Hi there I’m trying to set up a homepage section with one column having some text (looks ok) and the second column listing the latest blog posts.
You can see it here: www.lyndaoswald.kinsta.com
To display the blogpost I’m using the shortcode like this
[column_content type=”one_half”]
<h2>Recent Posts</h2>
[recentposts col=”1″]
[/column_content]
Two problems:
1) The blog post does not appear in the second column, but in the next row, under the first column
2) I don’t want the blog post image, and I’d like the text to be much smaller (its huge!). Anything I can do about that?

Check the correct shortcode in Appearance>Theme Options>Shortcode

ShriOctober 13, 2015 at 3:34 pm #12602It is the correct code. In the shortcode menu it states
Recent Posts
[recentposts col=”3″]

So it won’t work.

ShriOctober 14, 2015 at 1:43 pm #12650You have to use some kind of div (html based) to have 2 columns and within that you can use shortcode of recent post and other.
