Hi, when using a block, for instance, Flex Block 1, and at Layout selecting the “Show Button” to “Show”, it displays the button below image and above the Title and the Excerpt. Is there a way to move the button above the title? I tried with css but it doesn’t look right moving it so much up. Please advice. TY
Hello! Is there any way to create a filter with a date range in a category template? Example: I would like to create the possibility for the reader to filter posts from the ‘Sports’ category by a certain date range (with start / end date of publication). I tried using flex-loop-filters on the category template, but it doesn’t seem to solve this issue.
Hi, when using a block, for instance, Flex Block 1, and at Layout selecting the “Show Category” to “Show”, would it be possible to linking the Category showed on the Block directly to the latest post posted on the category, instead of linking back to the Category Page? I’d like to be able to link a category directly to a post, so a reader will read the post instead of having to go to the category page showing all posts. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I recommend to use the flex block builder and create a module -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/ here you can set the color for icons -> https://i.imgur.com/Brcmymq.png
Thank you!
Good morning,
can you help me, maybe with a css code, how I can set the review stars color in yellow?
I only can set this color in the Flex Block 1, but in this Case on my index Page, I need the Flex block X.

Thank you!

Hello!
Check out this thread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fonts-reset/
These blocks don’t have the preload option like flex blocks.
Thank you!
Hi TagDiv, I have some queries…
Is there a known fix for the issues on the screenshot, mainly concerning the font files (ex. can we add “font-display: swap;”).
Here are the links to the files in question:

Also, the element ‘Big Grid Flex 3’, doesn’t allow content preloading as the other block elements. I provided screenshots as examples.

Is there a known way of preloading this grid and its elements?

Hi Bettina. More info on the flex loop filters, but with a different site this time … Arlington Magazine. Here is a video that shows the issue:
https://www.loom.com/share/0b4a0a32247a4bc3b6975e0ddd1499b2?sid=0e4b16be-d9d5-40b6-9652-191ff263300b
Please note that the URL in question right now is https://staging.arlingtonmagazine.com/listings/top-doctors/, but we are launching the site live today so the URL will be https://www.arlingtonmagazine.com/listings/top-doctors/ after we launch.
The flex loop filter element is “preselecting” the first value … Addiction Medicine. The filter hasn’t actually been applied yet, but it’s displaying the first value. Instead, it should be displaying — Select Category — … you’ll see this behavior in the video.
This seems to only happen when the filter is a category … when the URL needs to change to the proper category slug. It doesn’t seem to happen when the filter is a tag because in that case TagDiv handles the filter as URL parameters.
Anyway, please check the video. We’re going to launch this today with the dropdown so that your team can look at it. But we’ll need to change it back to the buttons soon because of this bug.
BTW, the buttons aren’t really an option because this list has a LOT of categories that make it too long for mobile. We really need to display this filter as a dropdown as soon as the bug is fixed.
Thanks and have a great day!

