Hi,
The Flex Block doesn’t have this option, only the Slide block has -> https://i.imgur.com/nxwlJk6.png please try it.
Thank you!
Hello,
Yes, we recommend flex blocks, instead of blocks 1-25;
Thank you!
I understood what MAG is trying to do. I want the same. We don’t need infinite loading, we want to use the NEXT/PREV pagination as the “slide” element works, where you dont’t need to click the arrows to the next slide, they move to the next post automatically.
I want the next posts in the “Flex Block” to appear automatically.
Hi,
This is the best update till date. You guys took flexibility and scalability to another level. The module builder is a game changer, Job Hunt demo is literally world class, multiple taxonomy is finally implemented and the modals now lazy load, the bookmarks, list menu, and what not.
Thanks a lot guys. Thanks for doing all this for a fraction of the cost.
Cheers to the entire team. Convey my regards to all.
Good day.
We can solve the problem using flex block 1, so our appologies.
Kind regards
Ana Picado
Hello,
Each thumb that you have enabled, will create a copy of that images. II recommended using the Flex blocks, instead of blocks 1-25; those are from the tagDiv standard pack and can’t be customized as a Flex Block; this plugin loads all the styles even if it is not used;
So, our theme make thumbs which are enabled in Theme Panel -> Block Settings => https://www.screencast.com/t/ZvDvpiBFKY3 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Also, WordPress creates thumbs => https://www.screencast.com/t/AMVBOZWto
Our suggestion is to take a look at what blocks you use and make sure that the thumbs are active only for that=> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Thank you!
Hi,
You can use flex block instead of posts loop. Explore the filters here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Choose only one category from the filter settings and it will display the posts which have that category.
Also, to have a button please select header template 12 -> https://i.imgur.com/wIE3ghc.png
Thank you!
Hi there
Sorry for the delay.
We have conducted further investigation and wanted to share some additional insights with you:
Specifically, during the rendering process of the images, there appears to be a lack of reserved space for the images within the Flex Block. As a result, the post is generated before the image finishes rendering, and this leads to the default thumbnail image not being displayed because of the missing fixed image-container size
We have tried adjusting various settings within the TagDiv Composer and explored the theme’s options, but we have not found a solution to mitigate this problem. Image width and hight can only be set in percentage.
Let me know if you still need Admin access to investigate this.
We believe that it is more a general issue with the time between importing posts, generating thumbnails and offloading images to a CDN and the missing reserved fixed width and height space for the images.
Perhaps there is even a CSS code we might be able to add, however we do not know the newspaper specific thumb name of the entry thumb in a Flex Block.
Here is what we experimented with
.entry-thumb { height: 300px;
/* adjust as needed */
width: 100%;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center; }
I look forward to hearing back from you
Regards
Sven

Hello,
No, if you have selected the parent category or other subcategory then only posts from that category will be displayed.
A workaround for want you to need is to use the Multiple terms filter and set there 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 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 places 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!
I used Flex Loop Filters to let users find the listings they need. However, when there are too many child taxonomies, say, under the taxonomy ‘location’, there are 20 child taxonomies and I expect to have many more, both the button options and the drop menu options seemed very long and hard to find the right item. Can I separately list the taxonomies as parent/child/sub-child and use ratio buttons to filter? I used Post Form Taxonomies to list parent and child taxonomies separately when creating the listing and it worked well. When I selected a parent taxonomies, the child ones automatically appeared. Can I use the same to filter the listings?
Hi,
You can display only in the flex loop filters https://i.imgur.com/qFpA7ob.png
You cannot display the taxonomy image, only the custom field can.
Thank you!
Hello,
I recommend using cloud templates and flex blocks and big grid flex blocks.
Also, I recommend using the cache option on the blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/

