Hi,
i need (search) a flexblock for the sidebar with the TOP5 Reviews in on Categorie.
The block should contain five articles, one below the other, with small images and the text next to the small (round) image.
Which block and which settings should I use? I know how to display only the reviews.
Thanks in advance.
Environment
Newspaper 12.7.1 (fix claimed in 12.6.9)
WP 6.4.2, PHP 8.x
Permalinks: “/%category%/”
All caching/minification plugins disabled; server cache purged
Issue
On two independent sites, Posts Loop 2 still renders only a handful of posts on the front end—even though the Composer preview shows the full list.
Workaround
Switching to the Flex Loop Builder block surfaces all posts correctly.
Expected
Posts Loop 2 on category templates should output all posts exactly as shown in the preview.

Thanks for looking into restoring full loop support!
Hi Badri,
For the logo part, you should use tagDiv Composer, select the row that is holding the row and stretch it https://imgur.com/hpDp0E3
For the title to align it to left with the featured image, you should check the settings of the flex block 1, you have set a padding 25px 0 0 64px for meta info https://i.imgur.com/tc2GhbY.png
Thank you!
Hi,
I made a similar situation, but for me, the results are like this https://i.imgur.com/w2jpvHy.png. Please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a temporary wp-admin access to investigate the settings of the flex block element.
Thank you!
Hello,
This is an excellent solution!
But i face another problem now:
I have created a page with a “Flex Box 1” style, where the above solution with the drop-down sub-menu works great!
But when i connect this page with a Menu Item, the drop-down remains one column.
Except from this issue, as you see, Post categories of the Flex Box are shown over the drop-down panel.
Is there a fix to this?
Thank you!
Hello,
From what I’ve read, most of the recommendations have already been made on the site: object cache plugin, cache on flex blocks, cache plugin….
What I would recommend is a dev/staging where you can do some tests, for example try using a demo with classic templates like the Local News demo, but this should be tested only on dev or staging, not on live. And tested using the tagDiv Composer and tagDiv Standard Pack plugin, without any other plugins. Then, compared with the results on live.
Thank you!
Hi there at tagdiv,
I am troubleshooting my website https://regioonline.nl, a newssite with 64 subpages and 50.000+ posts. The databaseservice mariadb gets killed every day a few times when working in the backend. At first I was using a VPS with 16 CPU core and 60GB RAM, and now a shared hosting with 24 CPU core and 16GB RAM. In both cases the database issue is persistent, only on the (unmanaged) VPS the mariadb.service was not automaticly restarted (had to restart the server). I had someone managing that VPS for me, but he got another job (so I moved to shared hosting). Now I am more up to speed about use a Linux VPS (Debian 12) with Plesk and SSH, but still figuring things out before moving the site back again.
The site has a big database (3.2GB) with the main table being postmeta (2.7GB), serving all images from Google Drive through a plugin (WP Media Folder+addon).
With the use of Code Profiler and Query Monitor I am troubleshooting for main issues. All my (sub)pages generate about 459 Query’s per page of witch 416 are from td-composer (see https://prnt.sc/lwOgOlsnsEf2
The page I measured this on was https://www.regioonline.nl//regio-tilburg/, but all (sub)pages (see https://regioonline.nl/regiopagina/) are with the same result. The homepage is even a bit larger
On the mentioned page of Tilburg I disabled all Ajax pagination and block caching.
Using any caching solution (be it with plugins like WP Rocket or WP Supercache, or using serverside caching options like Varnish, Redis Object Cache or OPcache) will make the issue of the database server getting killed a lot worse. Ofcourse tried every combination possible, but only not caching anything, reduces the issue to a few times a day, instead off every 20 minutes or so.
Is this a question of too many blocks on a page (disabled block caching for Flex Blocks aswell) so td-composer generate that many query’s? What is the best option to reduce this to an acceptable level, not killing the databaseservice every time?
Do I need to tune down the number of topics/blocks on every page? Do I need to reduce the number of pages?
