Thanks, but i am only looking to hide specific options under post settings like post template and post category and not all. I still want to use subtitle and quote on blocks

Hi Bettina,
Thanks wp_booster error has gone. one more thing in Flex Block 3 grid – in pagination when I select Next Prev ajax – none of the older news stories show, it displays the same news stories.
This error is happening on in Flex Block 3 grid. Please Help.
Thanks
Justin
I have a problem with the ADS section. When I make any changes, click save, but it doesn’t work, I am left with the loader in fixed load without doing anything. I have already tried every solution indicated online, deleted htasse and recreated, checked the permissions in the root fto, disabled plugin, nothing. I can’t find the solution. How can I solve?
Hello!
It does not matter because if the page is made with the TagDiv Composer or you have imported a cloud homepage template, then you can add a flex block there.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hello!
1. The flex blocks are working on every cloud/PRO template. Doesn’t matter if it’s a post or page. But, we have special shortcodes for pages and posts too.
2. The posts means articles. So, you can call them as you like.
3. In order to avoid misunderstandings, please provide more information about what you need to achieve, screenshots or a video.
A solution for sending a screenshot/video is this:
Download, capture, send: https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html
After making the screenshot, you will have a link, paste it here.
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Documentation here:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/ (blocks like flex blocks are working in this kind of posts)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
Check also our video tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/c/tagdivThemes/videos
You can customize the excerpts in the theme panel : on words/letters: https://www.screencast.com/t/EROolW6hTSk0
If you edit a post and add a text as excerpt manually (in the excerpt box), the theme will show that text unmodified and uncut: https://www.screencast.com/t/FuTeApMmXgH0
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
Thank you for getting back to me. I think I understand what you mean. Our homepage template is currently set to “Pagebuilder + latest articles + pagination.”
In this configuration I don’t think there’s an option to add additional blocks below the latest articles. My understanding is that I would have to change to the standard template, i.e. pagebuilder only, and then configure my own blocks for the latest articles and sidebar.
Will have a play with it and see what I can do.
Hello!
For example, add a flex block in a post go to the filter tab of the element’s settings and from the dropdown category filter you can choose between: Single – More from author, Single – Related by category, Single – Related from tags.
When you use the special filters you should place the shortcode/element (flex block) in the desired template in order to have effect: https://www.screencast.com/t/26s82FuUvqBw
For example: if you have a category template assigned on all the categories you have ( global template), then it is very useful to use a special filter category – current category in order to display the posts from the current category. In this mood you won’t have the same posts on each category page.
Hope that is more understandable now!
Thank you!
Edit – OK, I’ve now added widgets to my side bar on my posts via the dashboard widgets section, and added a flex block, to display the latest posts. So I’m happy with this. It does not seem to observe the excerpt length setting, and then I see this seems to be the case everywhere – I alter the excerpt length from the default 25 to something else, but the length of the excerpt shown does not change. Possibly a bug?
If it helps, here is the Chrome Console error message:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE.NotSameOrigin
OK, it does not seem to work.
I will work through the steps I have taken and you can see where I have gone wrong.
1. I am using the Category template of magazine pro.
2. In View mode, I click on a category tab on a post and it takes me to a page using the Category template. (It shows “Global Category template – Magazine PRO” at the top left).
3. I then click on the green “Edit with TagDiv Composer” button on the WordPress top right menu bar. The Welcome to TagDiv Composer side bar opens.
4. On the right side of the page I have a block I have titled “Latest articles”.
5. I want it to just show articles in the category selected. (This is just a test of the features I am trying to understand, since there is no point doing this here, because the post loop can show the articles latest first.)
6. I click on the “latest articles” block (Its a flex block 1)
7. I click on filter and select the special filter “Category – Current category”.
8 Save and view.
9. I click on a category tag and check the first article shown in “Latest articles”.
10. It shows a post that is not in the category. Fail.
I have misunderstood somewhere.
Grateful for all your help.
Hi Bettina,
Looks like we are talking at cross purposes. I have already done some inner rows, etc on pages.
Let me rephrase:
1. TagDiv Blocks, as I understand it, only run on what WordPress calls “pages”, not “posts”. Is this correct? Does it apply to shortcodes?
2. Posts display articles posed to them.
3. But supposing it was possible to choose a block, on a page, whose purpose was to do a display similar to what the “Column text” extended shortcode can do? All you do is set the post ID in the filter, and in view, it runs the article.
So that was my first suggestion. The client’s current CMS does this.
Second, in my second paragraph, I was asking about what WordPress calls “Posts”. I can’t get a side bar on my posts. Not looked into this thoroughly, I’m sure it is somehting simple, but when i can, I’d like to get “latest Posts” into there somehow – yet my understanding is that blocks don’t work in posts…
Hope this is clearer. Many thanks!

