Hi, I have two categories, that we’re trying to get a more unique topper on so they are better identified
https://www.westislandblog.com/category/laval/ (style 6) and https://www.westislandblog.com/category/montreal/ (style 8). How can i format the header style? is it possible to put an image?
Or, is it possible to put a different logo on these two pages? the client has a similar logo, but with different words that she’s wanting to put on these two categories.
Hi,
Please notice that background can be set up from the Theme panel, from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/mMdv3Vjzb4XH
Regarding more logos on your website, you need to create a category template for each category you want to have another header logo. For this, you need to check our documentation from here -> https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-customize-the-header-manager/ and add another logo for oyur category template.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Hi, thanks, that is helpful in terms of the header manager. https://www.westislandblog.com/laval-template2/ i’ve created a new page, and added a logo an a menu in the header area (started with a blank template), but there’s the site title in there as well. how can i eliminate that? also it’s missing the ad spot up there, am i able to get that in there?
Also, it’s not then obvious how i would make all my posts in a specific category use this new template?
I want to create three different templates, for three differnt categories in the long run.
Hi,
If you want to create more template for your category, before this, you need to read our documentation from this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/ to see how it works this plugin and from where you can change the Category Template -> https://www.screencast.com/t/PzgOSgNpEW You can change the category template for a whole website or for each category you want.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
So i’ve created a template with the cloud library plugin, but it doesn’t show up as you’ve indicated here on this screen shot https://www.screencast.com/t/PzgOSgNpEW
also i still ahve an issue with the logo https://www.westislandblog.com/tdb_templates/blank-header-template/ where i have the site name text and the logo competing in the space. I’d also like to have the top ad banner
Hi,
I have made some tests over that section and it seems to works as expected. Every category template I add for a certain category, it returns good results. -> https://www.screencast.com/t/KdvXe41qwL7
I have checked your header section and I saw that you are using logo image and logo text with tile for your logo section, sorry! If you want to display an Ad Banner you need to add it from TD Composer and set up to display every ad you want from your Widgets section.
Thank you!
ah, think a bit of a mystery is solved. i have to create a header template, then also a category template and use the header on it. I’m struggling to save the template tho. It says it’s saving it, but then when i try to leave the page, it tells me “unsaved content, still want to close tagDiv composer”. If i exit, my header is only partially saved. At the moment i can’t get the menu in there. I’ve tried creating it again, and same thign. I manage to get the logo, and widget in the area, but no menu
Hi, i did manage to get it saved, it was a challenge tho. The theme works differently in different browsers. Was able to save it in firefox. not in chrome.
I thought if i created a category template, any post in the category would have that template? Here’s my main category page https://www.westislandblog.com/category/laval/ but when i click into a post that has Laval category as it’s primary category, it’s got a different theme https://www.westislandblog.com/laval-mayor-declares-a-state-of-emergency/ i’m really looking to have this header on all posts that fall into that category, is that not possible?
Hi,
Regarding on saving issue, please notice that the reason for that error might be your system status parameters. Please check the values of them to be increased according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Probably, your PHP memory is exhausted and that’s why you cannot save anything.
Also, I have checked your website and I saw that you have two different logos on it. On that category page you have a logo and for those pages, post pages you have another logo. This case is happening because, for that category -> https://www.westislandblog.com/category/laval/, you are using a template where you set up this header from Cloud Template Library. If you do not want it, you need to remove that Category Template from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/jRcoDgLYZooB and chose the Inherit from Global Settings if you want to have the same header for the whole of your website or you can edit that category template and change the logo from your header section to be the same.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Hi, I don’t think i’m being clear. I have a site wide logo, that i want on all pages. I want a different logo for the post category called Laval. In this thread, you have helped me do that using the cloud templates.
Here is how it is working now:
So on my main category page https://www.westislandblog.com/category/laval/ i have the logo i want, it’s not the site wide logo, it says laval not west. All good
I also want all the posts that have their main category setting set to laval, to have that same topper. That was my assumption, all Laval posts, will use the template i’ve set for the laval category. This is not happening. https://www.westislandblog.com/laval-mayor-declares-a-state-of-emergency/ So my question is, how can i set up a template/template header for all posts that belong to laval category.
also another issue is the mobile menu doesn’t work in the Laval Cagegory page. I realized that i have to set up the header for mobile, so i’ve done that, the logo shows up, but not the menu.
hope this is clearer
Hi,
Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to set up a header template depending on the category, sorry! The only way is to manually add it.
Thank you!
I’m really confused now, you walked me through a process to get a different header on a category. The theme has the ability to format category pages in the admin. So are you saying that i can create a header for a category page, but not the posts in that category?
I’m also having an issue with the logo. I can see my logo is set to the laval island logo in the admin, but when i look at the page https://www.westislandblog.com/category/laval/ on my mobile device, it is the west island (site wide) one. Even tho the layout is coming from the template (it’s layed out different than the site wide, so i can see it’s different on mobile)
Also when i look at it on an ipad. it all sets up well as it’s loading, then is totally not mobile when it’s finished loading, it’s super wide and tall.
Hi,
Add here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/KQGgIMwB the same logo you have on your whole website.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
#1 can you address the following question from above?
I’m really confused now, you walked me through a process above to get a different header on a category. The theme has the ability to format category pages in the admin. So are you saying that i can create a header for the category page, but that does not extend to the posts in that category?
#2 I’m trying to get a different logo for mobile, not the site wide logo. If i am in the admin for the Laval header settings, it seems like you can adjust the various views. So here’s my desktop view: http://www.westislandblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/desktop-view.jpg
and here’s the mobile view http://www.westislandblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/mobile-view.jpg, you can see i’ve changed the menu to be the mobile one, gotten rid of the ad zone, and it’s the laval logo, all shows in the admin view. It all looks like that on the phone view in terms of layout, but the logo doesn’t show as laval, it shows site wide.
#3: I also have an issue with ipad in the layout. As it loads, it’s great, once it is loaded it is not.
Hi,
1. That is the case at the moment. A cloud header can be used per category (a cloud category template is needed) but the posts that belong to that category won’t inherit the header. Post pages will use the general header set in the theme panel, or the one set in the cloud post template they use.
There could be a setting added in the future, so that a post template can be set for posts belonging to a category, maybe a header as well, can’t say for sure what will happen.
2. A different logo can be set for mobile, just switch to the phone viewport
– http://prntscr.com/nikaxd and click on the logo or add a logo element if there is none
– http://prntscr.com/nikbi9 – http://prntscr.com/nikbcd
3. On tablet it looks like this – http://prntscr.com/nikcz8 If there is not enough space the menu items will fall to a second row. You could try and reduce the space between the menu items on tablet – http://prntscr.com/nikdqr or even decrease the font size
– http://prntscr.com/nike6q
Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
ok, great think we are getting somewhere now! Hopefully in future it would be possible to have a header depending on the category
hi, spoke too soon! now when i try to create a new header, i get this error The templates API server responded with a fatal error. i tried duplicating one and it also gives an error
Hi,
I believe there was a problem with the cloud server in the past days. Please try again and it should work correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