Good to now that every menuitems has it’s own seperat link. I also tried the deactivate all (sub)pages except the homepage and made links to to automatic generated category pages of every item, but even did not solve the issue.
Hope you can help me a few steps further, or can give any advise on how to proceed. If I tune down on settings, blocks and pages, is this info removed from the database (mainly postmeta) also? If not, how can I solve that?
Sorry for the bloat of information, but I am hoping to make the issue clear. I know this is not only a theme issue, so I have already contacted several pluginbuilders also. This helped already in reducing databasequery’s.
Hello there and congratulations for such an incredible theme!
Question:
I have a Flex Block.
Is it possible (through Theme settings or css) to display Filter -> Ajax categories dropdown in more rows instead of “More” link.
The reason i want to achieve this, is because the dropdown has many categories.
Suggestion:
Again in Ajax categories dropdown -> More -> Drop down window, i don’t see a css “Overflow” rule. Is it possible to add it in the future?
Thank you!
Hi, I’m using the Big Grip Flex 9 module on my home page to display the latest main articles.
I would like to know if there is a way to use this module and insert a live video from Twitch every time we start broadcasting?
Many thanks
Hi,
Normally you don’t have to do anything special to get an image ad displayed. If you use an ad box and you set an image in it https://prnt.sc/P5Kkpks4uOVw that ad box appears on all devices by default. That would be all there is to it.
And the flex block 2 element should indeed work fine. It’s probably something caused by the design set for it. Does it work if you place a new block and click on the image? Sometimes positioning elements over the image with margins and padding can make the image unclickable.
We can take a closer look at both these issues directly on your website. We will need admin login, please send the user and pass by email at contact@tagdiv.com and please also include a link to this topic in the email. Then we can get to the bottom of both these issues.
Thanks.
I’m trying to create an elementary image ad, but I’m running into problems. For some reason, the image is only visible on desktops and is hidden on all other devices. I tried to unhide everything with the following CSS code:
/* Force Newspaper ad boxes to be visible on all devices */
.td-ad-hidden,
.td-visible-desktop,
.td-visible-tablet,
.td-visible-mobile {
display: block !important;
visibility: visible !important;
opacity: 1 !important;
height: auto !important;
width: 100% !important;
position: static !important;
}
/* Remove any hiding by parent container */
@media (max-width: 1024px) {
.td-ad-hidden,
.td-visible-desktop,
.td-visible-tablet,
.td-visible-mobile {
display: block !important;
}
}
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.td-ad-hidden,
.td-visible-desktop,
.td-visible-tablet,
.td-visible-mobile {
display: block !important;
}
}
This code should disable every hiding present, but it does not.
The website is eldia.uy. I am getting tired of your code not working as expected. I still have a Flex 2 block that is not working, and your only response was: It should work.

I have a question regarding the process of publishing posts by directly copying content from Microsoft Word into a new post, including all associated images.
Due to tight time constraints in creating, uploading images and publishing our news summaries, we are currently using a less-than-ideal workaround — converting the Word document into a PDF and publishing that instead. While functional, this method is not very professional and limits our presentation flexibility.
Could you advise if there’s a more efficient and professional way to directly publish from Word, with images included, into our post editor? Please let me know if there are any solutions, alternative solutions, or possible solutions after a little customization.
Here is an example of our current approach:
https://www.thaienquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Thai-Enquirer-News-Summary-July-11-2025.pdf
My website is https://ayurvedafordiabetes.com. I am facing following issues
Issue 1 : I want to add adsense ad code in this area. How to do it. Snapshot link as below :
https://ayurvedafordiabetes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/adsense.png
Issue 2 : I have create a category named “Exclusive” and added some posts in it. Now when i select category “Exclusive” in flex block 2, posts under exclusive category doesn’t appear here. Offset valus is also zero. Snapshot attached :
https://ayurvedafordiabetes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/exclusive.png
Issue 3 : I want to delete inn column but it is not getting deleted due to which lots of empty space showing in the website. Kindly tell how to delete inner column. Snapshot is attached :

Kindly resolve above 3 issues with my site.
