set up page called blog (referenced in customize to use that page for the blog) used visual composer and selected template – homepage – magazinly, went into slide and added info, updated (published) went to preview changes and it takes me back to home page not blog, when I do click on blog it looks the same as it did before I made the changes with my posts all on there but no slider or anything else, just set up like module 5.
Then tried deleting the template and just made a slider, and added info asked for and still it takes me to homepage not blog, and my blog is the same as it was previously.
my website is diabetesnewshound dot com
Ok I see a problem, the theme has a selection called blog and it has modules in it, none of which I want as I want to create my own blog page with the style that I want (hence buying a theme that has a page builder).
So how do I select my page called blog created by me, and override the theme settings for blog that forces me to choose modules for a layout.
I don’t want to call the blog a different name.
Ok tried renaming the page to ‘our blog’ to see if this fixed the problem and it did not it still sends me to my homepage and again when I click on ‘our blog’ it shows the setup chosen under options for blog, so still stuck on creating a page designed by me and getting it to show.
Gosh this not making for a nice website, or experience, please help.
I created a test page called test page and went through adding a template, publishing it, then preview and it works perfectly, so cant understand why I can not have a page called blog that works, or even our blog (which I don’t want to call it), driving me nuts!
Seems that I am in Australia, and when someone does answer I will probably be asleep.
Cant seems to edit my first post so have to keep re-posting, where did that edit button go! lol
Hello,
You can create a homepage like you want and you can select that page as font page from here: http://screencast.com/t/3VuEt2TLFXQ and also the same for the blog.
The theme is very flexible, you can create the blog page like you want with pagination and above you have visual composer for other block content as unlimited combination.
If you want, please read the theme documentation, we have some videos to http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/
This will help you to understand how the theme work.
If you don’t manage it,m you can send us access to your WordPress and we will take a look. contatc@tagdiv.com
Thank for the message!
I have the documentation out all the time, I have built many websites, I did what you said by following the document instructions and it did not work, cant see how doing the same again will work. I sent login details so this can be fixed, did you check it out?
I need the front page the way that I set it up, this is a silo website therefore can not be built in that fashion.
Apart from adding back in the sidebars and filling the top footer with links to bleed my site of juice (which I spent time removing) I am not sure I ended up with anything that I can use.
Maybe most people don’t read documentation or watch the videos, I did all that before even buying the website, but if I follow the instructions and if that does not work I will contact you, so please stop telling me to read the instructions.
UPDATE: I moved everything back how I want it, and removed the changes you made.
The only thing I needed was for the page that I call blog to be the one that shows up under blog, it still does not do that instead it shows the blog index set up, can you please look, and leave all my other pages alone, including my front page which is how I want it. Leave the sidebars alone and the footer.
I hope you will be around tomorrow as at this point it would be easier to go back to the theme that I had.
Sorry I sounded a bit blunt, it does seem a good theme, a bit different with how you have integrated the theme options and I can see that you are staying up to date with things as regards updates.
And I do need a working blog that suits my style. Please have a look and tell me what I need to change to have the page I called ‘blog’ load up under menu item ‘blog’ and not redirect me to the ‘home’ page.
Ok, thought it over and I give up. 3 days of trying to make this work and still having to keep my theme hidden I want a refund and I will go back to my old theme I cant wait any longer for you to make my blog work.
Be aware that some hosting providers create a directory in your public root by default as /blog/ as a default install for blog software outside of the public content sometimes built with hosting co pagebuilder.
In some WP installs you can’t create a page/menu item called “blog” that would go to http://yoursite.com/blog/ due to the directory existing.
This may be totally unrelated to your situation. But this happened to a pal once and deleting the existing /blog/ folder in the public root fixed it.
Again, may not be related, but one thing to consider.
