Hi. I have 2 questions:
1- Can I make the Next/Previous Posts be from the same category only? In other words: Let’s say I have a category named (cars) and a category named (fashion). when I view a post from (cars) I want the Next/Previous Posts be from (cars) only. Can I do that?
2- I have a problem with the Popular Category Widget. the widget is not showing the popular categories. You can see this widget in the footer of my website – http://the-divine-mercy.org
Thanks
Hi,
1. In order to make the next/prev posts from the single post page display only posts in the same category, you would have to modify the theme code, because there is no option available for this at the moment. Here is where the code is defined – https://www.screencast.com/t/JyuBk2lop if you have the proper coding skills to make the modifications. But please note that this could prove to be a difficult task, so I suggest hiring a developer/freelancer to help you achieve this, because we can not provide custom work at the moment, sorry.
2. The popular category block should order the categories by post count, with the most popular displayed first. Check to see if there have been any modifications to the file responsible with the sorting – https://www.screencast.com/t/yxBHg20P5 This could also be caused by a child theme used, or by a plugin. If you can try to deactivate the child theme and all the plugins except Visual composer, then clear the cache and see if the problem is still there.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi. Thanks for your reply.
1- Could this be a new feature in the theme in the next updates? It will be very useful feature. If yes I would not make any change in the code.
2- I deactivated all plugins then I noticed that the plugin that is causing the problem is the one that you recommended for me (Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order) I use this plugin to change the order of the sub categories. It’s important for me!
Hi,
1. This could be taken into consideration in a future theme update, but I can not say for sure when it will be implemented, it is up to the developer team to decide what features have priority in the increasing list of suggestions and improvements.
2. The plugin may work in some context but interfere in another. Some users seem to be using it with favorable results, but in this case it affects the sorting in the popular category. Maybe there is a setting in the configuration of the plugin that you may have overlooked or you could change to restrict any action in the popular categories.
Thanks
