Hi folks. I need little help with a particular requirement for a client. He would like to have latest posts shown in 2 columns, but both from the same category. Something like:
[tds-columns]
[tds-column half animation=fadeInLeft][tds-blogposts title="NOTICIAS" category="fashion" number="2" count="20" orderby="latest" image="large" showmeta="no" titleicon="fa-trophy"]
[/tds-column]
[tds-column half last animation=fadeInRight][tds-blogposts title=" " category="fashion" number="2" count="20" orderby="latest" image="large" showmeta="no" titleicon="fa-suitcase"]
[/tds-column]
[/tds-columns]What would be your suggestion in order to avoid repeated posts on the second column, so the page can show the 4 latests post of the particular category? Is there any parameter on tds-blogposts in order to avoid repeated posts?
I tried using single column and use css (fixed width and float:left), but of course the whole thing breaks up and it would require a lot of css intervention. Should i have to go with my own shortcode in order to achieve this?
Thanks for your time.

Hi dsvino,
What you could do to avoid repeating posts by using the same category like ”fashion” is following.
Use the shortcode in 1 column and use orderby=”latest”
Use the shortcode in 1 column and use orderby=”random”the first column will show all latest posts in the category fashion
the second column will show all posts in the category fashion in a random order. -
Thanks for quick reply Helen.
However, by using random doesn´t quite fix my problem, because I need exactly the latest 4 items. I think that using “post__not_in” should do it, so i think i’ll need to create my own shortcode so achieve this (probably using as a base for it).
Once again, thanks for your time.
