Hello, I have a client that wants to display and link to pages on their site rather than posts in the “Big Grid 1” grid on their home page. They would like to have the pages featured image display in the grid and when you click on the box it takes you to the corresponding page. Is there a way to do that?
Hi,
Blocks and Big grids can display pages as well as posts

It can be done in the grids filter tab

Specific page Id’s can be entered to display certain pages only.
Thanks
Hey Simion,
Thanks for the info!
I clicked the links but it seems there is a new interface than the theme panel that I am used to seeing. I noticed there is a new update to Newspaper. I have read some comments that suggest that there may be some issues with the update as some have stated that after the update of 8 their website had “major problems”. Is that the case? Do I need this update to make the changes that I need on this site? I currently have version 7.4
Hi,
In Newspaper 8 the new tagDiv composer was introduced as the main page builder
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
It will be activated by default when the theme is installed or updated. In some cases there can be problems when both Visual composer and the tagDiv composer are active at the same time.
If you decide to use the tagDiv composer you will have to recreate all the pages with this new front-end editor

You can keep using Visual composer after updating the theme and disable the tagDiv composer, then make the switch when you think the time is right.
The option to display pages in blocks is available for Visual composer as well

Page Id’s can be entered in the filter in order to display specific pages if necessary

Here in the live demo you can see most of the features of the theme (latest theme version)

Check the Features menu.
Thanks
