Hi I need to separate a new post from showing on the side block, if you see on my index page there is a side block with the tag dive block saying: BID On These Valuables which are separate posts, so what i want is when i write a new post i want it to stay on the index homepage, and somehow writeother posts to appear in the side block BID On These Valuables. Please go to my home index page: http://vards.net/ I want the post: A Brief History of English Coins and Buying a Dresser to just appear on the front page, not in the side block. Hope this maks sense.

Thanks.

Hello,

If you want posts to appear in one block but not the other, then the blocks will need to have different sorting options. The easiest way to do it is to have each block show particular categories. Sort your post in separate categories and have the blocks show just specific ones so that the posts do not get duplicated in multiple blocks on the homepage. Also make sure the posts do not belong to multiple categories as the post will show up in every block that can show that category.
Another type of useful block sorting is to sort the posts by tag. This way you have more precise control over what posts show in which block.
For more details on block sorting please check: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

Thank you!

Hi,

That page you provided leads to a 404 page – http://prntscr.com/kdr9ze

Filtering the content displayed by blocks in pages would not be a difficult task considering the many options available.
Check which categories each block is set to pick posts from. Edit the page with the composer and click on the blocks. See what categories are used
http://prntscr.com/kdrbgv
If 2 blocks have the same filtering the posts will be the same.

The reason a post is showing in a block is because it belongs there according to the filtering you use. It is included in a category used in the filter.

Thanks

Hi,

In this page you display the latest articles since you use the default blog page it seems
http://vards.net/
There is no control over the posts displayed there.

If you were to create a page with and choose the latest articles template
https://www.screencast.com/t/TdIZ3g6uE
Then set that page as homepage
https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
The result will be the same visually. But the difference is that you have control of what is displayed in the page.

The filter settings for the latest articles section are here for example
https://www.screencast.com/t/Jo8bfFfjjdcN
Or here – https://www.screencast.com/t/QQoQiMvp

The latest articles section by default will show posts from all your categories. However it has the same filtering ans sorting as a block

If you don’t want posts from the “Coin Study” category in the latest articles enter the category ID with “-” before it
