 theme on my localhost setup.

I've set featured posts to 6 in home.php and 'Number of Posts to Show' is set to 6 in Genesis settings.

I get 6 featured posts on the home page but on all others they are teasers. It's the same on both Balance and Eleven40. If I switch to MetroTheme it's fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Dave

Is it the category archive pages you're not getting features on?

The code to output the featured items is the following found in home.php of the eleven40 theme.

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'eleven40_grid_loop_helper' );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop */
function eleven40_grid_loop_helper() {
if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 1,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid-thumbnail',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignnone',
'grid_content_limit' => 250,
'more' => __( '[Continue reading]', 'genesis' ),
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}
}

To get this layout on the category pages you'd need to duplicate home.php and rename it category.php so that this code runs on category pages and not just on the homepage.

No, at least I don't think so 🙂

The home page is set to show latest posts

When I scroll down to the bottom of the home page and click on previous all the posts on that page are shown as teasers.

The home.php in Balance shows this:

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'child_grid_loop_helper' );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop **/
function child_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {

genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 6,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_image_class' => 'align none post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid',
'grid_image_class' => 'align none post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( 'Continue reading...', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
) );

}

else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}

The above should read as follows. Couldn't figure out how to set the code tag!!

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'child_grid_loop_helper' );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop **/
function child_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {

genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 6,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_image_class' => 'align none post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid',
'grid_image_class' => 'align none post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( 'Continue reading...', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
) );

}

else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}

It sounds like an issue with the paging. Without being able to look at your site, it's difficult to know what's going on.

The following articles might help you out:

Figured it out... eventually!

Commented out the grid loop function in home.php

Thanks for feeding back Dave, glad you got it sorted.