Hi,
Any chance that at least the header title problem and the change in the url for the « non multi mode » could be fixed in the next release? The flex loop filters is not functional and it prevents us to using it even though it is essential to us.
Regards.
Hi Bettina,
Thank you for your reply.
(1) According to colors and images: Please read back my message… colors and images are already set correctly for the taxonomies but they do not display. Do the test on your end with the pa_lang taxonomy from woocommerce. The image doesn’t show. But it works fine in the woocommerce filters in the store. So there is a bug with the flex loop filters
(2) No, we cannot use inline text when there are more than 1 filter. The numerous headers are within the block for each filter. So the inline texts cannot be added inside the block. Please have the “post_type” name removed from the header… it makes no sense. Or add the ability to attach a header title for each filter.
(3) You wrote “Normally, if you have more than one filter, you should check the option “Multi.””. Allow me to disagree with you. This is not the way it should work as it is not logical. You can check how other filters work (ie. woocommerce). It is not logicial to consider that filters have to add up. Most of the time it is not case and it messes the results returned. Please consider fixing this. Report to the developers, I’m sure they will agree.
Regards.
Hello,
There are multiple bugs with the flex loop filters:
(1) the filters work fine when we activate the “multi” option, but if we deactivate it, then the filters don’t work anymore.
For instance, I use the pa_lang as taxonomy:
– when the “multi” option is activated, then url shows the right condition : ?tdb_tax_pa_lang=english
– but if the “multi” option is deactivated, it writes an incorrect condition in the url : ?taxonomy=pa_lang&term=anglais (instead of tdb_tax_pa_lang=english)
(2) Filters can be displayed through 5 options (button, dropdown, dropdown search, color, image).
– if color or image are selected they don’t show.
(3) The headers of the filters cannot be edited. A wrong text is displayed as the post type is automatically added to the name filter.
– For instance, if I add the language filters (pa_lang from woocommerce), the header reads “Product Language” instead of “Language” alone, and there is no way to edit this.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
Please try to use this code
html[lang="ar"] .td_block_popular_categories a{
display: flex;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
width: 100%;
text-align: right;
}
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately, we don’t have this option to extend the default theme breakpoints. This will require a pretty big amount of custom work.
You can stretch the rows and you can change the width for each column to do as you want or set the inner row https://i.imgur.com/zZnu0nr.png
You can find more details here https://imgur.com/QXIt4Gy -> https://tagdiv.com/flexibility-rows-columns-newspaper-theme/
-> https://tagdiv.com/how-to-add-delete-and-duplicate-row-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
Thanks!
But now I want to set the title inside te Flex where the arrow is: https://imgur.com/a/DL8tAqz
How can I do that?
I need help with some items with the newspaper theme. 1 – how do I make a shortcode work in the mobile plugin? my home has the status of the trains. It’s a box with a green, red or yellow ball.
2 – on the first page of the mobile home, it shows my posts ok. but I have a cpt for traffic, how do I make the traffic post appear on the mobile plugin home in the first highlighted rectangle?
3 – I am creating a cpt for events and I know that the flex build does not search for custom fields, any tips on what I should do to achieve this?
4 – where do I have a documentation of the theme styles? for example I want to create an alert box in the post, how do I do it? type tip, warning or suggestion… within the article.
5 – google always complains about big dom, how to fix it?
My website is: https://www.abctudo.com.br/
Hello!
Of course. There are options to create a header for the flex block 1 with a custom title: https://app.screencast.com/wFRM1XMxSUgWV
Thank you!
Thanks!
It is possible to use the title with a flex block?
Hi,
You can add this to the code foe color color: #d2dae1;
.td_flex_block_1 {
counter-reset: section; /* Initialize the counter */
}
.td_module_flex::before {
counter-increment: section; /* Increment the counter */
content: counter(section) ". "; /* Display the counter value followed by a dot and space */
color: #d2dae1;
}
Thank you!
Ok, here is a code that you can use on that page:
.td_flex_block_1 {
counter-reset: section; /* Initialize the counter */
}
.td_module_flex::before {
counter-increment: section; /* Increment the counter */
content: counter(section) ". "; /* Display the counter value followed by a dot and space */
}
IT will be indicate to add an extra class on the block you want to use the css and replace the td_flex_block_1 that is a general class and the code will apply on all modules from those blocks (example class – https://i.imgur.com/8Pfdwlx.png)
I hope this will help you!
Hi,
Can you please provide an example? Did you configure the filter on each block? you can apply filters on the blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Thanks, but I’m not sure in which field I should add the -ID.
I tried to add in Flex Block 1 / Filter / Multiple terms filter: -489
But it doesn’t work.
Then I tried to add in Exclude custom field and it doesn’t work too.
What I did wrong?
Hi,
You need to replace the block and delete it with a right click.
You can use big grid flex 1 https://i.imgur.com/bUoOHhY.jpeg
Thank you!
Hello,
The numbers from modules can be achieved using a custom css or using the module from flex block builder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/
Now in case that you are referring to this block – https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/the css for it is at the bottom of the column – https://i.imgur.com/sYuBO7G.png setting the css from there in the theme panel should resolve the problem.
Thank you!
