Customize Categories on Homepage

How do I add, delete, or customize the categories next to the custom title headers on the homepage?

My website is localnationalnews.tk

If you look, the first custom title header says “National”. Next to that I only want specific categories listed. How do I customize it so that only certain categories show up next to each individual custom title header?

Hello,
I’m not sure what you mean. If you want to customize your menu, you can do it from the menus section from the dashboard and add specific categories to your menu: http://screencast.com/t/nPQDFIh8
If this is not what you mean, please provide more details so we can understand better.
Thanks.

The orange arrows in the photo below point to what I am having trouble with.

The first set of category tags are next to the main title “National” in orange. I want to be able to customize the tags where it says National, CNN, Daily Kos, Featured, Fox, Local, etc. I only want my National sub categories to show up here.

The next set of category tags is next to the main title “Local” in green. I want to be able to customize the tags where it says National, CNN, Daily Kos, Featured, Fox, Local, there as well. I only want by Local sub categories to display here.

Basically, I want all of my “National” stories to show up in the National block, and all of my local stories to show up in the “Local” block with the option to choose a specific news outlet to read from. If you only want to see CNN stories in the “Local” section, you would scroll down to the “Local” block and click the CNN category tag.

But right now, it’s not letting me specify the individual category tags. It just uses all of them. I want to be able to customize which ones show up.

Change and customize category tags

Hello,
I understand now what you mean. That is controlled by the ajax filter. https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
You can add the categories you want in this filter from block settings and using the category id’s as the guide suggests. First get the category id’s like so: http://screencast.com/t/nNA915KnqGX then you need to add the category id’s you want to display in the ajax filter here: http://screencast.com/t/NM7GZMidS
Thank you!
