I noticed that this theme does not have the checkbox “featured” that can publish article in main position – usually called FEATURED. In this theme it looks like featured position must be the largest image.
So I created a category called “FEATURED”.
The above block (flex block 5, in the center) now is set in order to show only articles from category “FEATURED”.
But the block does not show FEATURED articles. There is no logic that it uses now. Articles are picked randomly instead of picking from category ID 2. (look at image)
Please tell me if this theme has a tool that can place articles in a FEATURED position.
OR at least suggest the way to show in FLEX BLOCK 5, articles from the category FEATURED only.

Hi,
This can be done like you tried, using a “FEATURED” category, then just sort the post in the flex after the featured, for this you can use our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi,
The problem I mentioned is exactly the same one you mentioned. FLEX filter does not filter the content in this section. Even when a selected feature, articles are not appearing from this category.
I tried the LATEST post filter as well, but it does not arrange articles according to this filter.
Is the Ajax filter option necessary to show Featured or Latest posts?
and second issue:
The Mobile version in iPhone is showing a different design (NOT newspaper theme – looks like native WordPress or damaged) than one in Desctop/mobile simulator. See images: https://ibb.co/wsQdQ3Q
Newspaper theme article design looks different see here: https://ibb.co/vv8MZsg
How to fix?
Hello @accnews!
If you use the sort order featured and a category, then it will display the featured posts from that category. So, in this case, you do not need the ajax dropdown. Ajax category dropdown is for displaying that menu in the block’s header.
Could you please provide an example with those settings applied, screenshot or a video?
Please make sure you do not use the mobile theme plugin.
Thank you!
Here is the screen video: https://we.tl/t-mu9huChj2H
It shows that FLEX BLOCK 5 is set to display LAST from ALL CATEGORIES.
But it does not show last post.
You can see the last file on the top of posts list in admin.
Alternatively, I tried to set FEATURED for this block, but again it does not show the latest FEATURED articles.
See both attempt: https://we.tl/t-mu9huChj2H
P.S. as for the Mobile Temlate. I know that I should disable it, please let me know how.
Hello @accnews!
Let the offset field empty with no space, no value and see the results: https://www.screencast.com/t/peVbVmUDE. For more information about offset feature, please check this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/.
Deactivate it from here: https://prnt.sc/26xj1me
Thank you!
