Hi
first time user and I am a bit confused about the phylosofy of the Newspaper theme and how to actually use it. I searched the forums and there are lots of useful tips, but I cannot find a “high level” guide. So I ask here:
1) If I undersand correctly, there are three ways to design a home page: 1) Customise (for very simple changes) 2) Theme Panel, to select many options from sets of predefined blocks/template etc.. 3) TagDiv Composer to have full flexibility from stracth to create a “Page” that then needs to be assigned as “Static” in Customise to make it home page. CloudTemplate offer additional choices in either Theme Panel or TagDiv Composer. If I limit changes to what Theme Panel offer, then that directly becomes the home page (Dynamic in Customise) Do I get the concept right?
2) As a starting point, I would like to use a default Demo, for example “Politics” on an existing Word Press webiste that has already its own post. How do I make certain posts, say 3, add them to the Grid at the top. When I activate the demo, there is no grid being shown, I guess I need to someohow tell the demo which posts should be in the grid (sticky post does not work, it just puts the post on top of the list).
Thanks
Hello!
1. Yes it is right, if you use a cloud/PRO template then you can customize however you need. Otherwise, you can customize it also the default one from CSS code.
2. You should edit the page with TagDiv Composer plugin, documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
After editing, you can select a grid and you will have some settings on that element in Filter tab, so from there you can select which posts do you want to display.
Unfortunately, if you set a post to be sticky, then that post will not appear on the grid where you want it.
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
many thanks. Getting the hang of it.
One follow up question: how to deal with multilanguage headers
Header: I am using a cloud template, Header Template 65 – Pulses PRO and I need to have different headers for each of the languages. In Newspaper theme I select the header template, but then of course, there is only one header “file” stored in my Cloud. Many thanks.