Hi,
I’ve using this theme for about five years. No other news theme comes close to offering what you guys do and that too with great efficiency. I’ll be forever grateful.
From time to time, I like to make feature suggestions and recommendations. I’ve noted a few of them in my diary over the last couple weeks that I’d like to share.
Display all posts in a single line using flex block: Flex blocks offer great flexibility. So naturally it becomes first choice to display posts. It would be amazing to have a flex block that could display posts using slider. Something like choosing to display 12 posts in a single line, with only 3-4 displayed in the viewport; in mobile devices, just one. With the rest of them being accesible using slider. If you’re wondering, I am, indeed, familiar with the next/prev pagination but they’re not very intuitive and user-freindly for mobile devices because it stacks the articles over one another so if there are 4 articles visible on desktop, on mobile they stack up. So if a user has click on next, they would have to scroll down a bit to see the first article at the top. I am talking about something like the bottom row of Big Grid Flex 9, but with flex block’s customizability.
Menu specific module for popups: The introduction of popup to the theme has solved a lot of problems and has provided new oppurtunities. Having a stand-alone modal module for desktop/mobile hamburger menu will be greatly appreciated. For example, instead of button trigger, you can give a menu icon as trigger(without ability to change) that turns into(animated) a cross/close button when clicked, and can itself close the popup without requiring another close button on the popup, an option to set top offset relative to menu as in search feature so that it doesn’t cover the logo, etc.
Menu description: An option to add description to menu items(independent of category/tag descriptions) that would appear below menu and sub-menu items in various menu shortcodes like, header menu, mobile menu, list menu (extended shortcode), etc.
Limiting excerpts/title length using lines rather than words/character: Commonly, we use word or character limits to determine the length of excerpts/titles which often results in uneven display of modules because some excerpts/titles take up more space than others due to variation in word length or character width. So, number of lines limit can help achieve uniformity in the way modules look because all the excerpts/titles would take up the same amount of space, i.e. two lines, three lines, etc. I am not sure if it’s achievable, just suggesting.
You can ask for more details if need be.
Please bear in mind that these are mere recommendations — not demands.
Good day.
Hi again,
How to I hide category from Flex Block 5?
Hi,
In order to make them to look the same size, you’ll need to set an excerpt on title and post content like this -> https://i.imgur.com/o8UQm5B.png
Also, you can set the excerpt on words or letters from theme panel -> https://i.imgur.com/c7Q8ckX.png
Here is a similar topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/flex-block-1-and-same-blocks-height/
Thank you!
Hello,
You can set the image radius in the tab layout on the flex blocks https://i.imgur.com/WHKCgqH.png and for big grid flex you need to use a custom coe css
.td-big-grid-flex .td-image-wrap {
border-radius: 25px;
}
Set the code in the theme panel > custom code> custom css.
Thank you!
Hello, is it possible to make the boxes the same height? I am using “FlexBlock1” and I want them all to be the same height for visual layout purposes. https://ibb.co/GpgCPSW

Hi,
I created a new CPT ‘vendors’ and taxonomoies ‘location’ and ‘price’ and wanted to show ‘location’ and ‘price’ on this page https://snipboard.io/EzeMhN.jpg .
I knew I would need to edit the module file as shown in this tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/edit-modules-flex-block-x/, but can you let know how to edit it here exactly? For example, I opened my module file and change the taxonomy to ‘location’ but it didn’t work. https://snipboard.io/7npkec.jpg Anything else do I need to change? Under the taxonomy ‘location’, I have a few cities names already https://snipboard.io/vb16JY.jpg
Hi,
I’m using a cloud template (Gossip) and I tried everything you said here > https://forum.tagdiv.com/set-block-inside-post-content/ but nothing happens inside my post content.
I’ve created a page and added a flex block, then I copied the code
[tdc_zone type=”tdc_content”][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_trending_now][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone][tdc_zone type=”tdc_content”][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_trending_now][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]
And pasted inside the single post template, on Content block as an inLine Ad:
Not even adding in the Theme Panel… (I dont use any other kind of ads)
Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Bettina,
That is unfortunate. Hide it completely is not very usefull in this case. It might be a very usefull option to include, for that would give more flexibility.
Best regards,
Jaap
Dear Support,
I have a Flex Grid on the front page that I would like to hide from logged out users (and in stead show a text field for logged out users). It is filled with courses, but you need to be logged in to enter the course. Is there a way to show / hide Grids for logged in / logged out users?
