Element does not show chosen category or specific post- help me!

Hi!!! So, On the homepage there is an element that should show a specific category. However, when I select it, it shows nothing. This happens with some categories, while others appear normally. What’s the problem?

Another thing: how to use the filter to show a specific post? I put the post ID but it doesn’t show up…

Do you have a tutorial on this?

Another problem I noticed is that the options for new posts that appear at the bottom of the page do not respect the category chosen to appear.

Example: a post from category “travel” is showing posts from category “food”…

Hello @nisantiago!

Please check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
You can use only one filter not both.
Make sure that your posts have no multiple categories assign.

Thank you!

Betina, thanks for your quick response. But 2 things:

1) I’ve marked the places where I’m trying to filter the posts, but for an unknown reason it doesn’t work. when I put the ID (only it, without using the filter below, category) it was supposed to show the post with this number, right? Does not happen! I then tried to create a specific category, deleted the ID and asked it to show only this category: it didn’t work either! The system does not show certain posts or categories – even when specifically requested by them.

2) you didn’t answer about the issue of post suggestions, which are recommending posts from other categories. how to solve this please?

thks a lot!

Betina, I discovered the problem here: it was the offset posts, which was set to 3, so since there weren’t 3 posts, it didn’t show anything. Problem solved! 😉

I just need help solving the indications of posts with a specific category, mentioned in the previous message.

Hello @nisantiago!

You can have two filters applied there: https://prnt.sc/E12rCVKpJ_cA
Your posts need to have only one category, not two or more. The filter takes all the posts from that category and doesn’t verify whether the post has more categories or not.

Thank you!
