How to change meta word instead of (sub)category in blocks?

Hi,
I have a question. I am new to the theme but it seems great. The one thing I need to do is to change the word/s in the meta of posts in the blocks – on individual basis. For instance – in the demo (I populated it with default demo settings and content) in the main (first) block there are several posts featured, and above headlines we have – TRAVEL, RECIPES, FASHION… All names of the categories or sub categories.
But I would need to write a word or two on post basis (some tag or something, a custom phrase) and that to show instead category name. For instance – EXCLUSIVE or SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT and then below it headline.
Please, could you help me with that, it is very important to have the ability to write that on per post basis. Is this what you solve with custom taxonomy plugin?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Igor

Hi,

I am assuming that you are referring to the ajax filter displayed on top of the blocks
https://www.screencast.com/t/1AuaLIJTAc
This will display information based on the available selection you choose in each of the block settings. There is no option to enter additional information in that field, it is an automated process that can only work with the options it currently has.
Here you can find more about block settings and options

Blocks can display the titles you choose, and there is a particular block header style that would allow something like you want

Please correct me if I misunderstood what you were asking.

Thanks

Hi,

That is the category of the post. The modules will display the post category if it is enabled in the theme panel
https://www.screencast.com/t/04VDR0VH
If you have a post in a category called “Recipes” for example, this category tag will be displayed on blocks for that post. If a post has multiple categories and you want to control which one is displayed on the blocks, you need to set a primary category for the post

You can create any categories you need and assign posts to them

I see, but is there a possibility to have custom text (per post) instead of category to show up in that place. Like, some short tag I want to write? I would need that just to show up in blocks.

For instance – I have a block that shows one category (let’s say: Cars) and I publish post in that category and give them in some way a tag, not a subcategory (let’s say: Brand New), so that on the block we see that post with my tag instead of category in the place I show in the picture?

Thanks a lot for helping 🙂

Hi,

The modules that form the blocks can only display what they are meant to, like the date, category tag, author, excerpt etc. The process of handling these predefined elements is done automatically. This is an example of how a module structure looks

It gets the post information and displays it, the module will not display anything else.
