How to Show 1 Recent Post per Category in a Block

Hello, I would like to display the latest post for each of 7 categories using Big Grid 8 as shown in your tech demo. However, it appears to only show the latest 7 posts total, regardless of category. I have tried specifying categories but it doesn’t seem to work. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello epicmag,

Please notice that you can display the latest posts from a certain category if you will use the category ID for that and place it in Block Settings, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/rTKetLdUCq For more information about Block Settings, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks, I did find the category ID selector, but I would like to have 1 post from each category display rather than the 7 newest from all categories. E.g. the first box is “Category 1,” second box is “category 2,” etc.

Is this possible?

Hello epicmag,

You can handle this from Block Settings, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/WALxNyYWnGF

Hope this helps!

Thanks, This didn’t quite do the trick but we have found that the theme can’t do this the way we anticipated. We wanted one block of 7 posts with a constant rotation of only one from each category to display. E.g. We hoped for the first post in a big grid to always display the most recent post from the category “Fashion”, the second post is always newest from category “music”, and so on. But we found this is not possible.

Thanks.

Hello epicmag,

Sorry for this but please notice that our theme does not have any such an option for it, sorry! If you want to have this functionality on your website you should implement it yourself because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!

Thanks for the message!
