Hello, on our webpage https://charterpartydisputes.com/ we’re going to have a new posts category. Unlike most other posts they’re not going to have a featured image for this category. We’re using a Posts Loop element to feature all of the latest posts in chronological order, featuring the latest category though leads to a rather unpleasant result having a grid with empty image placeholders. Is there any way to exclude certain posts or posts categories from the Posts Loop element? If not what would be a workaround or solution for the desired result?
Hello,
If you don’t set a featured image on the post, then the theme will load a placeholder image, the placeholder image can be set in Theme Panel -> Block Settings -> Thumbs on Modules/Blocks => https://i.imgur.com/iISRuoX.png
Or you can hide the featured images, from the posts loop block.
The Posts Loops settings are divided into 5 tabs: General, Layout, Style, ADS and CSS. The Posts loop is a special block and doesn’t have filtering options.
Also, one of the options for pagination of the Posts Loop has the option for normal numbered and the flex blocks do not have this option.
The Posts Loop is automatically filtering the posts depending on the cloud template you set (for example on the category page there will be posted posts from that category).
You can use the Flex Block 1 and you can filter it to display the posts only from a category -> https://i.imgur.com/Nnt3zGX.png and you can design it to look like a posts loops block.
Thank you!
As I stated above, we need a filter to EXCLUDE certain categories/posts from displaying in an element. Is there any way we can do that?
Hi,
To exclude some categories from the blocks, you can do it only on Flex Block and big grid flex block.

On your suggestion, you are saying: “You can use the Flex Block 1 and you can filter it to display the posts only from a category -> https://i.imgur.com/Nnt3zGX.png and you can design it to look like a posts loops block.” I can not see how this solution is filtering out certain categories, to my understanding, the suggested solution is to display a certain selected category or all categories and NOT display all categories besides the selected ones.
Hello,
The flex block has a few options to filter, so you can use the option Multiple taxonomies filter to display posts from some categories -> https://i.imgur.com/qEHLH2f.png you need to set the id for these categories -> https://i.imgur.com/JnhY9wa.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
