Hello,
I really like the Homepage post extension, but like to add the excerpt.
How does it work?

Is it also possible to prevent a repetition of the post in the grid below the homepage post?

Many thanks and kind regards, Michiel

Hi,

Not all elements display a post excerpt. Some modules will show an excerpt, others will not. The excerpts cannot be enabled for modules that don’t feature it, unless maybe through code modifications in the theme files.
However you could display a post subtitle in the homepage post elements

– https://www.screencast.com/t/9V2peCbxC0
The posts that appear in the homepage post can be filtered and sorted, as all blocks. This is a guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
There is also an offset feature for blocks
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/
So for example if the homepage post and the following block share the same filtering and sorting, you could set an offset of 1 in the block.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks

Thanks a lot Simion, works well!

Final question on the “Homepage post”, can I remove the author, date etc?
I could not find this in the theme settings. Managed to remove it for the posts inside a grid.

Kind regards,

Michiel
