Posted in: Newsmag
Post count: 11

Hi there

I have created top menu items, I also created categories but when I try to create new news items, I am having trouble connecting top menu items to the topic so when I click a menu at top, I am having trouble adding the news item into the top menu or categories, is there a way to have a dummy Newsmag content and then I would be able to just edit the dummy content so in admin I can see how everything works? I am having so much trouble trying to setup so if you could create a dummy site on my server so I can just edit the content to my own?

Kind regards

Hi again,
I have added categories to the theme and they are showing as menu items at top of page however, when I add an item, say in history, the post is not showing in that category see my site page then you can suggest what to do, if you can upload a dummy site to my word press site or advise as I am getting into a mess with this and paid a lot of money for the theme it’s doing my head in to say the least

Hi tedted,

Our theme have “dummy sites”, we call them demos, you can install them and check how the theme is working -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/ but please note that we recommend do make your own posts, categories and pages, in this way if you change the demo you’ll not lose the content that you’ve made -> https://i.imgur.com/KkmeeDz.png

Also I see that your posts is in history category -> https://i.imgur.com/siQSZjC.png
Main menu -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-main-menu/
How category settings work -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-category-settings-work/

Thank you!

Hi there

Is there any way you can install the demo version and edit the categories to work with the heading menu as I am totally confused to say the least? I don’t mind paying extra for the help

Many thanks to you Colin for any help offered

Hi there

Sorry, I have installed the demo but still can’t find a way to change the top header menu with the menu items I want and also how to add pages to the categories in the header if you get what I mean? Layout is perfect but getting the menu working with categories etc, I’m going round in circles at the moment, I would ask for a bit of extra support and I can pay you if you can edit the things needed to get me off the ground?

Kind regards and thanks for help

Hi tedted,

I will try to help you step by step.
After you install a demo -> https://i.imgur.com/4PmUNb7.png and you want to add or edit categories, you can do it from here -> https://i.imgur.com/ycj9g0H.png
Let’s say that you want to make a new menu and to set it in your website, for this you need to go in Appearance > Menus there you can select to edit an existent menu or to create a new one -> https://i.imgur.com/6QgN3yV.png after that you need to add elements in your menu. Now you can set pages -> https://i.imgur.com/d6V71yt.png if you want you can set posts -> https://i.imgur.com/Fo2uD7u.png or if you want to have a menu with sub-menus you can use a custom link (for this you can set the link to other website, your website, any link that you want, or you can let it blank)-> https://i.imgur.com/rzJyJKK.png and finally you can set categories (just make sure that you have posts for the category you select) -> https://i.imgur.com/PEdCR02.png now these categories can be transform in mega menus -> https://i.imgur.com/AP1JzaJ.png

Hi Colin

OK I have managed to set menu and works but when you first click the site home

https://eatmypi.com/

There is a Trending Now notice under the menu, great but when you click on a link to go to that category, the Trending now notice changes to show menu items under the menu if you follow, how can I have the Trending now notice appear at top of the site under menu on all pages as this is more useful than the sub menu?

Hope you are following me on this?

It’s been a long steep learning curve for me so hope you can advise

Kind regards

Hi again
Sorry, I now know it’s called a news ticker, how do I show this on all pages rather than a sub menu? Things are getting clearer now
Sorry for keep posting I am just learning but can’t seem to get everything right so to speak.
If you can let me know how to set news ticker on all pages that would be great.
Kind regards

Hi there
I did message about the news ticker asking how I add it to all pages under the main menu rather than having a sub menu?
If you can get back to me on this I would appreciate your help?
Stay safe
