Hello,

I have downloaded & activated the plugin “Category Posts Widget”. I wanted to use it in my sites homepage.
But on clicking Add Elements, I am unable to find this plugin, like wise other plugins are also not available.

Hi,

I have installed and activated the plugin you mention
https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-posts/
And it appears in the widget section

From what I understand this plugin sorts the posts from a single category. That can be done using any of the block widgets available

You can specify the category or categories and sort the posts as well.
More about block settings here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

Hi,

I know that blocks can be used to display category posts.

For example block 9, they have too much space between titles.

I would rather prefer them to be compact with less spacing between post title.

For eg, I would prefer
aaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
ccccccc

rather than what is now Block 9

aaaaaaa

bbbbbbb

ccccccc

Also regarding downloaded plugins, I want to add widgets on homepage using Visual Composer or Tagdiv Composer.

Regards,
Siddharth

Hi,

The mentioned page editors have their own predefined elements and widgets that you can use. There is one for almost any purpose. Other widgets may not work properly and cannot be placed using these composers.
If you could provide a link to your website, I will try to give you a code that will make Block 9 display as you want. Then you will not need another plugin for this.

Thanks

Hi,

For the Block 9 on your homepage you can try this code
https://www.screencast.com/t/YfJm1pIisMkO
It will remove the padding and margins for the module used on Block 9 only

.td_block_9 .td_module_8 {
padding-bottom: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}

The code has to be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css section. Please let me know if this is what you wanted, or you need something else.

Thanks

Thank you so much.

One more thing regarding the Video Widget (Youtube). Can we not use channel IDs instead Video IDs.
Is their any solution as I want to use Channel IDs, like bbcnews, ndtv channels on youtube.
Thank you so much once again.

Hi,

Channel Id’s are not supported in the video playlist. The Video player element from Video composer does support playlist links for example. You could enter an already made video playlist from the channels you want in it

Hi,

Can we limit the length of Post Title in Block 9.

Thanks for all your valuable suggestions.

Hi,

You can change the length of the post title for each module. This can be done in Theme panel->Excerpts

For block 9 you can change the title length here
