Pitanja i odgovori
-
Where is the Elementor widget?
-
When Elementor is active, open the Pretty Sidebar Categories category in the Elementor panel and add Pretty Sidebar Categories.
The classic WordPress widget is hidden inside Elementor so you get the native widget and its Style tab. The classic widget is still available under Appearance > Widgets for themes that are not built in Elementor.
-
What can I set in the Elementor widget?
-
Content sets the title, title HTML tag, display template, taxonomy, and term. You can show the term description, link the title to the term archive, and on single pages show only other posts that share the current post’s terms.
Query sets how many posts to show (1-20), sort (title, publish date, last modified, menu order, or random), order, and whether to hide the current post.
Display sets the thumbnail size, date, excerpt length, and the more icon. The more text always links to the post. The default icon is a right chevron, and you can pick another icon.
-
How do I style the list?
-
Open the Style tab. It includes the widget title, list items, dates, excerpts, and images.
The title HTML tag can be
h1throughh6,div,span, orp. Item and image styles cover typography, colors, hover, spacing, borders, and shadow. More-link colors apply to the excerpt more link. -
Which templates are included?
-
- List Format is a text list.
- Image Left and Image Right place the featured image beside the title.
- Full Width Image spans the featured image across the widget.
Choose the template in the classic widget or in the Elementor Display template control. To add your own, put a PHP file in
pretty-sidebar-categories/templatesinside your theme. The file name becomes the template name. Do not name itlist.php; that name is reserved. -
What post types does this plugin support?
-
By default, the plugin searches public post types. Change which types are included on Settings > Sidebar Categories.
