Hello,
As the title asks, how do I customise which posts are shown in this top grid?
If I pin a post, it only pins it to the top of the list below this grid. I would like to specify which posts are shown in the grid itself, for each category page.
Sorry if this is a noob question or if it has been answered before.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Just to clarify, I understand that I can filter the posts on this block when editing my main site page in TagDiv composer, but I want to filter them for each category page specifically and I see no option to do this or anywhere that I can edit individual category pages using tagdiv.
The only editable “Page”, per se, is my homepage.
There is no setting in my Newspaper theme to customise which posts show here either, and no setting in Posts > Categories
Hello @Quaren !
This is possible only if you use cloud templates using a flex block. Read more about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
For each category, you have a special filter for the current category, which displays the posts from that category dynamically in each category.
Or, you can specify the post ID’s that will display in the flex block. In order to have different posts on each category page, you need to duplicate the category template, give it another name, and assign it to the correct category page. You can have a global template but also individual templates for each category.
We recommend using cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer, which contains a lot of functions and features. Please check out our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Thank you!
I just need a bit of code to check what category the page is and to display the posts that I specify for that category.
Ok, so, after some research and some help with chatGPT – there is in fact a way to do this by editing the category_top_post_style php file that you have set for your category pages. It will take some tinkering though.
So, your expert response of “This is possible only if you use cloud templates using a flex block.” is flat out wrong. In fact it was this response that annoyed me enough to actually find out how to do what I wanted on my own (thank god for AI.)
After consideration neither option is really worth the time and effort just to get some posts stickied to the top_post block when I can just remove that block and sticky the posts normally to achieve a more or less similar effect. You’ll need a plugin called “Category Sticky Post” to allow you to sticky different posts to different category pages, though, just in case anyone else finds this issue.