Hi Sangar,
Please edit your cloud category template with tagDiv Composer – https://i.imgur.com/RyWhHlH.png and if you are using flex blocks make sure that in tab filter you are using the current category filter https://i.imgur.com/flBu7Gm.png , or you can use the post loop filter, this will automatically display the correct articles for each category.
Hi Ericky,
I thin that instead of starting to make change in the code for the plugin (https://forum.tagdiv.com/edit-modules-flex-block-x/) it will be better to use the ACF plugin and create your own CPT and taxonomies, this will allow you to set theme easy and faster.

Hi,
Yes, this can be done using cloud template sand tagDiv Composer. You need to use a flex block in sidebar and use the special filters – https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ – https://i.imgur.com/elBLXrl.png – https://i.imgur.com/6JSFNax.png each filter should be set on respective cloud template (single filter on single post template, category, on category cloud template …)
Thank you!
i even removed the popup button at my this site”https://myhealthyflexs.com/” you can check it here but this error still over there.
Kindly refer my website https://ayurvedafordiabetes.com/. At the top right corner, at flex block 1. No posts are showing where in category filter, i have selected “All Category” and in sort order, i have selected “Random Posts”. I can share my username and password of wordpress if required.
Hello,
Thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately, I tried several plugins but none of them are compatible with the Newspaper theme because it does not use the standard WordPress functionalities.
I would have needed the possibility to do this implementation because it is quite important, but I do not know how I could achieve the desired result because of all the customizations of the theme.
I use Flex Loop Filter for taxonomy filtering and Flex Loop Builder for displaying the results. Which, the results are a series of ads created through the APP Pro plugin from TagDiv, where I created a series of custom fields with ACF. I also want to filter the results based on 2 custom fields called “price” and “year of manufacture” but I did not find any possibility to implement it.
Do you have any idea how I could achieve such a result? Maybe you know something that is compatible with the Newspaper theme.
Thanks,
Hi,
the most simple and fastest way is with this custom css:
.td_block_tabbed_content .td_module_flex_1 .td-module-meta-info{
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
Another solution is to use the module builder to create your own modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme do not have this option, can filter only using taxonomies.
Indeed, the Filter Everything plugin is the one used in those situations, just teste it with more elements, foe example test it with flex block 1, with normal loop, is possible with flex block builder to not work.
Thank you!
Hi perspektive,
If you need to set the caption on images that are displaying in blocks, then it will be need to use the module builder and ACF plugin. Use the ACF to add an extra filed (text) were to set the text you want to be display for the featured image, after that create your own module and add the element custom filed, and select the one you added and set it with Flex Block Builder.
I hope this will help you!
Hi,
The flex block 2 do not have an option for auto slide, but if you need that option you can use the slide element – https://i.imgur.com/gwPG5XD.png or if you prefer the RevSlider.
Thank you!
Hey there,
I am using your Tabbed Content element in TagDiv Builder on the following page:
https://vo.questitdev.eu/kentriki/
Can you please tell me how can make the date on the posts to the left (on all three tabs) to be on top of the post title?
These 3 tabs are pages that use flex 1 element.
Hi,
I have a situation with a website for which I created 6 custom taxonomies and I want to filter the results based on custom_fields created via ACF plugin.
Is there a way to creat such a filter? Or do you have any suggestions for me so i can implement this filter?
So, instead of filtering by those custom taxonomies, can I filter by custom_field or create filters on the values set in custom_field on the ranges entered by the client? I mean, to have 2 search fields for price – from and to. Let the user enter price from 8000 and filter all ads that have set custom_field = price greater than 8000. Is that possible?
Something like this https://prnt.sc/WPJThJdsm1MT – created with Filter Everything plugin – I’ve tested it with the theme, but the results do not filter.
