Show Feed Shortcode – Bug? Typo? User?

[Skippy]

I’m attempting to use the [feed] shortcord.

If I do this, it works.

[feed feed='https://drestanol.wordpress.com/feed/' items=3 show_sitename=0 show_content=0 excerpt=1 trusted=1 title_style='']

When I try to add font-size to the title_style all the content on the page under the menu vanishes.

The plus-help file says this:

---

7. title_style=’inline-style-rules’ – Allows you to
   change the styling of the post title. Don’t include the ‘style=’ or
   wrapping quotation marks. Do include a ‘;’ at the end of each rule.
   The output will look like style="your-rules;" – using
   double quotation marks. This is most likely useful to reduce the
   title size (e.g., style='font-size=100%;')

Example

To show the WP Weaver Theme feed in a regular page, use:

[feed feed='http://weavertheme.com/feed/' trusted=1
title_style='font-size:110%;']

---

In one place I’m seeing the format is 

‘font-size:110%;’

in another place I see this

'font-size=100%;'

I have tried both formats and both result in the page being broken.

Things that don't work are:

[feed feed='https://drestanol.wordpress.com/feed/' items=3 show_sitename=0 show_content=0 excerpt=1 trusted=1 title_style='font-size=100%;']

[feed feed='https://drestanol.wordpress.com/feed/' items=3 show_sitename=0 show_content=0 excerpt=1 trusted=1 title_style='font-size:100%;']

What am I missing here?  Thanks.

@Skippy –

Well – that’s all my fault! And you must be the first person to try that! There was a misnamed function from the conversion from Weaver II to Weaver Xtreme, and you were getting PHP error crash.

The proper syntax is title_style=”font-size:120%;”. Shortcodes use = to specify option values.

I will update Weaver Xtreme Plus shortly.

EDIT: The 1.2.2 version should show up in your WP Update notices soon.

Great. Thanks. I’ll be looking for the update.

How complex is it to add displaying featured images to this shortcode?  Would that be possible?

[Weaver]

The content of the [feed] shortcode comes from the content of the feed itself. The content is provided by a standard WordPress core function. The [feed] can just show the feed “description” which is generated by the WordPress core – the excerpt may or may not be really short, so the ‘excerpt’ option forces it to be short.

There also is a feed “content” which may or may not be longer and may or may not include images depending the the Settings : Feed options.

I will add a new option to [feed] that will allow the full content to be displayed, but it can be only an all or nothing thing – either the description/excerpt, or the full content of each post.

If you’d like to try this new ‘full_content=1’ option for the shortcode, send me an e-mail directly (weaver at weavertheme dot com), and I will send you the new version to try.

Sure, I’ll test it out.  I’ll try anything twice.

Thank you.

I’ll email you soonish….
