Quick question as I am new to the theme and everything that comes with it.
I want to get my homepage the same as can be found here: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/homepage-clean/
So with the big image on the left, double header menu with the “news ticker” below the main menu and small images on the right. Followed by the “regular” posts below there.
What is the best way of going about this? Could not find my way to the correct page through the available documentation.
Hello,
The absolute best way of going about this is to read the theme documentation and learn how to build pages in the page builder. Then you can build whichever layout you need/like using our theme

This guide shoud help with the settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/
Here is a more visual presentation of the page builder even though it’s from our newspaper theme but the builder works in the same way:
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan,
Thank you. I had already read that. What I was looking for – but now have found out through trial and error – was that you have to set the homepage as a static page in order to make use of all TagDiv functionalities there. As a suggestion from my side – I don’t think this is always made clear enough in the available documentation and I think it would be a good idea to mention this somewhere.
As it is now – I’m running into multiple issues. The most important one is pertaining to the issue at hand. I am now getting the error message “Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!” and thus cannot continue as TagDiv does not seem to work.
Ah apologies – nevermind, I cannot edit my previous comment but I’ve found most of what I’m looking for.
Quick follow-up question: Currently I have it so my latest news is in the big grid at the top. However, what would be ideal is if the blog posts below the big grid would follow – chronologically – to the posts in the big grid. Now they’re duplicates so the latest news is seen twice. Any way to do this?
Hello Dannysmits,
If you want to sort your news posts from your Big Grid, notice that you can choose the sort order for this element from panel, if you will look at the Block Settings, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ Also, you can use the Unique Articles for your homepage to avoid the duplicated posts. For more information about this case, please check our useful guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/ or Offset feature, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
