Mobile theme categories are the same.

Hello,
Te top grid shows featured articles. That means articles added to the featured category. The bottom module shows all the articles in a latest to oldest sorting option. There is no sorting option in our theme for these blocks.
If you want to customize it and avoid repetition, find out what the category ID is of your featured category. Say for instance that it is 26

Now, inside of Newspaper\mobile\front-page.php you will find this code:

$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
);
Make sure to add:

'category__not_in' => array( 26 ),
to the end of the array so that it looks like this:

$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
'category__not_in' => array( 26 ),
);

Thanks.

Hi,

You will find it by the path mentioned by Bogdan

Use your FTP client to access the theme folder, follow the path, edit the file as shown and save it.

Thanks

Hi,

@masterskg The default sorting for the mobile top grid is by featured posts, this could only be changed in the code, as there is no setting in the matter.
This is where you can make the change to a random sorting if that is what you need

Glad you could achieve what you wanted. There are plans to improve the mobile theme functionality in coming updates. These changes have to be carefully picked so they will not interfere with the mobile theme performance.

Thanks
