Featured Category

I changed the name of Featured Category by mistake, I have changed it back, but now ‘Featured’ appears on blocks. How do I reset this category to be hidden and only show the posts on top of the home page as it is intended?

Thanks

Hi,

Maybe you did not recreate the featured category properly. Please make sure that this category has exactly the name “Featured” and the slug “featured” – https://www.screencast.com/t/NjT06FEvN
Now you should be able to add posts to it and set them as featured.

Thanks

Hey. Yes it is entered correctly, just with no description, as in your image.
It does place the articles in Featured block at the top of the page, but the problem is that this category appears at other blocks top, like this:

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

But that is how it supposed to be displayed on the ajax filter, in my case also – https://www.screencast.com/t/0Qoe2jf9t
The featured category does not display as a tag on blocks and modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/

Hm. So How do I stop it being displayed there? It’s different language website, it makes no sense for me to have it there. And clearly I can’t translate it…

Also, if you’re saying that “featured” appearing in that “filer” or whatever that is, then why it is not appearing here, at the Newspaper Demo: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I have exactly same style setup, and I think that earlier it was not appearing, only after I changed the name…
there must be a way to fix it.

Hi,

You can choose the categories that appear in the ajax filter like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/XXZD7GALb and there you must enter the category ID’s that you want to display – https://www.screencast.com/t/MEB2CzJJme
Here are some examples where the featured category is present in the filter

OK, I will try this, but I’m pretty sure it was not showing featured before i meddled with it. just like it is not showing now on demo site…

Hi. Still. Something is not right. As you can see on default demo version of newspaper, there are no “featured” category showing on those lines. I use EXACTLY the same layout as demo, and I have “Featured” showing…
The perfect example is the “Don’t miss it” section, which I have not touched at all. In demo site there is no Featured, on my website there is showing…

Theres must be a way to disable it.

Hi,

Please note that the demo is custom made and it is not exactly the same as the demo that you can install, and some settings on blocks are different because the categories are different. The filter is meant to show all the categories, unless specific category ID’s are entered in the required field. Here you can see that the demo is using the same filtering option, based on category ID’s – https://www.screencast.com/t/DGeKnz6HaBxE
So you must use this filter and enter the categories that you want displayed, since there is no option to exclude a category from the list at the moment.

Hi. Are you one of the developers? It might be good idea to add this option, to exclude the “featured” category…

Hi,

Maybe this is already on the list for a future update. Please try to understand that each update is meant to add more features and options, and all suggestions and recommendations are taken into account. However I should mention that the list is forever increasing, and the developers decide what gets implemented as soon as possible and what gets postponed. Maybe this will be an option in a future update, we will just have to wait and see.

Thank you for understanding!
