I am trying to make it so a single post from a Page on my website will show underneath a block. I have tried playing with the filters but the page is not showing up. I am creating a new page not a post while doing this. What should I do to make it show up? Thanks!

Hello,

If you want to show a single post on a page in visual composer you cna use any block you wish and filer it to only show 1 post. Please use this guide to learn how to use the block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Each block has a limit for how many posts it will show: http://screencast.com/t/flxh416liYD8

I’m trying to make it so any pages I created will show up in the block. These are pages not posts. Is that possible?

Hello,

You can also make the page show up in a block o you change the post type to page from block settings. Please use this guide to see how you can change the post type: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

I looked at the guide and still unsure exactly what to do to make it so pages I’ve posted will show up inside of a block. I think it may be something I put in on the filter tab when making a block.

Do I want to do this? Post type – Use this filter if you want to display custom post types. Add the name of the post type, this is provided by the plugin used to create the CPT, or by the user, if it’s custom-made. Usage: post, page, event – write 1 or more post types delimited by commas.

Hi,

Yes, that is the option that needs to be made. There is no other option to add a page in the block. Any sort of page/post/cpt, is a post type. In order to change the blocks from showing posts to showing pages you need to change the post type. Simply type “page” in that field.

I got the blocks to work for a page, I am using block 15. I’m running into an issue where the thumbnails are not resizing properly. This is making the five pages not align correctly either. I made a screenshot https://postimg.org/image/ju42n7cfj/. How can I fix it?

Hello,

You need to make sure the images are larger than the thumb itself. If your images are wide, they cannot show properly in a square thumbnail. Pleas make sure your images are as close to the aspect ration of the block as possible. And then regenerate your thumbs.

Thank you!
