Note:
I think I’ve figure out how the templates translation works.
and error message disappeared from category pages.
Seems to be good for these 2 issues.
So I guess you can focus on the questions from my message:
“(…)
We’re using Flex Block 1 and Slide across several pages, including our homepage. However, even when we select “all categories,” no articles are displayed on these pages, despite having published some test articles.
Do you have any insight on why this might be happening?
What’s confusing is that on some other pages, the same setup works fine, which makes this inconsistency particularly frustrating.
Additionally, we have a question regarding category management: we’d like to display subcategories, but we want the last subcategory name to be shown instead of the top-level or alphabetically first category. How can we achieve this?
Thank you for your help!

Hello!
A workaround could be to edit the search template with the tagdiv Composer and use the Flex Loop Filters and Flex Loop shortcodes. In the Flex Loop Filters, add the slugs of your taxonomies, check the Multi option, and this will filter the search results.
Thank you!
Hello,
The theme and WordPress create thumbs.
For each thumbnail you enable, a copy of that image will be created. I recommend using Flex blocks instead of blocks 1-25, which are from the tagDiv standard pack and cannot be customized as a Flex Block. This plugin loads all the styles even if they are not used. Therefore, our theme creates thumbnails that are enabled in Theme Panel -> Block Settings => https://www.screencast.com/t/ZvDvpiBFKY3 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/. Additionally, WordPress creates thumbnails at https://www.screencast.com/t/AMVBOZWto. Our suggestion is to review the blocks you use and ensure that the thumbnails are active only for that particular use => https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/.
The tagDiv Composer is our page builder and it can be used for building pages and cloud templates, but not for creating posts. For this, you’ll need to use Gutenberg or a classic editor.
Using tagDiv Composer, you can build/edit the single post template (the layout of the posts).
Here is a video that will show you how to use the builder to create a website from scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg to do this you’ll need to have the posts already.
Thank you!
Hello,
I am trying to implement an events calendar on my website with either the Flex Block Builder or the Flex Loop Builder.
I would like to sort the events by a custom field “event date” (which is not the post’s published date). In the Flex Builder elements, I did not discover an option where this could be done.
In Elementor, I know that this can be done by entering a query string in the custom attributes (for instance a query like this: post_type=YOUR_CPT&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=YOUR_ACF_FIELD&order=asc).
My question is if there is a possibility to do this with your theme, directly or indirectly?
TIA
Hello everyone,
We’re encountering a second issue today, again related to categories, which seems to be causing significant trouble.
We’re using Flex Block 1 and Slide across several pages, including our homepage. However, even when we select “all categories,” no articles are displayed on these pages, despite having published some test articles.
Do you have any insight on why this might be happening?

