Big Grid Flex settings (and associated image)

Hopefully this is easy but I spent a couple hours trying.
2 questions below:
Question 1: The main page shows a grid of 5 photos (one large, 4 small). If I go into TagDiv editor I want to change them. After ‘fiddling’ they seem to be in the ‘Big Grid Flex 2’ area. I’ve used this article: https://forum.tagdiv.com/big-grid-flex-settings/
– But I can’t change the photos in the grid, order them or update them (for example if I do a new post – see below)
Question 2:
– If I write a post (for example: “Making great cheese at home”) I’d like to add the a photo so it appears in either the grid (see question 1) or when I select an article it appears at the top of the page. For example, https://doogle.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=929&action=edit
. . . if I go in and edit a post then I only get the text from the post and not the image that appears in the published article.
Thanks

Hello Andy!

I suggest using flex blocks instead of a big grid to arrange them as you like. By setting the post ID, you can permanently exclude a post from appearing or allow only one post in the entire block to appear.https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
For example, check the Chained News demo, and there you can see a lot of flex block 1 arrangements: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_chained_news_pro/

Thank you!

Thanks. I’ve made a lot of progress! I tried ‘Big Grid’ but couldn’t get the same ‘look and feel’ as the Flex Bock (see below*), so I simply filtered by Post ID and can control ‘which ones go where’. Brilliant 🙂
Few related questions:
– On the home page, How do I remove the ‘Categories’ from showing on the 4 smaller icons? (they still show on the photo above the Post title)?
– Can up update any previous posts in the forum (i.e. forum.tagdiv.com) to move the domain to make any questions more anonymous?

Thanks a lot. Great help

*I tried the ‘Big Grid’ but couldn’t get the following:
– get the ‘2+4’ layout – i.e. one big photo and 3 smaller ones
– get the ‘mouse over zoom’ effect on the photos
– get the Title to show over the top of the photo. It showed below it and looked rather old fashioned.
– get the ‘black fade’ across the photo so you can read the post title and other info (date etc.)

Hello Andy!

There is a setting for show/hide: https://prnt.sc/J43shFfFExmA
If you want to share something in private, then you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com.
Every block has different styles and settings. However, the Flex Block 1 is the most useful and feature-rich. You can achieve and build almost every style with this block.

Thank you!

Many thanks. I’ll play around with Flex Block 1 when I’ve got some time. Seems to be working fine now. Appreciated!
