Hello, I’m using Newspaper template. Now I want to create a feature that when user hover on an image in block (Flex block, Big Grid Flex,..) then a short video will be played (similar this: https://www.crazygames.com). So how to do this? Thank you.
Hello,
1. Yes, I am using two flex blocks but need the first to show ONLY the latest STICKY post, not the other several posts from that day that may be posted after. The other flex block uses the offset feature.
2. I have the cloud template assigned https://prnt.sc/v4HiBBs6kO5v to Durant Hugo https://vypeplusok.com/category/durant-hugo/ but it does not affect categories with no template assigned such as https://vypeplusok.com/category/players-to-watch/
I understand Bettina. For a post to be displayed twice is a dealbreaker. Is there something me or the theme’s development team can do to tackle this bug?
In the end of the day, I want to use Flex Block or Posts Loop to display all of the posts of a single category with random order and pagination at the same time. I do not think that this is a special request.
Thank you your fast reply Bettina!
I am using the Flex Block with only one filter and the result I am getting is the one described in my original post. You can see the Flex Block 1 configuration here. Did I do something wrong in the configuration?
In the url you provided, it states clearly “Do not use this sorting option together with pagination as it could result in duplicate posts.”. So, there is no way at all to use the Flex Block with random sort order and pagination at the same time? If so, I think it is a very weird limitation. Haven’t seen such a limitation on other WordPress themes like Avada or in PHP Frameworks like CodeIgniter. I am sure there is something the development team can do to fix this bug.
Hello @agiannaros !
You can use a flex block with only one filter, and it will work. The random sort will not take into account which post will be displayed. Read all about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello @liliaf !
1. Use two flex blocks, for example. The first can be limited to showing only one post, and the second can display the rest of them with offset 1. https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/ https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
2. Please assign a cloud template when you view it in frontend: https://prnt.sc/LG-galJ02Fay
Thank you!
Hello everyone,
I am a newbie when it comes to your theme and the tagDiv Composer. Though I believe there is still some way to go regarding the development of the tagDiv Composer, I find it a very good builder that has all the required elements to build a news portal. My first attempt at utilizing your Newspaper theme to build such a portal is with the http://www.vasilisaivalis.gr website.
On the aforementioned site, I have created a Category template using the Cloud templates. This template utilizes the Flex Block 1 to present some people (candidates). Each person (candidate) on this list has a single post dedicated to him. So, the Flex Block 1 takes on the task of presenting all the posts that belong to the post category “Candidates” and it does that in a very good way.
A required characteristic of this presentation is that the Candidates (posts that belong on the post category named “Candidates”) are being displayed in a random order rather than alphabetically, time added or any other way for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, the “random” sort order does not work as intended. To be more specific, I guess there is a bug due to which some of the 111 candidates (the plan is that another 70 candidates at least will be added on the list) appear twice on the list (or three times I guess). Therefore, if candidate A appears on the list twice, in addition to the obvious problem that arises, there will be on candidate from the rest that will never appear because his slot will be taken from the candidate A. It seems like the database query that is being sent when loading more candidates via pagination method does not take into account the candidates (posts) that already appeared. Screenshot of the problem here.
Am I doing something wrong with the Flex Block 1 configuration? I guess if this bug actually existed then someone would have already brought it to your attention and you would have already fixed it. Using the Posts Loop widget would be more than fine for me but it does not seem to provide the random sort option at all. The initial Newspaper theme deployment was at version 12.5 and I just upgraded it to 12.5.1 but nothing changed. The WordPress core is at version 6.3.
I would be more than happy to provide administrator credentials to the support staff of the development team if needed. Until the problem is fixed, I am using the Posts Loop 2 widget with the “oldest posts” sort order.
Thank you for taking the time to read my topic.
Hello,
For the category template, please use posts loop; if you have set a posts loop then will display all posts in this category or you can use Flex Block/Big Grid Flex and set the filter to “Category -Current category” => https://i.imgur.com/7P99qx0.png and this is why the block will display posts for each category. So, please check the settings.
Thank you!
I create my home page with TagDiv Composer.
This page contains many article lists from different topics. To title the section I use the “Title” shortcode and to display the articles I use a flex-block.
