Category – number of articles?

Posted in: Newspaper

Is there a way how to set up number of articles shown in the list on category page? In Theme panel / Categories / Article Display View I can choose for example Module 1 – and there is list of 10 articles. Where can I change it to 12 or 8?

Hello !

That can be limited by editing the blocks with tagDiv Composer as you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/Ja7eFs46

No, this is home page, where I can edit blocks with tagDiv composer, I know.
But I mean category page and list of articles there.
For example here: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/category/tagdiv-mobile/
Its Mobile category page and there is 10 articles (and pagination). If I need less or more articles then 10 in list, when can I set up such parameter? Typicaly to balance list column with my sidebar on right.

Hello !

That can be setup using the tagDiv Composer on the category template as you can see it here: https://www.screencast.com/t/UeYiO0rx9zyx

But how can I get there? I use standard steps: Admin / Theme panel / Categories / Article display view / let’s say the first one, Module 1, which has 10 articles as default. There is no configuration for number of articles. And I can’t see option, how to configure whole Module 1 template. Or is it impossible and 10 can’t be changed?

Hello !

You will have to import and set a cloud library Category Template as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/

That’s pity! I think it would be good idea to add parameter as number of articles for modules in future versions of Newspaper. No way how to do it now through API or custom config?
So I tried to build up custom cloud category template which will look like predefined Module 1. But there is still one feature I don’t know how to imitate: when I apply Module 1 and there is category with subcategories:
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_medicine/category/specialities/
On category page Specialities tag shown over image shows subcategory name, so there are tags like “Dentistry”, “Diabetes”, etc.
But when I add in new template element Posts Loop as you suggested, there is just Layout / Show category / Show-Hide option and on category page all articles in list have the same tag “Specialities” – which is quite useless. How can I on cloud category template setup tag with subcategory name like is in your demo with Module 1? https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_medicine/category/specialities/

Hello !

No other way to limit the post count any other way.

That is not standard. That comes from editing a Category Template from the Cloud Library. The designers removed the post loop and added a block instead. Those subcategories comes from blocks added instead of posts loop.

Thank you for your understanding !
