Hello Gadgetsay,
Please keep in mind that the feature is just a simple Block which displays only the post titles. If you want to bring your desired results, please notice that you can customize it from the panel in Block Settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/QtAqzwyrnJan Also, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hi,
unfortunately our theme has no such sorting options. A post will show up everywhere one of it;s categories is specified. there is no AND operation involved. sorry. if a post belongs to categories A and B but another post belongs to categories A, B and C then both posts will show up on a block filtered to show categories A and B because it only takes one category specified for the post to show up. The only sorting options our theme can provide are specified here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
I have added “slider block” in Home Page sidebar , Filter just 1 category
But the block is not showing
Hi Thanks for prompt response,
We want to show only that post for which three categories are assigned in a theme block.
Regards,
Asgher
Hello,
1) there is no theme setting for this but it can be done with a css trick. Add this code in the theme panel->custom css box:
.td_block_4 .entry-title a{
pointer-events:none!important;
}
And if you want to remove the hover color you can also ad this code:
.td_block_4 .td_module_wrap:hover .entry-title a{
color:initial!important;
}
2) This functionality is mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/background-introduction/
It is related to the site background. If you want to have a full width header and footer, yopu need to remove any background image or color (white counts too) You need top press the clear button for the background color and remove the background image.
3) The site width cannot be altered. Our theme was built on a fixed width and there is no simple way of changing it as all the theme elements depend on this fixed width.
4) The category tag color can only be changed with css. For this you need to add an extra class on the row that contains the block in visual composer and then use the class in this css code like so:
.mycustomclassname .td_block_4 .td-post-category{
background-color:Red;
}
Thank you!
Hi,
You will have to provide more details. You cannot assign categories to a page. Our theme blocks will show posts when at least one of their categories is specified so if you have a post which belongs to 3 categories, it will show up everywhere one of it’s categories is filtered. I’m not sure how you want to filter posts though.
Thanks.
I discovered that when checking my site on Mobile a pop will just pop-up from the side and blocking the main content thereby making it difficult for the reader to read the content
Hi, apologies for asking a few questions in one post but I don’t want to take up too much space. I have a few questions about the settings I can’t seem to figure out:
1) I have a one-page site using Block 4 to display post excerpts (see photo below). My client does NOT want the post title to link to the post page, and wants the only link available to lead to an external site. Can I remove the link functionality from the post title and have it display as plain text?
2) I can’t figure out how to make the footer/header full-width. They used to be, but in the course of editing, they are only site width and I can’t figure out what setting I messed with. No option for this in the footer theme panel section, far as I can see.
3) How can I adjust the site width?
4) How can I change each tag color? For instance, in the attached image I’d like the change the ‘technology’ tag on the photos to match the red color of the block title.
Thanks very much.

Hello,
Actually the option is already there if you check fonts settings:
http://screencast.com/t/UrZr4eIR
You can change the font for each module in particular. Block 7 uses module 6
You can see a list of what module is used on which block here: http://screencast.com/t/5wNcrYJKQn
As for the block title: http://screencast.com/t/myJIp9jt
Thank you!
Hello,
There is no way of adding or removing the stars as they will appear on all blocks except for block 15. There is only one block that does not show the stars review.
You can activate the review stars on module 15 by adding this code like so:
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<?php echo $this->get_date();?>
</div>
http://screencast.com/t/3oGOB6GhILBn
The review stars are tied to the date so it will enable the date on other posts inside the block.
Thank you!
Hello,
If you want to add the read more button to another block you simply have to add this code in the module file you want the read more to display on:
<div class="td-read-more">
<a href="<?php echo $this->href;?>"><?php echo __td('Read more', TD_THEME_NAME);?></a>
</div>
Block 4 uses module 2 so you can add the code here: http://screencast.com/t/WFUTpe1w
It will need a bit of css customization:
.td_block_4 .td-read-more, .td_block_4 .more-link-wrap{
margin-bottom: -10px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
This should do it.
Thanks.
Hi medienstuermer,
If your problem will reappear, please try to check the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/very-long-titles-in-block/ because there was discussed this problem.
Thanks for the message!
Hi there,
Please visit
https://10keythings.com/
On the Sidebar, I have used Block 7 renamed as Other Suburbs-Schools,
under that there are various POSTs Title,
e.g. Top Secondary Schools in ….
How to increase the Font Size of these POSTs Titles?
Also, how to increase the Block Title too?
Do you have any plans to give the above options for every block separately, in case it is not there currently?
Best Regards,
Sanjeev
Do you have plans adding “showing review stars” setting for Modules/Blocks in your Block setting function?
Just like the category tags.
Theme panel > Block Setting > Category tag on Modules/Blocks
The review stars aren’t enabled in the blocks I want them to.
And I want to figure out a way to controlling them.
Thank you.
Hi, I wanted to know if its possible to add a read more link, just like block 12 or 13 to block 4? any help on this?
Unfortunatly even NO WORK.
My ads.php looks now:
<div class=”td-header-rec-wrap”>
<?php
// show the header ad spot
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance(‘td_block_ad_box’)->render(array(‘spot_id’ => ‘header’));
if (is_category(‘mainz-mingen’))
{
echo do_shortcode(‘[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_3"]‘);
}
else
{
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance(‘td_block_ad_box’)->render(array(‘spot_id’ => ‘header’));
}
?>
</div>
So – do I have to take any other changes in any other files?
So as I understood I have to use if in_category – because I wan to show this other graphic (placed in custom ad 3) on EVERY POST, which is made IN THIS CATEGORY.
I did´nt know that this could be such a problem, I thought I can change this in the panel by choosing, cos I´m not a really *.php genius 🙂
Hello vipin_ramdas,
Please try to regenerate all your thumbnails, using the following guide, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Also, if you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello ABilgen,
Please notice that you can use the shortcode which is generated for each block in Visual Composer and place it everywhere you want in your post article, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/CXZ9zth19 -> http://screencast.com/t/FY2TdUKaL -> http://screencast.com/t/GyDsxUzKTP and the result -> http://screencast.com/t/Of3qsGGCcPR
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello Yucca,
You can edit the theme template files that correspond to each post style you use on your site and use a do_shortcode function like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_5 custom_title="Block title2" limit="3"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
http://screencast.com/t/2QKMvATQ2jY
You can get the shortcodes for any block from visual composer if you access the classic mode and text mode in the mce editor: http://screencast.com/t/c8HfwvZt
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using photon module from Jetpack plugin. This module i known for creating issues with our theme so try to deactivate it, clear all caches then test the site again. Also try to regenerate your thumbnails following this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hello,
This is mainly due to speedbooster and moving the render blocking css to footer. Css works in cascades. If you move the css to the footer, the theme will load the default style until it gets to the footer so it can apply the other styles as well. Please try to make speedbooster not move style.css to footer and check again.
Thank you!
Hi
You’re using in_category() function in your condition which is not correct. To check if a specific category page is displayed you need to use is_category(), please check my first reply from indicated thread.
The condition should look like this:
if (is_category('cat-name'){
echo do_shortcode(‘[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_3″]’);
}
else{
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance(‘td_block_ad_box’)->render(array(‘spot_id’ => ‘header’)); ?>
}
Thanks!
Hello,
Please add this css to the theme panel->custom css box:
@media(max-width:767px){
.td_module_10 .td-excerpt {
display: block;
}}
Thank you!
