I want to put a strong line separating posts on my homepage. How do I do that? Also is it possible to use tagDiv composer to edit the homepage, since it is not a ‘page’ on the WordPress interface?
Thanks
Hi,
I will try to help you, provide a link to your website and more details about what exactly you want to do and where. If it’s not possible with the composer, maybe it is possible with some CSS.
The tagDiv composer can be used to edit any page that has been built with it. Pages that have not been built with it, or contain other elements besides composer elements, may cause problems and errors.
Here are some guides regarding the composer and blocks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. My website is http://www.stagsmusic.xyz . On the home page, I would like to add a big-grid using tagDiv composer, which is why I was wondering if it could be possible to use tagDiv composer to edit the homepage. Secondly, between each post, I would like to put a horizontal black line separating one line from the next, so that they are easily demarcated.
Thanks
Hi,
From what I can see at the moment the website uses the default WordPress blog page as homepage. That will only display a list of your posts, ordered by latest.
You can create a static page with the composer and set that as homepage
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
In that page you can place any elements you want from the tagDiv composer, grids, blocks etc.
Also you can use block designs made by us (based on flex blocks), from the cloud library
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here you can see how they look, preview them and even edit them
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
Import the ones you like in the pages you create

Flex blocks have an option to set dividers between modules, so that won’t be a problem

Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I have implemented your suggestions. However, I still have a few problems. Firstly, I would like to remove the space between the main header and the first big grid. I would also like to make it such that the second big grid is the same width as the rest of the page. I would also like to edit the picture sizes in the second big grid such that all of them are 1:1. Lastly, I would like to reduce the space between the headers within the sidebar on the homepage; is there any way that can be done?
Thanks for your help.
I forgot one more thing; I would like my thumbnails as seen in the ‘Featured’ mega menu in the header to be of equal size and of square shape (1:1). Is there any way this can be done? One image already has a square thumbnail, but the other two do not, even though they were all uploaded with 1:1 ratio (but different sizes).
Hi,
That top space is the padding of the page, default value is 48px, but in the journal demo it’s set to 80px.
I could give you a code to remove it – http://prntscr.com/lk745p
Enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS section
.td-journal .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 0;
}
Regarding the width, please check the row settings stretch settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/jVXVNFORbg
As for the ratio, only flex grids have settings to adjust the image in the modules
– https://www.screencast.com/t/mQGx6f2a2
So you can control image alignment, image height and width. Default big grids and full width grids don’t have such settings.
The images in the mega-menu should be of this size, it cannot be changed
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Q0N3opVZYKQy
In your case some of the thumbnails are not created properly. Please regenerate the thumbnails to recreate them

Thanks
Thanks for your helpful reply again.
I was wondering if there was a way to cut down the number of posts to 5, in the Flex blocks, however add a page number icon at the bottom, so that the user can access the next five posts by pressing on the ‘2’ page number.
Also, when I try to use TD composer to edit the page, sometimes it doesn’t load and I am left with an empty screen even when I try refreshing. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.
Hi,
All blocks have a limit setting – https://www.screencast.com/t/hC8Fqkd9
So you can set any limit you want for each block, then the block will initially load the number of posts set there.
All blocks have pagination as well (not numbered)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Zdufhonu
So for example you could set a next/prev pagination. Let’s say a block has a limit of 5 posts and a next/prev pagination. Using the pagination will load an additional 5 posts.
This is the case for all the pagination types, they will load the number of posts according to the limit set.
That issue you are describing with the tagDiv composer could be solved by entering the code provided in the bottom of the requirements guide, in the htaccess file
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Many similar issues were solved with this solution. You could give it a try. Let us know.
Thanks
Unfortunately, even after changing the htaccess file it is not working. Now no matter how many times I try it is not loading; earlier it was only sometimes that it didn’t load. From the system panel, I can see that the variables have been updated, however it did not make a difference. I am now unable to edit my pages, please help. Thanks.
Furthermore, now when I try loading TD composer, the page stops loading after a few seconds (the favicon switchs to that of a generic page vs. the moving circle showing loading of page). Also, when I try using the default WordPress customizer, it takes around 5 seconds to load fully, if that helps your diagnosis.
Hi,
So the composer is not working at all at the moment. We could take a look at this, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, also cPanel or FTP if possible.
Please include a link to this topic in the email.
I have rectified the issue. It seems to be a problem with my Internet. When I used a different WiFi network, the page loaded. Any reason why this may be? Interestingly, this WiFi network on which it is working has a slower download/upload speed. Thanks for your help anyways.
I have a few more questions:
1. Is there a way to use pagination such that there is the ability to add page numbers in blocks such as 1 2 3 … Also, is it possible to change the ‘load more’ text?
2. In the Big Grids (in my case Full 8), is it possible to add the category box on each post shown in the grid?
3. Is it possible to change the spacing of the different items in the widget sidebar?
Thanks.
1. Only the loop elements have numbered pagination
– http://prntscr.com/lnmj27
Using it’s pagination will lead to the next page. The loops cannot be filtered, they will display posts from all the categories sorted by latest.
Blocks only have ajax pagination, no numbered option. Sorry for any inconvenience.
2. All modules will show the category tag, it just has to be enabled in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-tag-on-modulesblocks/
Big grid full 8 uses these modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
3. Change the spacing how exactly? Maybe there is a way.
Regarding the composer issue, maybe when trying to use the composer to edit a page for example, the connection was weak or lost with the website, that could explain it.
Thanks for the invaluable help. Regarding the spacing, I meant between each widget. For example, between two widgets on the sidebar, if I would like to reduce the space, can I do it?
Hi,
In order to reduce the space between each widget you’ll need to a a custom css like this
https://www.screencast.com/t/2HSlea86hCKd
Thank you.
Is it possible to edit CSS individually for each block?
Hi,
Yes is possible, also if you want you can add some extra class on widgets and set on the extra class the custom css ( in this way you can set the extra class on each widget you want to gave the same css ), also you can do this for blocks too.

Thank you.