In the mobile view, I want that when scrolling, the title always remains visible while scrolling over the article list. The title should then disappear again when a new area is reached while scrolling.
Is this implementable with the features provided?
Thanks for the support.
Hi,
can you show me, how I can change the position of the Rating/Review Starts like in my Screenshot?
I use Flex Block 1
Thank you!

I’m adding a flex block for breaking news on the home page. We’ll be using this rarely; only when there’s a very important “breaking” story.
The concept is to display this block only when there is at least one post in the category “breaking news.” If there are no matches, the block should not be displayed.
How can this be done?
Is there a better way to handle breaking news-type events?

Hi,
I am struggling to setup my website by using a mobile page. I do not want to use the mobile plugin, since I find it not very flexible. I managed to figure out how to get a mobile theme, header and footer, but the follwing is happening:
When I edit the mobile page and save, the mobile template is seen on both desktop as mobile.
When I login again and edit the desktop version, the desktop version is seen on both tablet as mobile.
I clear cache every time and also when I am logged in it looks like everything is fine (mobile page on mobile and desktop view on desktop) But when I log out, i get the situation as described. It’s very slowly driving me insane and I would appreciate some insights and directions.
Hello!
You can exclude it from blocks by “-ID”. Check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
In posts form taxonomies I have categories and sub-categories. a person can select multiple times and submit the article.
On a search page – access to all visitors – I use Flex Loop Filters. each taxonomy slug is set to dropdown Multiple select.
When someone choose category taxonomy the result is shown instant with the Flex Loop Builder.
Only when a category taxonomy has sub-category taxonomies, the shown results are not correct.
I expect when the category is chosen, all sub-categories will show up – along side the category – in the result section.
What I get is different. All results with the taxonomy category do show.
Results that only have a subcategory taxonomy will not show.
Results with a subcategory must have the category linked to them as well.
This goes against the principle of hierarchical structure, which implies this category and subcategory structure and why it is done in the first place.
What am I overlooking, what changes need to be done to get this to work??
Hi
If I key in the post number into the Post ID filter. For example 11792 it deletes the block. Doesn’t show that post number. If I want to exclude certain posts and I key in -11792 it also deletes the whole block.
I can only filter by category. But want to exclude some posts from Flex Blocks and in one Flex Block only show number 11792.
Please help
Hello!
It seems that this option is missing. Please use a flex block instead.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello,
We do not recommend setting two posts loop on the same page/template, please use a flex block or another block, because most of the settings from the first loop element will be set for the second one.
You can use a flex block only on the category pages with its special filter: current category: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello!
Oh, sorry it was a misunderstanding. We have a new block that you can use and customize more: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-builder-flex-loop-builder/
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!
If I select the Hidden option, it hides all the POSTS – images, title, and author name.
I Would like to keep the POST image & title.
In this instance, I’m using Flex Block 1. It does not have a separate element for the Author – it all appears as one.
Any other possible solutions?
Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply.
Sorry I have now shared the image from the previous message.
I have already done everything you advised me for bookmark and flexbock.
What I want is to modify the bookmark icon on the flexblocks. How to choose an other bookmark icon not on single post but on flexblocs ?
Here the bookmark does not appear on flexblock if the image is hidden.
Thanks
Hello!
Access is denied for that image, so I can’t see it.
You can change it while you edit the article with the TagDiv Composer, just click here: https://prnt.sc/utNmwD8D9McG
Here are the settings in a flex block: https://prnt.sc/C_O_mQNwELme -> https://prnt.sc/lzQAJPm4NeBh
Yes, you can hide the image, and the bookmark post will appear.
Also, we have a new block that you can use and customize more: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-builder-flex-loop-builder/
So, you do not need code in order to personalize the flex block.
Thank you!
Hello,
On Single Post it’s possible to choose the icon of the bookmark (photo)
How do the same on Flex Block ? I want to only change the icon, i don’t need more text.
I have to add personalized code ? Can you give me the name of the parameter i have to change ?
And on the flex block it’s possible to see the bookmark when the image is hide? When i hide the image the bookmark don’t appear.
Thanks.
Hi,
How can I change the Stars Rating/Review Color from Black to Gold?
Thank you!
Hello @pwisker !
If you will use the flex block 1, then there are a lot of filters which you can apply: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
