We have converted a paper newsletter to a WordPress site. One thing we're struggling with is that all the posts have to link to another page where you read the article.
We have some items that were just a photo and cut-line in the paper version that we'd like to offer on our homepage and we don't want them linking to a "Read More" since the Read More doesn't offer any additional content.
Any ideas on a work around?

I'm starting designing my website with wordpress. I'm using elemntor pro to design my website.
when I deliver a project I will post it on my website under "portfolio" category and ask my client to leave me a comment under that post.
but I don't know how can I show them on my home page large slider, as a full width image with my client review on it.
I know how to do it manually, but I want a way, that it atomatically update on my home page.
does any one have a solotuion for me?
I'm Using Elementor pro.
for this problem, I think to use the "Simple slider tool"
I've added a category to the posts that I wanted to use as portfolio posts.
but I don't know how can I show the comment, that my client will leave on the portfolio post, on its image on the same slider
but I think it is not a good answer for the need.
Well after 5 days of trying to find solution, I think I need WordPress magician to help me solve this.
I am translating my WordPress site. So far I have translated over 80% of the content mainly accessing .po files via server or by using LocoTranslate
I have troubles with translating some specific content on the page:
When accessing Products section in WordPress Dashboard I can see that even the settings are translated (to Danish) but some content of the same product page are not.
Image Of PRODUCT page:
What I have tried so far:
Checked all In Stock strings via LocoTranslate plugin (for main theme po file and plugins file) and all are translated to Danish.
I changed Main language in General WP Settings
Tried TranslatePress plugin, and when accessing the page via it, it does not offer an option to translate In Stock part. Evan tough it offers an option to translate action button and I did that.
As I can see on the editing page In Stock is clearly part:
Product settings on Dashboard
This means "In Stock" and even here is translated, too.
Note: When refreshing the page the translation is seen for a part of a second for the BUTTON, then it changes back to English.
Well, I am desperate. Can someone offer some other solution how I can fix this?
I just wondering whether http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos is a subdomain under subdirectory?
I am just curious to know how we can do that.
I have a website called http://quantumbuddy.com/ and I want to share spirtual video the same way here shoutmeloud did.
Can anyone let me know how they did?
The website Shoutmeloud is a very popular website of a very popular Indian blogger Harsh Agarwal. The website is WordPress built as told by him many times. Regarding your question - the http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos is not a directory because if it had been a WordPress directly there would be a login url - http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos/wp-login.php, but it is not there.
Seeing the design of http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos i think it is a post category (videos) which shows the post contained in it(here videos).
In wordpress this comes by default, all you have to do is to create a post category and add post in it. Then in these post add youtube videos embed code.
You can easily achieve that by going to your wordpress dashboard then add a new page and name it like videos then insert some video files there whether it's a link or from your uploaded videos then save it.
To check the page, Add it to your main menu for example then save it.
The url would be like http://quantumbuddy.com/videos.
so basically the videos is the name of the page.
I checked your site and it only contain one link in the menu. Add a page and add it to your menu bar and it would display next to the Blog link.
The website you are referring to is using Genesis Theme. You can find it here

Trying to figure out if there is a way to take a snippet of a wordpress blog, same site, same hosting, and plug that into a pure HTML page.
Example... I want to show the title of the blog, and first 150 characters. With a link to ..."read more" which would take the visitor to the actual blog.
Widget? or custom type of coding?
One way that WordPress exposes blog output to other applications is through the RSS feed.
It is often available by URL at
"http:// your-Wordpress-Root-URL.com/ feed".
You can use that URL in a 3rd-party widget that you use via HTML/JS on any HTML page.
They'll give you the code snippet to drop in your page.
And they'll have different options to customize things like the number of blog entries to show, and the length to preview - as you mentioned.
I'll paste a couple links to start with, and you can easily search for more online with something like "RSS feed widget" in google.

My main idea is that when i do a google search on my company's info, it keeps showing the latest post made. I would like to make the info the same everytime i do a google search. That will definitely show a good image of my company. I am using wordpress to run my company's website. I need some guidance on this... Thanks... Please pardon me if this is a stupid question. If there is other ways of doing this, instead of using wordpress, do tell me... Will be very happy to hear some suggestions...
This is a great question, and I think that there are a couple ways you could do it.
The first way that came to mind is to use your site's meta description on your home page. Your meta description is the 156 characters that appear in black letters underneath your site title in the search results.
If you want your meta description to be static and unchanging, just like LinkedIn, you can set your meta description without any coding knowledge using Yoast's Wordpress SEO Plugin. After you install it, edit your home page in Wordpress Admin and set the meta description to be your desired text. You can set the meta description for every page on your site, and each one will display the corresponding description in the search results.
If you want your meta description to be the latest post, you will either need to change the meta description for the homepage manually every time you write a new post, or you could write up some code to automatically generate the meta description from the first 156 characters of your latest blog post.
But, there is a second method that might work better. For an example site, I did a Google search for CSSTricks.com. Notice that it appears that Google is automatically pulling in their latest post without them having to do any hoopla with the meta description.
So, I went to CSSTricks using Google Chrome and did a right-click -> Inspect Element to view the source of the web page, to see how they were doing it. (You may need to open the below image in a new tab or save it to your computer to be able to read the code, because it is so small)
They do not have any meta description on their site, but they are using the HTML5 article tag. It appears that Google is pulling in the first p tag nested inside the article tag, and then displaying that as the black text in place of the meta description. So theoretically, if this is indeed how it works, what you need to do is write the markup of your home page so that it displays the post content using the article tag with a nested p tag, just as they have done.
Hope this helps!
