Hi!
I create post and put 2-3 categories for created post, then I put one category as a “primary category”. On my homepage I have different blocks and each block is reffered to exact category. I switched on “Unique articles” on my homepage. The problem is that posts marked with “primary category” doesn’t appear in exact category blocks. How can I solve that problem?
My site – novopol.ru
Hello,
The primary category is used only for breadcrumbs and the category thumbnail that shows on the featured image. Unfortunately it does not affect modules and blocks. If multiple categories are set to a particular post, it will display in every block that has one of the post categories specified. So if you set 3 categories to a post and set one as primary, the post will still appear in all 3 blocks if you have them specified with one category each. If you enable unique articles, then the post will display in the first of the blocks and then it will be hidden for the others.
example:
I have one post with 3 categories and 3 blocks each with one of the categories:
without unique articles: http://screencast.com/t/bwAii3V9 no matter the primary category, the post will always show on all 3 blocks because they are filtered by latest articles and this post is the latest one.
with unique articles: http://screencast.com/t/xmIJYvecKz the post only shows up in the first block and then gets hidden by the unique articles function and does not show up on other blocks.
Bottom line: primary category does not affect modules and blocks. The post will display everywhere one of it’s categories is specified.
Thanks.
Thank you!
Are you going to create such functionality for blocks in one page? It will be very good option for site to show post in unique block, filtered by primary category.
Hello,
At the moment we do not have this in plan, but we always try to improve our theme and maybe in a future version, more sorting options will be available.
Thank you!
