I have created several categories on my website. I am not sure why, from the Pop-up menu, clicking on any of the categories does not display any post unnder the category. I have looked but not sure why this so. I need you kind assistance.
Category: Lagos Legends
For instance, check the Lagos Legend category that has 3 posts but none is displaying on clicking it.
Hello @Ibalex!
I’ve checked your website and it seems that your posts are opening: https://www.screencast.com/t/SkCIG56Py
Please clear your cache and try again.
Thank you!
Of course they have been opening. I have cleared my cache though. The problem is that the posts that opened are not under the Lagos Legends Category. It rather seems to me that the Category module of the Theme is not working as it should. The reason why one wouldd have to categorise is because posts under the same category can be displayed to the visitor. Do you get the problem I am trying to point to you now?
I do not think it is the case of alignment. Practically speaking, if you visit the website, go to the pop-up menu and click the categories Lagos legends (has 3 posts), In loving Memory (has 2 posts), Abuja: Builders & Reformers/Updates & Trends (has 1 post). All these categories I have listed are not displaying their corresponding post. The question is why these categories are not displayed. I need to resolve this issue for my client.
Secondly, the category Peculiar People has 5 posts, but only 2 are displayed when clicked. I do not understand this kind of anomaly.
The Change makers and the Portraits of Patriots categories are displaying just fine. They have over 15 posts each. I wonder if there is a minimum number a category should have before posts under it can be displayed. I hope I am clearer this time. Thank you
Hi Ibalex,
I just checked the category Lagos legends and now there are 3 posts in it -> https://i.imgur.com/nRqKFQE.png -> https://i.imgur.com/sfTQoxT.png so the posts are display in the category, but the problem is that is not displaying the posts from the current/selected category. I think that this is because the flex blocks from the cloud category template are not filtered, please edit it with tagDiv Composer and set on all flex blocks in filter tab the current category -> https://i.imgur.com/ACMqpT7.png this should solve the problems with the posts from the categories.
The category Peculiar People display all the 5 posts -> https://i.imgur.com/AIuUnC1.png only that the first 3 are not form the current category, this will be solved after you set the filter mentioned above.
The Change makers indeed display correctly, because I think that you set the filter for the 3 posts of category on this class, or the last 3 posts were added on this category.
All, the problems will be solved after you’ll set the flex blocks from the category on current category.
Let us know the results!
Hi Calin!
Thank you very much. The result is as expected. I am using the Newspaper theme for the first time so I need some time to find my way around.
Lastly, on this ticket regarding filtering, I am wondering if there is a way to display a hierarchical category such that a visitor does not need to reach the end of each sub-category before the next sub-category is displayed. For instance, if subcategories have more than 50 posts each, it will be cumbersome for visitors to reach the last sub-category if they have to flip through all the posts in the first sub-category that is displayed. I hope you get my point.
For example, I have a category Specialised Publications
with 2 subcategories (Change makers, Portraits of Patriots) of more than 20 posts. When visited, a reader sees all the 20 posts in the first sub-category that is displayed before she gets to the second subcategory. I think there should be a way of displaying without necessarily creating a dropdown menu. Thank you.
Hi,
I understand, unfortunately, for the moment our theme does not have an option like this.
I will add it on our list and maybe this will be add in the coming updates.
Thank you for your understanding!
