Good morning,
I need your help with the category settings in Newspaper.
I want to create ONE specific category with a completely different content logic from all the others.
I was able to customize the layout following your tutorial:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/default-category-settings/#:~:text=To%20change%20the%20category%20template,apply%20the%20global%20category%20settings
.
Here is the category where I want to display ONLY the most recently updated posts:
https://www.nuvoledibellezza.com/articoli-aggiornati/
The problem is this:
When I try to filter or sort the posts for this category (for example using Flex Box 1 or trying to show only the latest updated posts), the change is applied globally to ALL categories, even though I want this behavior ONLY for this specific one.
What I need is:
A category that has its own independent filtering logic,
Specifically: to show posts ordered by last modified date,
Without affecting the rest of the categories.
Is there a way to apply a custom post filter or custom sorting only to a single category page, without inheriting or overriding the global settings?
Thank you very much for your support!
Hello,
If I understood correctly you want to show all the articles ordered by the most recent, if so, then you don’t need a category, but just a page where you can use a block, like flex block 1 and which is sorted by latest.
I think it is much more efficient to use a page instead of a category if all the articles will be displayed anyway, but if it was only a part, then it made sense to be a category, because there were only the articles in that category.
Regarding the situation you have with the category cloud template. When a cloud template is set as global, it will apply to all categories (this case), if you want it to be applied only to a specific category, you must have another cloud template (you can duplicate the existing one) and assign it individually to the respective category https://i.imgur.com/fTZlLJK.png
Thank you!
Hi dear Calin, thank you so much for your explanation and for helping me so much! I don’t understand why I hadn’t thought of creating a page instead of a category; it actually makes so much more sense.
Thanks also for explaining how to create a different category because that will be useful too!
Thank you so much for your invaluable help and for taking the time to help me!
