Hi, I bought Newspaper theme on 7th of this month, I managed to create a homepage, now my question is about the sidebars. How to make the sidebar’s block 1 to have the same category as the article’s? Also the article title is set to 100% width, I need it within the article container. How to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean. You can change filter posts for block 1 from settings: http://screencast.com/t/2lplEQQa
Also please provide your site URL and some screenshots about title issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry if I didn’t make this clear. The issue I am talking about is articles page sidebar, you can take a look, http://www.techtimesgazette.com, check one of the article, and you find that the sidebar isn’t properly populated with block1 which I set through widgets. I am looking for the block1 to populate all the articles for a particular category that the article is tagged with. Just the category, and not the tags.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please take a look in Theme Panel > Template Setting what sidebar are you displaying for articles: http://screencast.com/t/CSe2u5y1FS1
Also check the category sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/FGVEls1dzc the post uses category sidebar’s settings.
There is a sidebar for your posts, but is empty. So take a look in Widgets if you have maybe you have a custom sidebar empty and also is set for your articles: http://screencast.com/t/jVfFTPL1
Thanks!
Hi Alin,
Thanks for all the 3 screenshots, but I have already did them. I just removed the block 1 and readded it, and it now shows on the sidebar, but it’s all categories block, what I am looking for is the category the article is tagged with. If an article is tagged with a category “smart phones”, I want the sidebar to display all the latest articles from that category “smart phones”.
Also Another question I asked, now I am repeating again, how to move the sidebar up so the article title wont be displayed full page width. Take a look at the page here, http://www.techtimesgazette.com/2015/02/the-order-1886-full-playthrough-leaked-developer-comments-on-clickbait-rumours/
Thanks,

Hi,
1. This can be done only if you create a custom sidebar for each category: http://screencast.com/t/ZVk0Wbmgy
Then add widgets and set to display that specific category’s articles: http://screencast.com/t/PGh35ka5I2y
Result: http://screencast.com/t/4ZjIfzmEPQF
You have to do this for each category.
Also to exclude current post from sidebar’s block you have to edit td_data_source.php and add this code: http://screencast.com/t/YFGmSjRoL
global $post;
if (is_singular()){
$args['post__not_in'] = array( $post->ID );
}
2. This is not possible on post template 5(that you use) without custom modifications, we cannot offer custom work for the moment because we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
Please use the default template and if you don’t want to display featured image please edit loop-single.php and delete this: http://screencast.com/t/0f8k48S4uoM
Result: http://screencast.com/t/CEdnAr3nNB – http://screencast.com/t/wnJzK3qK2FD
Thank you so much Alin, I have made the changes and it looks how I wanted now. Much appreciated.
Thanks,
Esh
