In the comments section of Genesis Sandbox Featured Content Widget's output in a responsive grid with title and excerpt/content on hover tutorial, a user asked:
I was wondering if it was possible to have the post widget always in a normal state ( Image, Title and Excerpt visible) with a hover link over the entire post. I need to create something like this: https://www.norclub.no/ bottom of page.
In this article I show how the default template that comes with Flexible Posts Widget plugin can be modified so that for each of the 3 Posts appearing in a widget area, Featured Image, Title and Excerpt are all set to link to the Post's permalink. We shall add CSS to float each of these three entries side-by-side in columns and add a background color hover effect.
Step 1
Install and activate Flexible Posts Widget.
Step 2
Add the following in child theme's functions.php:
HI Sridhar, love this tutorial and feature so decided to add it to my site using the altitude pro theme.
Everything went well but one thing is a problem, the widget is configured to be at top of page which doesn’t look good at all.
I want to place it under front page 5 widget.
Thanks in advance..
1) In Altitude Pro’s functions.php, add http://pastie.org/pastes/10482878/text.
2) In front-page.php add http://pastie.org/pastes/10482882/text below the code for displaying Front Page 5. Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/yz5P
Other steps remain the same.
Hi Sridhar,
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I was able to implement this following your instructions. However, is there a way to have the posts always from a particular but different categories and tags? For example, from left to right: post always from category A, post always with tag: featured, post always from category B? Do I add a custom query to the home-featured.php file?
Thank you in advance for your help!
