Noob Questions (Categories/Slider)

Posted in: Newspaper

First off to say… best money I have ever spent. I have been setting up projects with WP templates for years and finally see that it is worth paying.

A couple questions from someone novice to this theme for website http://www.livingtosmile.com:

1. I don’t understand categories and after a couple hours of trying, all of my posts just appear in one long single column on the homepage. How do I snap the posts into grids by category?
2. I activated the slider, but I do not see it on my site?

Thanks!

It looks like my category pages are responding to the settings, but my homepage is just one big long list of posts.

Hello,

1) For the first question I see you figured it out: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
2) If you use a slider on your homepage or any other page, you need to make sure you have enough posts in your category (more than 1) for the slider to display. If you use a big grid slide, you need to have at least 8 posts and make sure you set it to more than 4 posts, otherwise it will not slide as it will only display the first 4 posts: http://screencast.com/t/NXxY3NZN
Please read the documentation on block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
3) For the homepage, it seems you have it set to ‘latest posts’ from the WP settings: http://screencast.com/t/pnryKysih
Please follow this guide to see how to set up your homepage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/

I hope this helps!
Thank you for your message!
