Good morning / evening,
Is there a way to configure easily the Category Top Posts Style part of the category pages so that by using tagging we can features selected posts in the category.
Reason, we do not always want just the most recent 5 posts in that block. Some posts we will promote into the block depending on the topic.
The section I’m referring to can be found here:
Newspaper > Theme Panel > Categories > Category Top Posts Style
Also can you remove the Category Top Posts Style from the second page onwards on the categories pages. It would seem useful as a feature block on page one but page 2 onward maybe the lists of posts is sufficient. I noticed on the Newspaper demo of categories online that somehow the posts in the clock seem to be the same on all pages where as in our configuration is it the top 5 on that pagenination page. Are we missing a setting somewhere?
Our categories page for our “Things to do” category can be found here: http://www.jamjosandbox.com/news/things-to-do/
I appreciate any assistance.
Cheers
James
Hi,
At the moment there is no option to remove the category grid starting from the second page. You could however use a code like this, it should remove the grid on all other category pages except the first one

This is the code if you decide to test it
body[class~="paged"]
.td-category-grid {
display:none;
}
The Top grid that is present on the category pages cannot be customized like that. You could modify the category top post template that you are using

And substitute through a shortcode the grid that is selected in the theme panel, with a different grid configured by you

I don’t know if this would be a solution for you, or useful for what you need to do.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
Thank for you taking the time to help me out with that good advice. In the end for the first issue of the grid, decided for infinite scrolling which sort of removes paging issues regardless.
On the second issue, successfully implemented a version of what you discribed above by customising Style 2 on the top posts grid. I had to actually also customise it by category so added some logic for that extra detail.
Anyways, all good and it’s starting to look good now. Again thanks for the help đ
Cheers
Colin
