How to Change Top Grid & Other Things

Hi tagDiv team,

First of all, the new mobile theme is superb and for that I really congratulate you for your hard work.

First- The update went without any issues, however I need to know how to change the top grid from Featured to the Latest, preferably from a particular category, if possible, if not the latest from all will do for now.
“top grid – displays 3 featured posts (posts included in the Featured category)”

Second – Do you still recommend to use WP Super Cache with your latest theme update v7.0.1? I have used the WP Fastest Cache and I had some issues after the update, it kept showing the Desktop version instead of the mobile version, so I had to disable it.

Third- The Speed Booster is not working when these and other plugins are active:
-Add Meta Tags
-Advanced Custom Fields
-Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode by SeedProd
-Disqus Comment System
-and other plugins

It would be great idea to make the Speed Booster compatible with all plugins and also add CDN and also other caching options and features, this will help speeds up the theme even more, and will also avoid experiencing any errors from other cache plugins.

Finally – how to edit the mobile template? Which file?

Many thanks for the great work

Hello colgate,

First of all, thank you for your kinds words and thank you for your appreciations.

For your first question, please notice that this is the normal/default behaviour for our new mobile theme. If you want to change the filter for Big Grid feature, you have to alter the code from the front-page.php core file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/XvSBymcfGof Please notice that this is not a simple task and if you want to set the filter only from particular category you will have to add other conditions in order to achieve as you wish. Please notice that if you want to change the filter of the Big Grid (for example to be for latest), on your front page you will get the twice posts because the latest articles module will display you the latest posts. So, if you want to display more levels in our theme and your are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!

For your second request, please notice that the WP Fastest Cache plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the theme behaviour with this type of plugin and also we cannot say for sure if it will work 100% with our theme. Also, please notice that we recommend using the WP Super Cache because this plugin is tested with our theme and works as properly.

For your third request, please notice that the speed booster is an optional plugin and it is tested only with these plugins – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2 and if you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled. A lot of people install the plugin without knowing what it does and after that they add many plugins and some of the them are not written fine so the developer took this decision. If you want to always enable speed booster, delete this code from speed booster file: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh Also, for more information about our speed booster plugin, please check our tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Finally, if you want to edit de mobile template for new mobile theme, please notice that you will have to edit the mobile folder from your theme which contains all the necessary files for this mobile theme, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/1SW50X4Dvto

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your understanding!

Thanks for detailed support Catalin,

Just one last thing. When you click on an image in the mobile theme, the image opens in a new window, rather then applying a lightbox effect and opening on top of the contents (like the desktop theme). Is this the default setting of the mobile theme, or is something missing?

Many Thanks

Hello colgate,

Please notice that this is the default behaviour of the theme when you are using the mobile theme and also, please notice that do not exist any settings to change this option.

Thank you for your understanding!