Hello , i have the same problem as in this thread https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/flexblock-category-filter-not-working/
I did select “Category – Current Category” and excluded the category i don’t want.
But all the categories show the same posts, it does not show posts of that category.

Thanks

Hello!
For cloud/PRO templates: you should add the sidebar from tagdiv Composer. Steps:
1. Add 1 row
2. Split into 2 columns( 2/3 + 1/3 )
3. You can add whatever you want into the second column and consider it a sidebar.
Take a look here in this video for example where I build 6 columns: https://www.screencast.com/t/mZ2c5XamTFN
Also, you can add a flex block with one post: https://www.screencast.com/t/lMTepr9Uwc
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hello!
A workaround there could be to use flex block 3 which is similar with Block 17.
You can make the same design from settings:
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HdB2YSlQ
– https://www.screencast.com/t/o5GfhCPrKg3
– fonts and color settings for the titles you can find in the tab Style of the element
Thank you!
Hello!
A workaround there could be to add a flex block with infinite loading in your homepage like this: https://www.screencast.com/t/bumAjCwVi3c7
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!

I feel certain I’ll benefit from understanding special filters – everything is so useful. But I don’t even know where to start to understand them – context – who is aiming to do what, where?
The documentation at https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ only states “Category Filter – Choose a specific category for the block from a drop-down menu containing all the existing categories.” Doesn’t mention the special filters.
I’m mystified. If I select “Current category” – it must know what the current category is – how does it know ? Is it to be used on a page where there is a category posts loop? because if i simply set a category in the Multiple taxonomies filter I get multiple categories.
Be great to get a full explanation.
Thanks!
I suppose I am looking for a block which has an option to actually run a post set in Post ID filter in a column on a page rather than doing an excerpt. While still using all the blocks down the side. I know I can post the text into a “column text” block but I’m perhaps being too fussy.
Perhaps this is because I don’t know how to get “Latest articles” and other blocks into the side bar of a post… I guess that would work.
thanks
Hi.
I have a little problem with Block 17 in Newspaper.
I limited the block to 9 posts, which makes great sense, and I think, it automatically should break after 4 posts, so it shows 4 posts in the last two colum? But there is no setting to do it.
But take a look here:

Hi Bettina,
I’m not asking if you could build it. I’m asking if there’s a way I can insert custom HTML into a block/area within the template editor.
Thanks.
Hello,
I can’t adjust the size of the logo block in the main page.
The problem is when I’m starting to do scroll.
Look at this picture:
https://www.dropbox.com/t/DSVG9Ju9jn9463I3
The image is uploaded as the specifyed sizes, so i don’t know how the meaning of this blank space.
Can you help me specifying how can I remove it?
Thanks

I have 2 licenses. There are several differences between the versions, and I have some difficult to configure the second license.
1) http://www.salutetoday.info it’s ok
2) http://www.vitadacani.info has problem
First installation has, for example, 25 block shortcodes. Second installation has only 5 block shortcodes.
First installation has 10 Big Grid Flex, 12 Big Grid and 10 Big Grid Full. Second installation has 10 Big Grid Flex, 0 Big Grid, 0 Big Grid Full.
If you want I can send you the screenshots, and the keywords to access to websites.
Thank you very much.
I have made a fix for the problem which entails adding a class (.fix-image) to each single image block without which none of the controls function. Here is the code:
.fix-image{ width: 100%;}
.fix-image div{ width: 100%;}
.fix-image img{ width: 100% !important;}
It would obviously be better if the native functionality was working.
Thx
Ian
