Hi,
Unfortunately blocks cannot detect the post category. Blocks can be filtered from block settings and added to the sidebar from the widgets area but there is no option to detect the current post and grab the category as a post filter. This is done by the related articles section but that element was created that way. Other blocks do not have this option unfortunately.
Thank you!
related articles section not work properly !
Hi,
Please make sure you update your theme to the latest version as there was an issue with the related articles element that was fixed in the current version. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
It would be nice to add “Current category” value in “Category filter:” drop down box, to detect current category.
This way it would be possible to use the same widget for all categories, instead of creating sidebars for each category.
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion. I will pass this information on to the development team.
Thank You!
It’s very odd that the widget blocks don’t filter out the post you’re currently on. What you currently can end up with is the post you’re viewing appearing on the sidebar, which just looks silly. This suggestion seemed to be to prevent that, which seems like a good idea? (Essentially a validation of not showing/skipping the post being viewed)
Hi,
Indeed there is no such detect in our theme and this could happen. This is already on our list though and we will look into it for future updates.
Thank you!
