Nice overview. Which Custom Post type you prefer ACF or Pods as i have seen you are using pods also. Does Pods give us option to store all data in separate tables so that we can import listing specially incase if its related to Real Estate. I find it hard to import 100s of real estate listing in ACF custom fields as it store all information in post table which make import difficult to map. If we had ability to store custom fields for custom post type in separate fields then its easy to import data which is in XML format. Any advice on this as you have face such scenario.
Cool video. Thanks. Have you managed to get auto-excerpts to display (=excerpts that generated from the content and are not manually created in the post's "excerpt" field)? Many people, including me, have not been able to get that to work, which is a real ballbreaker. 😒
Hello, Great video... however, I do have a question. Is there a way to sort via a custom post field? For example, I have a custom field called "Event Date" and I want to be able to sort all my event by the event date so the latest event is first. Is that possible? I see you can sort via Wordpress modify date, but I want to use a custom field not a system field. Thanks in advance for your reply
Hi Imran. Loving your content, I'm learning so much from your channel, your a great teacher. My posts contain html images, so when I try to do this, the only option is to add the post content widget to the loop grid to be able to see the html image. This is no good because I need to have control over the amount of text from the the post, instead of it showing the whole post. What I would like is, a heading, an image, then a set amount of text underneath from the post, with a read more button linking it to my post. Do you know how I could achieve this using html images? Sorry for the long winded question. I'm new to web building, and have found your guidance indispensable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Big respect for what you do 🙌
What actually is interesting is what will happen when the user clicks on it. My obvious guess is that the content (blog post, news article, ...) will be opened in a pop-up. But no, Wordpress/Elementor does not offer such an option out of the box and often just an entire website is loaded. Is it meanwhile opening the post in a pop-up supported?
@@websquadron Thank you for the sift reply. In that case I leave the solution I have already in place AE Post Blocks Adv. It does works but it is rather slow.
As usual, very good instructions and easy to follow. Does anybody have the shortcode for picking up the primary category so I can get the ribbon working correctly?
@@websquadron Done with ACF and working well, just need to go thru the blog pages and mark each. Not so a big job, anyway. Thanks 😀, keep up the great work
@websquadron, do you have a .css recommendation (or something else) to make all the blocks the same height? They matched in your example, but if you have, for example, a post name underneath the image then some blocks will be taller than others within the same row - and it looks awful.
@@websquadron Thanks, but neither way worked right. I do appreciate it. If you get a chance to find a better option I would be eternally grateful - I'm not very good with custom .css. Thanks for all the great content!
Tried to follow your instructions but it's not working for me, is this only possible through Elementor Cloud? I have Elementor Pro and the Flex Box and Loop enabled but I'm not able to follow along as when I get to the point of creating the template (3:49 minutes) the editor greys out and the browser just keeps going round & round. Can not do anything past this step as the Edit Loop Grid builder is greyed out and non-responsive
Is it possible to make a costum header with a picture and a text overlay that i can use on all pages on my site and if i want the title to be in smaller px that it changes on all pages because im using the same template? Or is it only possible for posts?
@@websquadron Thanks for taking the time to reply. I resolved issue by regenerating Elementor CSS and styles, clearing all my LS CAche and Cloudflare. Also notified Elementor they should email customers warning of CSS changes that require such action after an update changing classes! Many use auto-update solutions and don't rush to look at their site after every day's updates.
Why is my site is always different? It never stays the same way that I built it. Padding is always inconsistent. The images are always inconsistent. The alignment is always inconsistent. If I don’t touch it today. I can bet all the money in my bank account that next week it will look different. It’s so frustrating and it paints the picture that my brand/company doesn’t pay attention to detail.

Pods is also my favorite.. please continue creating more content on this
love the use of the CtA - that is outside the box and great thinking. Thanks for sharing.
Gets even better with the new alternate templates :) ruclips.net/video/Gb0Bd5AqpjI/видео.html
I always find your videos very helpful mate, Thanks!
Big thanks :)
Thank you!

Great explanation!
love the plant Early Christmas tree hee hee
I'm never satisfied with my room and always planning the next change :)
@@websquadron add the old tube lights near the tree!
What Crockoblock introduced years ago in Jet Engine (Listing Items).
Yup
Cool video. Thanks.

Yup, still an issue, so I add a Text or Heading Field and then use the Dynamic tag to associate it with the Excerpt.

Good question, let me check.
@@websquadron AWSOME... Look forward to what you find out. By the way... your videos are AWESOME. Keep up the good work
So the question weighing on my mind is can you filter these?
Can this feature replace Crocoblocks for listing websites and whatnot??
Not yet.
A new post filter will come out eventually

Tricky but see this code: ruclips.net/video/8C7vlRumhOw/видео.html
@@websquadron Brilliant it worked! just set the class of the text box and edited your code accordingly. Thanks again!
When will a stable version be released?
I think after Christmas.
Can we add post title n other meta over the featured image..like a magazine post tiles like layout ??
Of course :) Did you see the use of the CTA Widget in the video?
@@websquadron had returned from work....fallen asleep while watching the video ..saw the rest of the video now...Yes..CTA added on featured image 👍
It's good but hard to show relationship between post types
That's where ACF and a Code Snippet could help.
Hi! My pods field appears on the key selection but it doesnt appear on the template. What should I do?
Is it not there when you scroll down?

You can add a separate Dynamic link for a Popup but that would mean building post by post which isn't good.
@@websquadron Thank you for the sift reply. In that case I leave the solution I have already in place AE Post Blocks Adv. It does works but it is rather slow.
@@skystink Absolutely. Alway goes for what is the most efficient way to build. :)
As usual, very good instructions and easy to follow. Does anybody have the shortcode for picking up the primary category so I can get the ribbon working correctly?
Maybe add it as a custom field and then it can just be selected?

Try this:
div {
height: 500px;
}
@@websquadron in the loop under advanced settings in Elementor right, not on the grid?

Could be a Cloud problem.
Do you get the same issue on a Non-Cloud site.
You could test on TasteWP.com
@@websquadron I'm not using Elementor Cloud, that is why it's not working for me. I'm using a hosting provider. Thanks for replying.

You could create a header and then add in the dynamic field for the page title
Iam waiting for stable flexbox version when it will come
It’s pretty stable now
Well, I don't see a point why would they release it without an ability to connect with CTPs
You can connect it via Custom Post Types UI and then the relevant Custom Field Plugin/Addon, unless I'm missing something?
This recent Elementor container CSS class change destroyed all y long landing pages, F*. How to fix?
Can you roll back or use a backup?

how could i add a search/filter to this?
Best way for now is WPGridBuilder until we get the Loop Post filter
@@websquadron is that planned by elementor?
Yes it’s on their roadmap
Why is my site is always different? It never stays the same way that I built it.
Padding is always inconsistent.
The images are always inconsistent. The alignment is always inconsistent. If I don’t touch it today. I can bet all the money in my bank account that next week it will look different. It’s so frustrating and it paints the picture that my brand/company doesn’t pay attention to detail.
Not sure unless you’re using 3rd party widgets inside the loop builder? Or is it due to the padding and margin being based on REM instead of pixel?
