Generatepress columns on custom query

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can use the private information field.

Let me know :)

Hi,

I give you the details in private field.

I found a temporary solution by making str_replaces on ob_start / ob_get_clean and calling manually the css file in functions.php :

if ( is_front_page() ) {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'generate-blog', plugins_url().'/gp-premium/blog/functions/css/style.min.css' );
  }

Thanks.

I succeeded in "tweaking" the code to make it word as expected.

But the main issue is finally that content (latest posts) is listed as single, not as archive elements :

• titles are h1
• there is no link to the article

Is there a simple way to activate "archive" semantics when calling generate_do_template_part( 'archive' ); ?

Thanks.

I'm not able to see the site even with the change to my hosts file.

This shouldn't be necessary: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/generatepress-columns-on-custom-query/#post-1451711

However, make sure you're using the latest GPP 1.12.0-beta.

Using generate_do_template_part() likely doesn't make sense in this case as you're already using a custom template. Instead, use get_template_part( 'content' ).

Thanks for your answer.

I'm using latest GPP 1.12.0-beta plugin.

both get_template_part('content','post'); and generate_do_template_part( 'archive' ); give exactly the same html output : content with <h1> on titles and no links.

Now my code looks like :

				<?php

				// The Query
    $query_options = array(
                    'post_type' => 'post',
                    'post_status' => 'publish',
                    'posts_per_page' => 6,
                    'order' => 'DESC',
                    'orderby' => 'date'
                    );

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $query_options );

    // The Loop
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :

				while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :

					$the_query -> the_post();

					ob_start();

					get_template_part('content','post');
					// generate_do_template_part( 'archive' );

					echo str_replace(array('<h1','</h1>','" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork"'), array('<a href="'.get_the_permalink(get_the_ID()).'"><h3','</h3></a>',' generate-columns mobile-grid-100 grid-parent grid-50" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork"'), ob_get_clean());

				endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

It should just be get_template_part('content');

That should load the content.php in the parent theme.

You can always copy that file into your child theme and name it differently: content-custom.php

Then you can do this: get_template_part( 'content', 'custom' );

Thanks. Replacing the call with only 'content' didn't change anything.

Looking at content.php template, I see that my issue comes from generate_get_the_title_parameters().

It does generate <h1> and no link where it shoulf be <h2> and link as in archive pages.

How can I hook in generate_get_the_title_parameters() to change behavior when is_front_page() condition is true ?

Thanks.

Got it in theme_functions.php

Need to hook to mimic that behavior on home :

	if ( ! is_singular() ) {
		$params = array(
			'before' => sprintf(
				'<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
				esc_url( get_permalink() ),
				'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
			),
			'after' => '</a></h2>',
		);
	}

Done :

// Display news in archive type on home
add_action( 'generate_get_the_title_parameters','display_h2_on_home' );
function display_h2_on_home($params) {
if(is_front_page()){
  $params = array(
    'before' => sprintf(
      '<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
      esc_url( get_permalink() ),
      'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
    ),
    'after' => '</a></h2>',
  );
}
return $params;
}

Now I just need to add the "generate columns" classes to post_class() : generate-columns tablet-grid-50 mobile-grid-100 grid-parent grid-33 :

add_filter('post_class','generate_columns_classes');
function generate_columns_classes($classes){
  if(is_front_page()){
    $classes[] = 'generate-columns';
    $classes[] = 'mobile-grid-100';
    $classes[] = 'grid-parent';
    $classes[] = 'grid-50';
  }
  return $classes;
}

Last modification I have to make manually : post thumbnails are not clickable.

In featured-images.php you have conditions to add links or not but it's limited to :

// If we're not on any single post/page or the 404 template, we must be showing excerpts.
		if ( ! is_singular() && ! is_404() ) {

How can I easily hook into that to have that same behavior on home ?

			echo apply_filters( // phpcs:ignore
				'generate_featured_image_output',
				sprintf(
					'<div class="post-image">
						%3$s
						<a href="%1$s">
							%2$s
						</a>
					</div>',
					esc_url( get_permalink() ),
					get_the_post_thumbnail(
						get_the_ID(),
						apply_filters( 'generate_page_header_default_size', 'full' ),
						$attrs
					),
					apply_filters( 'generate_inside_featured_image_output', '' )
				)
			);

Thanks.

I suppose you could do something like this:

add_action( 'generate_before_content', function() {
    if ( ! is_front_page() ) {
        return;
    }

    printf( // WPCS: XSS ok.
        '<div class="post-image">
            %3$s
            <a href="%1$s">
                %2$s
            </a>
        </div>',
        esc_url( get_permalink() ),
        get_the_post_thumbnail(
            get_the_ID(),
            apply_filters( 'generate_page_header_default_size', 'full' ),
            array(
                'itemprop' => 'image',
            )
        )
    );
} );

It didn't work, I corrected it a bit since there was a syntax error. But nothing happens :

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_header', 'generate_after_entry_header_custom');
function generate_after_entry_header_custom() {
    printf( // WPCS: XSS ok.
        '<div class="post-image">
            %3$s
            <a href="%1$s">
                %2$s
            </a>
        </div>',
        esc_url( get_permalink() ),
        get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), apply_filters( 'generate_page_header_default_size', 'full' ), array('itemprop' => 'image'))
    );
}

Can you try the updated code?: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/generatepress-columns-on-custom-query/#post-1454132

Still not working, it doesn't change anything, posts images have "featured-image page-header-image" classes instead of "post-image" that sould be rendered by the hook...
