If i wanted to (down and dirty) edit the actual PHP page used to display posts, how would i go about finding that? It seems to not be the standard “single.php” inside the theme folder. I am having quite a time tracking it down through the plugin folders/code… the closest I’ve been able to get it locating “wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/state/single/tdb_state_single.php” but it seems like this is only a function that is called and not the area where i could edit the html of the post content that is displayed?
Hello !
Please note that if you’re using default post templates you will find the files needed for the posts as you can see them here: https://www.screencast.com/t/u09U5fonB
If you’re using cloud library template you will have to edit the files found in here: https://www.screencast.com/t/dHHfu3UYVkW
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
thank you. yes it was very helpful. i have another question. not ure if i need to make a new thread or if i can just ask here… my old theme used primary categories. when i am testing out the newspaper theme, it doesn’t appear like any of them carried over. it has all the categories for a post, but it doesn’t not show what is the primary category… is there anything i can do to get it to notice m old primary category.. the site as over 3000 posts, so it is not an easy thing to go back and reset it post.
(i do see where i could set it on a post-by-post basis, but if i want it to use the existing field i had for the primary category.. how can i do that?)
Hello !
This implies doing it manually, You can talk to our developers here and they may create a custom code or something for you: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/ Give them a message here and let them now what you want to achieve.
Thank you !
I’d rather not have to pay a customization service just to GET BACK functionality my old (FREE) theme had – the ability to use YOAST primary categories… I just want the same ability I had before , ie, to be able to set parent/sub-parent categories… Please let me know what we need to do to get this working like it was?
Hello !
Each theme has it’s own way of functioning. Without custom work we are afraid that this is not possible, Yoast option won’t work either.
If you want we are able to offer you a refund if you make a request here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new
We are sorry for the inconvenience !
Thank you !
I appreciate the anwsers…
can you let me know how much this will cost (ie, making this theme use (our existing) primary categories and subcategories), and how long it would take?
We also need to make sure that when we go forward with this that the existing categories we have will be carried over to the posts (around 3000) of them…
One last thing, what did you mean when you said “Yoast option won’t work either.”…None of our META tags or other YOAST SEO options won’t be able to be used on the posts?? If this is true, do you all recommend an SEO plugin to use with this theme? (YOAST is one of the top SEO plugins… I’m sure you must get this question a lot… Google says there are over “5+ million active installations ” of YOAST so if this paid plugin can’t use it we may have to get the refund like you mentioned…
sorry, last sentence was supposed to be paid “theme” not plugin… but please advise on all points mentioned in my comment from yesterday afternoon… =)
Hi,
SO if you want to set a category as primer you can do it using our guide from here -> https://i.imgur.com/NY9swxL.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/ -> https://i.imgur.com/KJI6IVI.png also the category can be create in this place -> https://i.imgur.com/iFbh9mW.png but if you used a different theme and you have set on it some primary category, then is very possible that our theme to no recognize theme.
Also what Vlad S. meant with “Yoast option won’t work either.” was refer to the primary categories, if the theme do not recognizes from the old one, even Yoast will not be able to help.
If I do not understand correctly what you meant, please provide some more details and some example, maybe there was an misunderstanding.
Thank you for your understanding!
Got it.. I have another question:
Is it possible to edit the code behind one of the grid layouts? For example, Big Grid Flex 6 – I want to change some of the smaller images to no longer use a category, but to show a random quote/image. I have this functionality, both as a third party plugin, and as a custom PHP page I wrote (I am a programmer)… I don’t see how the TD composer can let me change a block in the grid to a 3rd party shortcode, but if I could locate the exact PHP page that writes the grid out, I could figure it out on my own…
any ideas?
Hi,
If you want to take a look to the Big Grid Flex 6 class/php file you can find it on this path -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/includes/shortcodes/td_block_big_grid_flex_6.php and also check this file -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/includes/td_config.php -> https://i.imgur.com/Km9UJiY.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
