Primary Category in posts

I believe that this feature should be updated because the way it works now is not good enough.

You have three options on how the Primary category is picked

> Manually – If you select it from this box, this post will inherit all the settings form the Primary category.
>If the post has only one category – that will be the Primary category
>If the post has multiple categories and no manual Primary category, the theme will pick the first category from the categories of this post ordered alphabetically

We post around 100 articles a day and some times people forget to manually set this field to the correct category and when they miss it goes to the third option when there are multiple categories. Our case is that we have a Parent category with multiple subcategories.

I believe that it would be better to check the categories, if there is a parent category and a subcategory chosen to pick the subcategory. If there are a few subcategories picked – choose one alphabetically.

This would be a good improvement and I believe won’t be such a big deal to be implemented.

Please take it into consideration!

Hi petar777, thank you for your suggestion, I added it on our list, unfortunately I cannot way if will be implemented or when, this depends on our managers and developers.
Now in case that this is a must for your website a solution will be to make a request at custom work – https://tagdiv.com/submit-a-request/ and the team from there will implement it for you.
Thank you!

I also wanted to ask you something, I found a set of plugins that really sped up my site. Their developer helped me a lot – he fixed my search speed and increased the speed of my wp-queries from 10 seconds to 1 second and I believe what he did for me can help every user of this theme. Can anyone of your team look into his work and think whether it would be useful because without it I was thinking about looking for a whole other CMS for my website because I have like 500k posts and stuff. I believe it would be great for the theme.

Hi petar777, this will really help a lot of people, especially sites with a high volume of articles. Could you please tell me what are the plugins?
Thank you!

Hey, they are Super Speedy Plugins (thats their name) and their developer has created some fixes based on my website with your theme that increased my speed drastically (I am talking about 10x improvement). I tried contacting your support on email to try and get you in touch with their developer because I am impressed by what he has made on my website. I can show you my staging website and what has happened there. Hopefully in one or two days we will add it to my live website. You can see his discord group here (I asked him if it is okay to share it and I sent it to the support email but I didnt get any response) https://discord.gg/AqSpnCeQnf

I hope it would be helpful to others!

Hi,

Thank you for your input. I’ve forwarded all the details to the news development team, and I hope they will collaborate with the plugin developer to find solutions for enhancing the theme.

I truly appreciate your involvement!
