Hi,

Those pictures are thumbnails created from the featured images or videos you set for your posts
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/

The pages can be edited with the tagDiv composer, you can modify it as you want
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
It all depends on how you want it to look, the composer has many elements and settings. Each block and grid can be customized, you can filter and sort the content it displays.

Please let us know if you have more questions or you need help with something.
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me. I still don’t understand how you change the images. Could you run through how you would change the first 4 images on the homepage for me at the top just below the trending now part. Many thanks.

Hi,

The top elements is a Big grid, it displays 4 posts. For example this post

The image it displays is the featured image set for it

I believe you want to configure the grids and blocks to display your own posts now. That would be the next step. Edit the page with the tagDiv composer and configure the grid to display posts from your categories instead of the demo categories
http://prntscr.com/ka8liw

So you don’t change the images, you change the posts. Those are simple demo posts. Your posts, the ones that you write and publish must have featured images or videos set for each post
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/

After you set a featured image, this image will represent the post in the theme blocks, grids, social sharing etc.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Yes it is, it is mentioned in the block settings guide

So if you use a “page” type the block will show only pages

Let me know if you have more questions, I will try my best to help you.
