Categories to show when display as list

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 6

When editing a block in the category template (the one right below the category description), there is an option named “Categories to show when display as list”.

The default value is “auto”. What are other choices?

Suppose that I have some main categories like: Business, Sports, Entertainment. When I clicked on https://mywebsite.com/category/business , there is always a menu “Business – Sports – Entertainment” below the description of business category, which I dislike.

However, if my business category has some sub-categories like “Real Estate, Finance, Insurance”, the menu is the list of sub-categories, which I LIKE.

I know that I can delete that block, but I want to see if there is any other better solution.

Ok, step by step.

1. I installed the Newspaper theme, and chose “Pulses Pro” pre-made website. I activated “Design only”.

2. I chose “Cloud Templates”, then clicked on “Category Template” and edit it with TagDiv Composer.

3. Now the screen changed to the Tagdivie Composer Interface. The main category page is designed like this:

4. Situation: When my category has some sub-categories, there will be a list of sub-categories, right below the category description. Like in this live web link:

https://www.banyantimes.com/section/business/

However, if my category has NO subcategories, there is a menu list of other same-level categories, which I do not like, as in this live web link:
https://www.banyantimes.com/section/sports/

5. Questions: How can I remove the menu in the second case where the category has no sub-categories?
Or, what are other options I can enter for “Categories to show when display as list” in TagDiv Composer?

Hello!

You can use the element “Subcategories” instead of Category siblings. There is no option in Category siblings to display only the subcategories.

Set the featured image for the posts in order to display the images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
Please make sure that you have enabled the proper thumbs with these sizes in order to show the featured images properly, check this: https://www.screencast.com/t/N18dR3qZrh
After activating the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/

Thank you!