Hello,
You can create a module template https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/ or import one and customize it https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Module and use Flex Block Builder to display it https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-builder-flex-loop-builder/
Thank you!
Hello everyone.
I would like your help in getting the Big Grid Flex 1 block to accept the native WordPress function of prioritizing listings via sticky posts. This would be important so that we can make the highlights wall on our portal’s home page flow better.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.
I have created a _page_ on which I would like to display a Big Grid Flex (x) on.
Not in front or at the end but in between the text itself.
Can you tell us how we can do that?
Thinking of an example when in Tagdiv Composer:
— start —
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam nec pretium leo, ut faucibus lorem. Etiam sit amet euismod erat, ac faucibus libero. Phasellus ac nunc feugiat purus hendrerit vulputate. Sed vel tortor tincidunt, aliquet nulla sed, viverra urna. Morbi vitae elementum odio. Proin imperdiet, nulla eget rutrum
[tagdiv ‘Big Grid Flex 5’ ‘cat id:11’]
Mauris sit amet porta velit. Curabitur efficitur quam et quam varius vulputate. Phasellus urna quam, pretium ac felis commodo, laoreet tincidunt est. Ut mattis tortor dolor, eget finibus dolor condimentum ut. Quisque aliquet
— eot —
Thanks.
When I go to the homepage, there are 5 posts, and I want to insert in-feed ads except for one post (I am using ‘Flex Block 3’). How can I do it? Please let me know.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/ranking-list-numbers-and-points-instead-of-stars/
Good morning,
A few weeks ago you showed me a CSS code that allows me to number a ranking or chart.
The problem is that I can no longer use this “Flex Builder/Flex Block 1-X” on any other page, as this enumeration is then ALWAYS displayed, even with normal content. However, this “Flex Block” is the only one that has all the functions I need to display content nicely.
Is there another individual CSS code that I can only use for the chart page?
I can then no longer use a “Flex Block”, as this numbering is then displayed everywhere. I am then limited to “Block 1-25” and “Big Grid Flex”, which is not ideal for my content.
Do you have any ideas on how I can solve this so that the numbering is only displayed in the charts overview? Thank you very much!
Best regards Frank
Hello,
I recommend creating your own module > https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/ because those blocks are created in the code, so you need to change you need to edit the files of the plugin.
Please edit module 2 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/edit-modules-flex-block-x/ and comment this section -> https://i.imgur.com/5dW8ye5.png and this section -> https://i.imgur.com/thY5Pu9.png
Thank you!
Hello,
For each category, on the flex block there is a special filter for the current category, which dynamically displays the posts from that category within each category.
The Posts Loop automatically filters the posts depending on the cloud template you set (for example, on the category page, there will be posted posts from that category) https://forum.tagdiv.com/posts-loop/
If there is an offset set, please check the block with “No posts” and delete it. Leave it empty with no space or value: https://app.screencast.com/Gh9jDf6t0XtLS
You can find the documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/
Thank you!
Hello,
You can set a video ad on the flex blocks -> https://i.imgur.com/bLf954N.png and posts loop.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please edit the search page with the tagdiv Composer, click on the results(Posts Loop element) and delete the value of the offset posts. Let it empty with no space no value: https://app.screencast.com/Gh9jDf6t0XtLS
If you use a flex block there, then please set the special filter there Search – Current search.
Save the changes and view the results.
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hello,
I recommend using another block, maybe a flex block 1 and design like this https://i.imgur.com/nIKIeFm.png
Thank you!
Hi, I have the same problem in two websites of a company ( https://banks.com.gr , https://insuranceworld.gr ). I’m using Search cloud template and flex block 1 (I tried posts loop also) to display search results. I set category filter to Search – Current search, sort order to latest and post type to post. The results aren’t in the right date order in both websites.
Then I had a look to a personal project without cloud templates ( https://zoumeoraia.okmarkets.gr ) and it does the same.
It’s very strange. I tried everything. Please help.
Hello,
1. Please let me know when you need the block replacements. You can choose what block you want from composer https://i.imgur.com/hV0E9kP.png -> https://i.imgur.com/yP29dQ9.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
2. To increase page speed, I recommend checking which thumbnails you are using on your blocks. You might want to avoid having all of them enabled and optimize and regenerate images. You can use the EWWW Image Optimizer for image optimisation, and the OMGF plugin for fonts. Additionally, you can use the WP Rocket plugin.
here are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us; you could check some of them

As I can see, only Flex Block has this option.
Hi, i try to show post in flex block 1 filter by tag, but not show anything. I have three post with the same tag but it doesn’t show them. My site is radio21tucuman.com. Thanks
Hi,
A workaround for want you need is to use the Multiple terms filter and set the IDs of your categories -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ “– This option allows you to filter the posts by multiple categories. The procedure is similar to the one used on the Post ID filter. Add the category IDs separated by commas (ex: 13,23,18). If you want to exclude categories, add a ‘-’ symbol in front of each ID. If you want to display posts from a category and remove the posts included in one of its sub-categories, first add the parent category ID (ex. Fashion category – 341) and after it, place the sub-category ID (ex. Daily subcategory id: 342) with a ‘-’ symbol in front. If you decide to use the ‘multiple taxonomies filter,’ the standard Category Filter is ignored.”
Thank you!
In the flex block 1 and flex block 2 blocks on the homepage if in the filter category I choose some categories even if there are articles it doesn’t show me anything
Hello!
I can see that you use the Slide shortcode and not the Revolution Slide plugin.
Did you apply the same filter for the slide as the filter from the flex block?
Thank you!
Hello,
So, should I understand that you did an update and your categories were deleted, or did you update and install a prebuilt website, and that’s when the problem appeared?
So, if you had a prebuilt website with content and organized the posts based on the imported categories, then when you installed a new prebuilt website, those categories were deleted. Therefore, you need to import only the templates, not an entire prebuilt website. Also, depending on your prebuilt website, you will need to edit the header template with tagDiv Composer and set a menu https://forum.tagdiv.com/main-menu/. Additionally, you will need to edit the page with tagDiv Composer, filter the blocks by your categories, and edit the titles-> https://i.imgur.com/cf4HzI4.jpeg -> https://i.imgur.com/izT4Q8q.jpeg https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
There is flex loop filters for flex loop builder. Is there anything similar for Post Loop block?
