Changing {"sort"} In Sidebar

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 43

Hello,

On my site http://www.sportsdouchebags.com, at one point in the past I could edit homepage via Visual Composer and rename and choose what content displayed under what header. I would click on edit pencil icon and there was a drop down that would allow me to pick category, or most recent, most popular, etc.

Now, I cannot find that option anywhere I look. How can I change SDB Greatest Hits (which is currently displaying based on popularity) to another option? And edit the header text?

On line 2065 it looks like this: block_td_uid_17_57629ca426129.atts = ‘{“sort”:”popular”,”custom_title”:”SDB GREATEST HITS”,”limit”:”5″,”category_id”:”320″,”category_ids”:”-1102″

Please help.

Thank you
Paul

Hi,
The block settings can be changed by clicking the pencil icon as presented in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Your problem originates from the latest version of wordpress. You use an old version of the theme and an old version of visual composer. You have visual composer 4.6.2 but for the latest version of WP you need version 4.11.2 as there were a few compatibility issues that needed fixing. Please updfate your theme to the latest version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update your plugin by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please also make sure you update the social counter plugin as well after you update.
Thank you!

Hi Bogdon,

Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. I followed all of the steps and deleted the previous versions, then updated the theme, visual composer and social counter plugin.

A couple things:

– The social counter has been deleted from the sidebar. I also had “Most Popular” and “Categories” in sidebar and they are gone as well. How can I get those back?

– The text color in main nav bar went from white to black. I went into theme panel (Theme Color –> Main Menu) to edit and it won’t let me; it gives me an error message and pop up that says “Background Request Blocked – A background request to WordPress was just blocked.” It gives me the option to “Whitelist this action” or “Dismiss.” But, it won’t let me click on either. I click outside the dialogue box and the loading square just spins and spins, and I have to reload the page. This happens when I try and do almost anything in the theme panel. How can I fix so I can make these (and other) changes? What do I need to do to whitelist?

– My original issue with Visual Composer not being able to edit via pencil icon is not fixed either.

Please let me know what I can do to fix these issues.

Thank you,

Paul
