Calin;
Receive this message via email from Alex N. reference the above code U provided to add the “featured” categories. What does it mean?
No, that code is only for frontend it will not apply in the backend, also I made some tests with it and without it and the problem was the same.
I passed this problem to one of our developers to see what can be done to make it work better, also soon will be release a theme update with some fix for the current version hope this will help.
Thank you for your understanding!
Alex N.
Hi,
I hope this problem will be solved soon!
In the meantime, if there is anything with I can help, let me know!
Thank you!
1. He says that code is only for frontend it will not apply in the backend! What does this mean?
2. I added the above code but I do not see a “Featured Category” in the Category dropdown.
Please advise!
Hi mayaguez,
1. All the code that can be set in theme panel will affect only the frontend (the part that visitors can see), it will not apply in WordPress dashboard.
2. That code is not to display the “Featured Category” in in the Category dropdown is to hide all the “Featured Category” from entire website.
Also to can use the this button https://i.imgur.com/fpWC6PG.png you need to remove the header overlay (you have set in theme panel an header with overlay that is coming over pages/post/category and you can not select the elements under it).
If you want I can help you with this.
Thank you for your understanding!
I guess I am totally confused now. I will read about this but can you first tell me how do I set Articles/Posts to display as Featured Articles? What Category Filter do I need to use? Do I need to create a Featured Category and select Featured in the Category Filter? I just changed the “sort order” in the Flex Block element to Featured and the list changed. How/where these Posts selected to show as Featured Articles?
Hi mayaguez,
If you want to set a post/article as featured, then yes, you need to set for the category “Featured” -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ if you want to display in a block, grid only the Featured posts, then filter it using tagDiv Composer after that category -> https://i.imgur.com/ZY19nEb.png also if you have set more categories and you want you can sort the posts after Featured posts -> https://i.imgur.com/mbWCS5Q.png
Hope this is what you mean, if not, please let me know and I will try to explain better.
Thank you!
I first asked you if I had to create a Featured category and you replied No and you provided the above code.
I got it done!
