Hello @tw144!
If you need the same settings in both flex blocks, then you can copy-paste the style or duplicate the element and place it where you need. Check this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/9HJqrbzU4 (right click on element)
Thank you!
I am using a prebuilt website from the Cloud library (Magazine PRO). To further customize my own page, I add elements to empty columns – in my case I am adding a Flex Block 3 element. The problem is that once it’s placed on my page, the style of that Flex Block is different from the style of the existing Flex Blocks (from the template). For example, the font is different, the spacing, the alignment etc. I would have expected that the added elements would adapt to the current template. Look at my screencast:

Any ideas? Thank you.
Hello Bettina,
To display the related articles and more from author, you can use Flex Block and filter it https://www.screencast.com/t/SEmxo13Fo2X -> https://i.imgur.com/YIg3nPP.png
To have more article box, you need to have the tagDiv Standard Pack activated.
Thank you!
Hello,
According to our documentation, the video pop up can be used only for the post that has the featured video format, also, on pages, this video pop up will work only on Flex Block elements -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
Thank you!
Hello Mauro!
1. By default the News ticker has the filter with all categories and with sort order = latest articles. Also, for the elements flex, grid. If you want to set a max number of posts which are displaying in the block, then you can use the limit. You can use other block for min number with the same filter and order. Please note that you can’t have more filters in a single element.
2. You can’t achieve this with the basic settings from these elements.
Please note that customization is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/

Hello Bettina,
sorry, probably i’m not explain well
I have two problem:
1) I have to put a more complex way of filtering the “latest posts” inside the newsticker element (but also for the others news/flex/grid block element).
If i set “latest” in the filter i want also to choose the max number of the “latest” article for every category.
For example: i want that newsticker element give me the latest articles 7 articles, but not only filtered by timing, but also for mininum post.
Into Newsticker element i wanto to display: 3 latest articles of Category 1, 2 Latest articles of Category 2, 2 Latest articles of Category 3 and so on.
Is it possible?
Now i can’t choose the max articles number. So if i have the latest articles in the same category i display only the articles form that category. I want to show the latest article but of all the articles
2) I want to edit the Flex Block/Grid Block element via code. I want to display more data into the articles meta and, also, in differents positions. I show you a screen. I want to obtain something like this. (my additions are in red)
https://i.postimg.cc/zvN8KXkG/example-of-flex-modified.jpg
In the image you see “INGEGNERIA” that is one of the category of the articles. I want to add here another category modifing the .php file, and also add the date of the article in this position.
How can i achive this?
Thank u again and sorry for my english
Mauro
Hello Mauro!
I’m sorry, but I can’t understand what you mean by “if can choose the number of post for the single category”. Also, Newsticker element can not be modified with flex block.
Please provide more information about the issue or what you need to achieve, screenshots or a video and your website link.
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.
Thank you!
Hi, and thanks for your reply!
The filters are setted like the guide says, but i’d ask if can choose the number of post for the single category (i suppose is impossible).
Example: Newsticker module, i want to display 4 news from category 1, 2 for category 2 and 2 for category 3.
Btw: Any info for the change of the Flex Block or Grid Flex Block?
Thank u again,
Mauro
Hello @maurosquare!
Please check this guide and the filters here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
You can use more flex blocks with limit 1 and filter by a category, or using offsets , so in this mode you can have each block from different category.
Thank you!
Hi,
i would to know if is possible to edit the Flex Block or Big Grid Flex module of the Tag Div Composer.
For example:
i would to display a second category near the first category of the block. Or, another example, to insert the date near the category (above the title) and not under the title. Is it possible?
I searched on the folder of the plugin, found a lot of info for the other modules, but not for this.
I can i achive this?
Another Question.
Is possible to obtain a filter with a minimum of post?
Example: I want a Flex Block with latest news of all categories, but i want 3 to be by category 1, 2 from category 2, 2 from category 3 and so on.
Thank for your time and support
Hi,
There are a few example for the big grid flex in this article https://tagdiv.com/try-new-flexible-big-grids-with-newspaper-theme/ and for flex block here https://tagdiv.com/discover-flex-blocks-customization/ In the time, there were added a few more options on them.
Normally, the big grid flex will display an image and the title, author… will be display over the image, using a flex block the title, author… can be display around the image an with some of the flex over the image.
Also you can check our documentation for them:
– Big Grid Flex Settings
– Flex Block Settings Guide
Thank you!
Is there a page that demos all the different Big Grid Flex or flex blocks? It would be nice to see what they would look like instead of randomly clicking them.
Hi,
1. If the “Insider Buying” is a subcategory of the “Stock Ideas” then this will be display in it as a subcategory post.
2. I think that for this you have two options. To make a page for each subcategory and set there a flex block with the filters that you want. Or you can make a different cloud category for each subcategory and replace the post loop with the flex block and filter it after the subcategory you want to display (by default filtering after the current category can display posts from subcategories too).
Thank you!
Hi iamratnesh, this is because you are using for all image another background image, this one -> https://i.imgur.com/2rcdbTo.png -> https://i.imgur.com/fjTvOYm.png
What you can do is to find from where is coming that background image and remove it or you can use a css for the flex block 1 -> https://i.imgur.com/vELTd0I.png
.td_flex_block_1 .td_module_wrap .td-image-wrap:before {
border-radius: 30px;
}
Set the code in the theme panel > custom code> custom css.
I hope this will help you!
1) Also, can you please send me the default settings (dimensions) for each Grid so I don’t have to fiddle with the others if I want to use them?
2) I changed the dimensions for Big Grid Flex 2, but now all of the grids have those dimensions! That means I have to change the dimensions every time I load a new grid? When I had the Newspaper Pro pre-built, it automatically optimized the grid every time I loaded it.
Hi,
In mega menu will not work, only in page per flex blocks that have the video popup option -> https://i.imgur.com/7DP044H.png
Thank you!
Hello @michaeldef!
You can modify the grid height as in this documentation for big grid flex 1: https://forum.tagdiv.com/big-grid-flex-settings/
Thumb’s dimension here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately, you can’t use a flex block or other block to display a page.
Thank you!
I have a problem with the use of some of my Big Grid Flex selections. See the ones (3,5,7,9) that don’t layout the images correctly – https://www.screencast.com/t/nno2jRmdK. I started with Newspaper Pro where they all worked correctly, and then when I switched to Mag Pro, some stopped working. Ideally, I need Big Grid Flex 3 because the images feeding into it are 16:9, and none get cut off when I use that one.

