Hi,
I have 3 questions,
– i use module 4 in 2/3 of row, because of that I get two columns of posts, now i need to have 3 columns so can i do this by css or i need something else?
– Is there a way to hide child categories “box” for slide module on homepage (because i dont have child categories and I dont like that white space)
– how to erase date of posts showed by modules only on homepage?
thank you very much.

Hi,

1. Set your page like this to have 3 columns layout for module 4 (block 5 it’s made using module 4): http://screencast.com/t/mG9wWUmSOS

2. Yes, just edit the block you want to customize and set the “Show child categories menu:” to -hide- like this: http://screencast.com/t/kki7Myz1Dj0

3. You have to edit the module file for which module you want to remove the date and remove the get_date function or comment it, like this:
* ex for module 1: http://screencast.com/t/esowK96r0
Do the same for each module.

Thanks

hi,

1. Set your page like this: http://screencast.com/t/mFS78jdGSR and add your sidebar using the template settings, you will get this result: http://screencast.com/t/hQjbwmW1LNQT

2. Regarding this: http://screencast.com/t/mmbsde2GF the white space is there by default: http://screencast.com/t/jrfCYsVwbQI
You can chose to hide the title if you don’t want it, like this: http://screencast.com/t/eYzG6v7g

3. You can use the child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/ or you can edit the file you want to modify then copy your modified version of the file into a new file and save it, then follow the update log each time the theme updates and check if those files you have modified have changed, if they haven’t changed you can replace them with your own modified files else you will have to make the changes to the new files.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use this css fro the space from the sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/rOizg0ZOS

.span4 .block-title {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}

If this dose not help, please paste me your site’s URL and point me at what do you want to change.
You can use this button to edit your post: http://screencast.com/t/gYUo7hF1mA0
You can try to use another module if you want bigger thumbnails, the thumb gets pixelated because it’s small size, the image it’s cropped to be used at that size on module 4.

Thanks

Thank you very much for your answer ๐Ÿ™‚
i tried to find one more thing…
when i set post limit to 6 on module 7 and turn on prev/next pagination than i can go limitless in history of my posts… is there any way to limit prev/next to last 18 posts so i dont have infinite posts on my homepage?

Hi,

You can use a filter to determine which and how many posts the block contains and add only the latest 18 posts. For example you can create a new category in which you can add the posts you want to add in that block and set them to be ordered by date (latest sort order) then set only that category to that post, this way you will control the posts added in that block and also the number. You can also use the “filter by tag” feature.
Also note that when using the next/prev pagination on block the posts will load only if the next button is clicked so they don’t show on you homepage, at loading you have only 6 posts displayed there as you set the posts limit option.

Thanks
