Hi, the Mobile theme is indeed amazing, faster than the regular theme.

I have a question, how can I show a different category in the top grid?
I understand that is preprogrammed to display the first 3 post on the Featured category. Problem is that we don’t use such category at all.

Is there any way to customize the “Top Grid” ?

Thank you!

Hello,

The top grid can only be customized using code. There are no settings implemented for it.
You can add an extra parameter to the big grid at the top to filter by a certain category like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/HQhl3qUiJmc

Thanks.

Hi Bogdan,

We implemented the change, exactly as instructed with the category_id we want, check below

<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_big_grid_mob_1 sort="featured" category_id="1" ]'); ?>

And the mobile template simply omitted the big grid.

We tested other categories but no success. Any other idea?

Thank you!

Hi,

Does the category “1” you use have featured posts in it?

You limited the grid to a specific category, but the featured sorting still applies. So now the grid tries to display featured posts from the category you chose. If there are none, the grid will not appear.

Thanks
