DP Filterable Blog
The DP Filterable Blog module is similar to the default Filterable Portfolio module available in Divi, except it works on any custom post type and has several additional options. You can display posts or custom post types in a grid or fullwidth layout. The following options are available in the DP Filterable Blog module.
Content
CUSTOM QUERY – Each module has the capability of displaying results from a custom query you can add to your functions.php file using a filter. Please click here to view more information about how to use this option.
POST NUMBER – Limit the number of post results displayed in the layout per page.
OFFSET NUMBER – Use this option if you would like to skip a post. In other words, if you set the value of this option to 3 and display posts in order of most recent to oldest, the three most recent posts will be skipped in the results.
ORDER BY – Order posts by date, title, slug or in random order.
ORDER – Order your posts in Ascending (most recent, alphabetical) or Descending (oldest, reverse alphabetical) order.
CUSTOM POST TYPE NAME – This is a checklist of post types that you have available on your website. You will always have Posts and Projects available, as these are default Custom Post Types (CPTs) included in WordPress and Divi. If you have any other CPTs (products, events, testimonials) they will also be available in this checklist. Once a CPT is checked, all categories for that CPT will be checked in the Categories list. You can avoid this by leaving the CPT unchecked and simply clicking only the categories you want to add in the Categories checklist.
* If you do not see a CPT in the checklist that should be available, click on the “Refresh Post Types and Categories” button. This will update the list to show any recently added CPTs and categories.
CATEGORIES – This is a checklist of categories from each CPT available on your website. We have also add the CPT name in parenthesis behind each category in case you have several CPTs with the same category name. If you would like to display every category, you can click the associated CPT in the Custom Post Type Name checklist. This will select all categories for that CPT. If there are several categories you want to remove, you can then simply uncheck them. You can also leave the CPT unchecked and click a handful of categories for that CPT. The associated CPT will automatically get checked.
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE TAXONOMY – This option is used to control which taxonomy the Include Tags and Exclude Tags options will be applied to. By default, the tags will be applied to the post_tag. If you would like to exclude project tags, you can type project_tag in this option. Now the Include Tags and Exclude Tags options will be applied to project tags instead of post tags.
INCLUDE TAGS – This option applies to the post_tag taxonomy by default, but can apply to any taxonomy by adding it to the Include/Exclude Taxonomy option above. Enter a single tag slug or a comma separated list of tag slugs. All posts in the categories above AND WITH these tags will load. Leave empty if you only want to filter using the categories above.
EXCLUDE TAGS – This option applies to the post_tag taxonomy by default, but can apply to any taxonomy by adding it to the Include/Exclude Taxonomy option above.Enter a single tag slug or a comma separated list of tag slugs. All posts in the categories above AND WITHOUT these tags will load. Leave empty if you only want to filter using the categories above.
FILTERS SORT – This option allows you to change the order of the category filter buttons that are displayed horizontally above the posts.
FILTERS BY – (FILTERS SORT option must be set to ID, Name, Slug for this option to appear). Here you can choose whether you want to filter the categories by category ID, name or slug.
FILTERS ORDER – (FILTERS SORT option must be set to ID, Name, Slug for this option to appear). Here you can choose whether you want to filter the categories in ascending or descending order.
FILTERS CUSTOM – (FILTERS SORT option must be set to Custom for this option to appear). Here you can enter a comma-separated list of categories manually to order them however you want. This does not affect the query (the posts that are displayed in the layout). This only affects which category filter buttons are displayed and the order in which they are displayed.
Elements
