Hello,
I have a few questions, to which I hope I can find some solution.
I used to have 20 websites and I’ve just merged them into 1 large website. It happens that among the 500+ pages I have now, 95% are pages, and not posts. I have always used pages as posts and vice versa over the years on my former websites
I realize now, after having imported everything, and put it all in order, that pages have very few rights, be it in the composition of articles or display features. What would seem simple is to use a plugin that will transform all the pages into posts but this will mess up in depth the thousands of internal links, linking articles between themselves.
I’d have the first following questions that concern giving the same features to pages as posts:
1) In “related posts” or to display social networks, can this appear in pages and not posts only ?
2) In the mega menu, only posts appear, not pages, is there a way around it? Because of that I have categories that display nothing as I’ve no posts, but only pages.
3) All in all, is there anything I can do to for the pages to be used and display like posts ?
Other questions:
A) In the mega menu, as in http://www.consobrico.com, if you check the menu with “Salle de bain”, only the first 7 or 8 categories are displayed. However I have 11, but unless the visitor know he needs to scroll down within the menu, these are invisible. Is there a way to have all the categories displayed ?
B) In the category section, for ex: http://www.consobrico.com/category/salledebain/colonne-de-douche/ is it possible to have infinite scroll or “display more’ rather than Page 1/3, Page 2/3 etc…
C) I seem to have mistakenly erased the contact page ex: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/contact/ with the contact box, etc.. how can I retrieve it?
D) I’ve always used for almost all my content creation the “Thrive Content Builder” plugin. It seems to work nicely with the theme, however it doesn’t display the summary in categories for example http://www.consobrico.com/category/salledebain/colonne-de-douche/ (if you need my login details, let me know where I should send you send these to).
Sorry for all these questions, hopefully we can work out solutions.
Thanks again.
John
Hi,
1/2/3 Unfortunately these theme features are built to work just with posts not pages and to make them support and use pages you need to customize the theme and practically rebuild the function for related articles or socials.
Currently we’re working on adding custom post types support for blocks so once this support will be implemented pages could also be used as CPT like you need them now. Sorry!
a) That section is set with css to have a maximum width of 252px, you can rewrite tat rule using this css: http://screencast.com/t/iQh6wzCx9M
.block-mega-child-cats {
max-height: 500px;
}
Add it in theme panel > custom css section.
b) Unfortunately not because the load more/infinite or next/prev pagination only works on blocks and it can’t be used on loops. Sorry!
c) If you can’t find it in trash to restore it: http://screencast.com/t/icNXEwjZ8rH you can rebuild it and use this content, it’s the demo contact page content: http://pastebin.com/eTt6WVNS – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/contact/
d) I see you have adjusted the category to use pages so the excerpt function may also need to be adjusted to return page content, I’m not sure but you can take a look at it here: http://screencast.com/t/FKJMzRKrKWpn
Hope this helps!
Sorry for the delay!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
For the posts, i’ll try to find another solution. I can understand that this cannot be changed.
A) For restoring the contact page, I went and copied paste the link you gave me. Here is the result
http://www.consobrico.com/contactez-nous-3/
It seems like the contact form is not displaying at all. Did I miss anything?
B) I also wanted to tell you that I’m unable to change the footer 1, 2, 3 as in the consobrico.com. It still displays EDITOR PICKS, EDITOR PICKS, and POPULAR CATEGORY, even if I put in new widgets in footer1, 2, 3. If I put in a widget in footer 1, it displays the widget BELOW Editor’s pick, not INSTEAD of editor’s pick. Not sure if that’s a bug?
A few things that need to be dealt with, otherwise I love the theme. Looks fantastic.
Thanks
Hi,
a) You have to make sure that you have the contact form plugin installed and active then create your form and replace that shortcode with your own form shortcode: http://screencast.com/t/rLIPYxzHswle
b) You also have to change the footer template, please see our docs on this here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Thanks
All good now thanks, I fixed everything thanks to your advice. I’ll contact you if anymore questions. But thanks again for your great support.
Footer Template:
Please suggest which one is Editor’s Pick block? I have tried to follow the other links what you have shared already, but they are of no use or at least I could not understand it.
How to add it back if got moved from Home Page?
Honestly, this particular section on Home Page is not user friendly. Other things are so easy to set up.
Also, please suggest what each block has, as I always struggle and waste time in searching it.
Also, is it possible that we can completely remove the NAME : Editor’s Pick and drop other widget there?
Hi,
The theme has some predefined footer templates and you can set it from Theme Panel > Footer – http://screencast.com/t/7F5ipHhpX So this block(Editor Picks) is added directly in the footer template code – http://screencast.com/t/mQOv1TaK2JY you can set it only if you alter the code.
For Editor Pick is used block 7, so if you want you can use it in the page content, just add it using Visual Composer pagebuilder – http://screencast.com/t/V2IaDhC713 – http://screencast.com/t/nVzkaifXIR
You can check theme’s documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ and we have also some video tutorial on youtube – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWqozuqmJk
If you want to add your own widgets to the footer area, just use a style that allow you to add theme from Widgets area, for example – http://screencast.com/t/6eANPEtB5gRD – http://screencast.com/t/e5OoEmIeXjd If you only want to translate Editor Picks, you can do this from Theme Panel > Translations section – http://screencast.com/t/zOwQz0WJj6
Hope this helps!