I am trying to add a flex box or big box to my homepage and show pages instead of posts. Is this possible?
Hello @dobriyalji!
The blocks can be done with our flex blocks.
You can place a sidebar very easy using our builder the tagdiv Composer plugin.
For example, you can 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 element 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
The line can be a “separator” element(can be founded with the exactly that name on Composer). Inline texts, Categories/tags list elements can be used for the headers of the blocks line.
A shortcode can be inserted by using the element called “Column text” or “Text with title”. For example, in the step3 here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-cryptocurrency-price-ticker-widget/
For more customizations, 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/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
Check also our video tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/c/tagdivThemes/videos and more theme documentation on the left side: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
You can import a cloud template or if you’ll like some sections from a demo, than you can find that section in the Cloud Templates or you can do it from scratch also by importing a blank template: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hello @gawhspawprintsweekly!
We have an option to hide images: https://www.screencast.com/t/FxJtTdCx4FLSbut from all images from the block and not only for one.
A workaround there could be to add 2 flex blocks. In the first flex block, add the id of that article and offset 1, so it will display only one post on that flex block and choose the option to hide the image. Add the second flex block and you can filter -ID post, so in that flex block won’t display the article which has no image.
Thank you!
Hello,
You can apply a filter on the flex block using Post Id, Category, by tag slag -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/big-grid-flex-settings/
Thank you!
Hello
Is it possible to disable thumbnails on posts without a featured image? I use flex block to showcase my recent posts on my main page, but I may not have an image prepared for some posts. So, I was wondering if tagDiv has an option or CSS
that can disable thumbnails for posts without images.
For reference, my website is: pawprintsweekly.org
