You can customize your Post Timeline Template without modifying the core files of the plugin and would be able to get updates without losing your customization changes. To do the template customization, first, you have to select the right template which you want to customize, for example: if you are willing to do some changes in “Template 3”, you have to copy the template view file from the specified folder.


Folder Path:   "/wp-content/plugins/post-timeline/public/partials"

Template File: "post-timeline-public-3.php" (for horizontal template, copy the post-timeline-public-3-h.php file)


Once you are done with the customization, paste the template file in your theme root directory as shown in the image, Post Timeline will use your theme file and will show the changes.

The default navigation nodes count is 6, if User want to adjust the number of nodes of navigation they can pass the parameter nav_max in their shortcode, the value must be within 2 and 15 range.

 

Example shortcode with navigation node count will be:

[post-timeline category_id="7" nav_max="5"]

Post Timeline have 5 navigation styles, in case your Tag text is greater and doesn’t fit in the navigation text area, you can easily increase the width of the navigation by adding the CSS rule in Post Timeline Settings Custom CSS text-area, the rule to increase the width of the area is as follows.


.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list ul.yr_list-inner li a,
.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list ul.yr_list-inner li a.active{width:155px !important;}
.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list{width:155px !important}
.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list .ptl-btn a{width:100% !important;}


For Navigation style 5, paste the following rule.


.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list ul.yr_list-inner li a,
.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list ul.yr_list-inner li a.active{width:70px !important;height:70px !important;}
.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list{width:155px !important}
.p-tl-cont.timeline_section .yr_list .ptl-btn a{width:70px !important;height:70px !important;}


Vertical timelines do support header posts, to add a header Post in your timeline, create a post using the Post Timeline tab, once the post is created, add the ID of the post into your shortcode with an attribute header.

For Example, [post-timeline category=”8″ header=”12″], the post ID of header post id 12 which we can see from the post edit page URL.
