Hi,
I want to post specific stories directly into Block 16 and NOT have them go to the Big Grid when stories are first published. Is this possible?
Example: On my college football page (link below) I have a Big Grid 6 and below that I have Block 16 that is titled CFB (College Football) News. For just news stories (i.e a coach gets fired), I want to put those types of articles in that spot and NOT part of the Big Grid. I’ve played around with a bunch of settings and haven’t been able to get it to work.

I look forward to your reply.

HI
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you setup block 16 to display posts from category COLLEGE FOOTBALL You can either assign this category for all post that you want them to be displayed in block 16 or add a specific tag for them then use that tag in block’s settings. For example add sport tag for the posts that you want them displayed in block 16 and simple change the filter in block settings: http://screencast.com/t/X0cnoOlcqS
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi Andrei,
In Block 16 (CFB News) I switched it to all categories (from college football) and then put the filter by tag slug as CFB News. I then went an added that tag CFB News on those articles that I want to show up in that spot.
However, my latest article is not showing up (http://fan-insider.com/lsu-fires-les-miles-names-ed-orgeron-as-interim-head-coach/) in Block 16. The only difference with this story compared to those that are in Block 16 is that they are listed under the college football category in posts. My article that I want to be there is just listed under news and sports in the posts section. However, when I add the college football category, the article then shows up in the Big Grid section and not in Block 16 like I want it to.
That is the problem I have been having.
Hopefully that makes sense. I look forward to your reply.
Hello,
The problem you mention is a simple filtering issue. Yopu need to set particular posts or categories to particular blocks. If you publish a new pot it will show up in the block you have set to show latest posts from the category you post your article in. If your grid is set to show all the latest posts, then that is where the post will show up first. You need to read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ andf make use of the theme sorting options to get the result that you want. You can use offsets or different filtering methods to show the new posts in the block that you want.
Thank you!
Hi guys,
I managed to get my latest article (Team USA dominates Team Europe, wins first Ryder Cup since 2008) on my home page under the Top News section (I’ve mastered that part), however, I don’t want that story in the big grid (ONLY In The Top News Section) and have tired a number of things to get rid of it.
I’m using Big Grid 1 and under filter I’ve typed ‘-‘ (ex: -1269) in the Post ID filter to exclude it, but it’s not working for some reason. Am I missing something? FYI 1269 is the Post ID number.

Hello,
I have tested this again on my end but posts get removed if you simply add it like so: http://screencast.com/t/xLz30oKfvDM
Let us know if this is the way you implemented it.
Thank you!
Bogdan, Thank you. It worked!
