Hi,
I am reading this tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ and cannot find the default Featured post category in my categories list.
Should i just create this category by myself and functionality will work (for example I will be able to use flex box filtering method by featured posts?).
Hello!
You can create a category named “Featured” and on flex blocks you can filter to show posts only from that category.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
yes I did that, however the behavior is not like in Newspaper documentation. This category is not hidden and is shown on wordpress frontend for example in categories siblings Newspaper element or on article view it shows two categories (for example food – main category and featured as well).
Should I do something else to make sure it is a hidden category and just used for featuring articles for the purposes of flex blocks?
Thanks,
Michal
Hello Michal!
There is no need to do something else to achieve what you want, just what I explained you above and there should be no problem.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
unfortunately it is not working. The category tag ‘featured’ is shown like in attached screenshots. I am doing this test on a fresh demo install, so you can check at your end.
First i removed the featured category, then added it manually and assigned it to a post. Now it shows in the post single page and in category pages as sibling. It does not behave as hidden category.
Thanks,
Michal
Hello!
As long as your new category has the name “Featured” and the slug “featured” it will work exactly the same as the original featured category which you delete it.
Unfortunately, on the single cloud templates the featured category is no longer excluded like it was on the default templates. Everywhere else, it should be hidden because I have tested it on my end.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
would you consider including this small feature in one of next releases? To have same behavior between standard template and cloud templates?
Hello!
If this will be considered as a new feature in the next updates, then we will try our best to bring you a best solution in the future.
We will take in consideration your query.
Thank you!
