I removed the author, date, and comment fields from a Flex block without realizing that it would remove it everywhere that block was used. Now I need to restore it to it’s original form, and just remove it from particular posts. You will notice, if you look at any post on the main page – libertylens.news – that these elements are not present in the byline.
Thanks,
Ken
I also had a custom field (Source) on the second line.
Hi,
Please let me know how you have removed the author/date/comments using the option from the theme panel. if yes, then please enable it, and after you can hide those using the option on the block from the tab layout.
Thank you!
I removed it with the TagDiv editor inside a post. I think I need to clone the block and rename it. I want a block type *with* those elements, and one without them.
Here’s a video explaining the issue.

Does this clarify what the issue is? Can you help me restore the template and create the new one?
Hi,
I understand what you mean and this can be done in a few ways.
The most simple one is to apply de different single post template on the category you have to be different, this can be done in the theme panel – https://i.imgur.com/tAq26ZK.png
A different solution is to manually assign the single post template on those posts (but this will be need to be done on each post that has part from that category).
I hope this will help you!
It help a little, but I don’t understand how to actually DO that. Can you provide a recording? These are the areas where I need understanding and help:
– I don’t really understand the difference between a “post” template, and the “block” templates.
– I need to have different versions of each of these templates.
I need to understand how to modify these templates.
– There appear to be separate templates for mobile and desktop (both block templates and post / page templates.
I had everything the way it needed to be, but I wanted to adjust one template / content type without affecting others. I need help repairing this, and setting myself up for being able to edit templates and content types, independently, without compromising others.
Thanks,
Ken
Hi,
You need to duplicate the single post template and assign the template with the author, comments on the posts you want, and the other on the posts you don’t want to have them. The same steps are for all templates -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-add-different-sidebare-for-different-posts-with-the-same-category/
Thank you!
This article has to do with the sidebar, and it alludes to showing different articles from the same category. That’s a little different from what I’m trying to accomplish, though I know that duplicating the template (and editing one) is part of what is needed. I also need to know how to edit a template and change a post, page, etc from a current template to a new one. I cannot figure out how to do that from the article you provided.
I really need video recordings or something more substantial than these articles, as they just lead to additional questions. I’m sure it’s not that difficult, but the articles and responses are missing the specificity I need.
Incidentally, I removed the former fields with the TagDiv editor inside a post. I want a block type *with* those elements, and one without them.
Hi,
All the elements are in the tagdiv Composer; you can add them like this -> https://we.tl/t-TUydGAcIPv
Hope this help you!
Thank you!
