Hello !
I am not sure what do you mean. Do you want to have a post shown on a specific page ? And what do you mean by posts life time?
Please provide more details in order to help you.
Thank you !
Hi Vlad,
I have a lot of permanent profile pages. I want for now, to also create one post for each page, so I can add them to a category and display them like home page ‘see your demo default newspaper pro’
But when the post is clicked, I want it to go the to the page its associated with?
I thought the only way to do this was to re-direct the url’s ?
This way I can design the home page as I want, displaying categories, then adding more posts to them, once I continue to write more in the future.
I wanted to know how long a post is displayed for ie. 1 month or 2 or 12 ??
I hope Ive explain the best I can. Its trying a work around really, because you can’t add a page to a category.
When I launch the site, initially there will be only pages, posts that are associated with that page will be written later.
Or is there a much simpler solution you can think of ?
Thank you for you time Vlad

Hi,
“But when the post is clicked, I want it to go the to the page its associated with?”
Please note that the posts can not be redirected, also you do not need to make posts to redirect theme to pages, you can use other elements from tagDiv Composer to achieve this, for example you can set some images with text and set the link to a page -> https://i.imgur.com/XKMjrRD.png -> https://i.imgur.com/bDpN1hl.png or you can display the page directly in blocks -> https://i.imgur.com/Uaq1qDo.png (just make sure that you set some featured image on pages ->https://i.imgur.com/8wJ0SYw.png)-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ indeed there is no option for categories in pages only in posts.
There is no limit of time for posts, as long you have theme in your WordPress you can display them, also you can sort the results -> https://i.imgur.com/gAv4JwT.png using tagDiv Composer and check the filter tab on blocks and flex blocks.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi Calin,
I get it now thank you, just layout my page how I want using flex blocks and change the filter to show pages rather than categories for now until I write more posts to display?
I wonder is there any way to install the demo… just so I can deconstruct the how the theme works rather than change it to suit my design??
I would prefer to start from scratch, and use the demo as an reference?
Kind Regards
Mark
Hi,
Is no need to start from scratch, only if you want to learn better how tagDiv Composer is working if you want you can install a demo, there should be no problems, but if you do not have posts, you’ll not have what to display, therefore you need to set your page content in posts (if you do not have many pages) or to set with tagDiv Composer on blocks to display the pages until you get some posts.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi Calin
Ok, now I’m a little confused as completely new to Newspaper. How would you recommend I structure this please, I have not built any pages or posts yet, just have been collecting the various content I need, and make sure I do the best preparation first before I really start the build.
1. I would like the layout to look very similar to your ‘Default Newspaper Pro’
2. This is a community Hub Website. So to include Schools, Church, Doctors, Sports and Activity Clubs, Leisure and Entertainment, etc etc.
3. I have all these individual ‘Clubs/Amenities’ information to create a page or post? of their profile, 300 words plus a few pics, contact details etc. These will all need to be a permanent point of reference to the user and will be in header main menu as drop downs.
4. I have about 40 of these profiles and that will grow. Some will not be giving me much to post articles about and some will send me continuous articles to post.
5. The problem is at the time I launch, I shall only have these profiles initially to display, their articles will come as and when at a later date.
6. The main Categories are as follows:
Community Centre, Memorial Hall, Core Amenities, Sports and Activities, Leisure and Entertainment, Local Business Directory, Views from the Rise
Obviously each ‘profile’ will fall under one of these categories.
Your recommendation and knowledge on how best to structure and display this would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mark
Hi,
1. If you like one of our demos, you can install an use it using our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ also you can edit it using tagDiv Composer.
2. I think that you can make posts and use categories for this, also you can check our documentation of
primary Category: Build a clear hierarchy for your website.
3. These should be added to posts, and the posts will be display on pages/categories in flex blocks/modules with a featured image, title and a short description.
Adding categories to these posts you’ll be able to create mega menus.
4. These profiles can be the categories.
5. Yes, you have the option to sort and filter the posts/articles -> https://i.imgur.com/mMA0s9n.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
in this way you can display all the time the latest articles, or most popular articles …
6. I think that it will be best to make these categories build a clear hierarchy for your website.
If you need help with something, just let us know!
Thank you!
Thank you Calin,
So I should create everything as posts not pages ? i.e
The Church, The school, Football Club, etc etc would all be posts, and placed under a main Category ? i.e
Community Centre
Then I can create a main menu and add my Categories and posts to it ?
I get it, would it be an idea to create sub categories for ?
The Church, The school, Football Club, etc etc under the main Category of
‘Community Centre’ and place the posts in those sub cats ?
Thanks again for you support.
Mark
Hi,
The Church, The school, Football Club etc should be categories that will be set on the post you will make, if you will write an article about education will set the school tag and so on.
Yes, you can create subcategories for the categories as in your example, or you can make them like on this example Sports: sub cat: football, tennis, box.
Hope this will help you!
Hi Calin,
Ok cool
Thanks again for the support.
I presume I can create a post template ? .. so they all look the same ?
Kind Regards
Mark
Hi,
Yes, you can create your own single post template or you can use and edit the single post templates from tagDiv Cloud Library with tagDiv Composer.
Thank you!
