Add support for "latest news" view only one post without padding

[orrpan]

Awesome plugin!
For now I'm using this, to see if there only is one post showing then it should only present the title in regular font (as for a first page "This is the latest news"). Would be awesome if this could be implemented some better solution for this!

The perfect solution would get the text in plaintext and no extra things

cision-block/templates/cision-block.php

?>

<section<?php echo $wrapper_attributes; ?>>
<?php echo $prefix; ?>
<?php if (count($cision_feed)) : ?>
    <?php foreach ($cision_feed as $item) : ?>
       <?php if (count($cision_feed) === 1) : ?>
            <p>
                <time><?php echo date($options['date_format'], $item->PublishDate); ?></time><br>
                <?php echo esc_html($item->Title); ?>
            </p>
        <?php else : ?>
        <article<?php echo $attributes; ?>>
            <h2><?php echo esc_html($item->Title); ?></h2>
            <time><?php echo date($options['date_format'], $item->PublishDate); ?></time>
            <p>
            <?php if (isset($item->Images[0])) : ?>
            <span class="cision-feed-item-media">
            <img
                    src="<?php echo esc_url($item->Images[0]->DownloadUrl); ?>"
                    alt="<?php echo esc_html($item->Images[0]->Description); ?>"
            />
            </span>
            <?php endif; ?>
            <?php print wp_trim_words(esc_html($item->Intro ? $item->Intro : $item->Body)); ?>
            </p>
            <?php if (isset($item->CisionWireUrl, $readmore)) : ?>
            <a
                    href="<?php echo esc_url($item->CisionWireUrl); ?>"
                    target="<?php echo $item->LinkTarget; ?>"
            ><?php _e($readmore, CISION_BLOCK_TEXTDOMAIN); ?></a>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </article>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $pager; ?>
<?php echo $suffix; ?>
</section>

So basically you would like to be able to use a shortcode with a special view mode so you only display the latest feed item in a special way e.g [cision-block view_mode=4] (here 4 would stand for single latest release or similar)?
Would be great if you could add a screenshot so I understand how you are using this right now. I am thinking that the even though this would be very easy to implement it might be nice to actually add support to choose what data to display for this special view mode. I mean perhaps the user should be able to choose things like title, intro, body, image and so on?

One more thing, notice that you don't have to modify the template in the actual plugin; instead you should copy it to a template folder or into the root of your active theme and make your changes there instead. This way you changes will not be lost if you for instance update the plugin.

Glad you like this plugin and would be awesome if you could add a review: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cision-block/reviews/#new-post
