Hi,
Is there a way to stop posts repeating on a page?
I have several blocks on one page, and as my site is new I don’t have many posts therefore they are repeating the same content.
Is there a way to ensure things are not repeated? Or would I just need to play hugely with tags and categories.
Hi notjustpcs,
Normal if you are using the “Unique articles” all the posts should be display only once on page, usually when this option is not working is because of some untested plugins.
Another way to set the articles only once on a page is to use the offset option from blocks/grids, this option can be set using tagDiv Composer -> https://i.imgur.com/8yHfQMq.jpg you can check more about this option in our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
May I chime in here?
@calin: I am working with templates, so the old page-based unique articles option seems out. That would have achieved what I need.
Your suggestion to offset posts, only works on blocks next to blocks. But, is there a way to have a single post, with a “more from this category” in the (virtual) sidebar, AND have all articles unique?
Essentially, a template with the old page option “unique articles only”.

Hi andxtagdiv, the unique articles option is available only on pages. For example if you are using a single post template from tagDiv Cloud library and you edit it with tagDiv Composer, you’ll see that these blocks that are inside the article are using some filters -> https://i.imgur.com/G7pXL2x.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/8QICpzQ.png now the thing is that more blocks you have more set, there are more changes to be display a duplicate post, a solution will be to display posts from different categories.
Thank you!
Hi Calin,
Thank you. We will keep to doing offset posts then.
Hey. I have such a problem. there is a category – it is displayed as:
CATEGORY TEMPLATE: style5
CATEGORY TOP POSTS STYLE: Grid 7
ARTICLE DISPLAY VIEW: Module 7
It is displayed like this – grid 7 (7 posts), then it goes from 8 post to 30 (for example)
How to make ARTICLE DISPLAY VIEW: Module 7 – display not from 8 records (offset). from 1 post.
i want to remake CATEGORY TOP POSTS STYLE: Grid 7 to featured (in the future)
Hi wmvova,
What you want is to have some more control over the categories template, unfortunately this can not be achieve with the standard category templates -> https://i.imgur.com/d1ycAMf.png, you need to use cloud category templates for tagDiv Cloud Library, these can be edited using tagDiv Composer and you can set on grids and blocks the settings you want.
Hope this will help you!
