Where to submit feedback and feature requests?

Hello, team tagDiv.

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve made a few points for the features that I’d want to request and like to see in the future. Where should I send them?

Hello!

I use this theme very actively and observe and analyze it very closely. I hope these points do not get ignored and find someplace in your checklist. If possible, please have someone from your development staff have a look at this. I’d be grateful. Also, this would make more sense to them. Some of the points that I want to make are—

1.) On news websites that write about the entertainment industry like celebrities, movies, TV, etc, you will see there are multiple types of taxonomy in the same place. What I mean by that is we normally put tags at the end of the content and it only displays one type of taxonomy that is tags or categories, but on some entertainment news websites a new taxonomy is sometimes created, for example, “People” or “Celebrities” to display names of celebrities at the end of content along with tags in the same line. Suppose, you write an article about the top five action movies and you have created a non-hierarchical custom taxonomy called “Movies“. And you put the names of the movies mentioned in that article into the “Movies” taxonomies and use “top movies” as a tag. But now you cannot display both of these taxonomies at the end of the article in a single line using a single shortcode. You have to place two shortcodes in two lines(it looks messy). To get a clearer understanding, you can see at the end of this article, there are quick links. You can see by hovering the mouse over them on the desktop that “Chelsea” is put into the “Team” taxonomy and “Jules Koundé” is put into the “Player” taxonomy. You’ll see the URL in the corner upon hovering. They are all different taxonomies but display in one line as a single element. With the Newspaper theme, it’s not possible. I know it sounds too complicated but I have a suggestion regarding the workaround. I write it below:
a.) The shortcode named “Single Post Taxonomy” can allow multiple comma-separated values for the “Taxonomy” field so that all the taxonomies can be displayed in one place. A new field named “Taxonomy Type” with values “hierarchical,” “non-hierarchical,” and “Both” can also be created for more ease and better UX. I say this because the hierarchical taxonomy shortcode like the one for the categories does not allow background color, border, padding, etc. for the additional text as the shortcode for tags does. This new shortcode after the update can be named something like “Single Post Taxonomies” or “Single Post Multiple Taxonomies”

2.) A feature to display all the posts in a custom post type would be fantastic. A way to design custom post-type archives using cloud library templates and TD Composer. For example, I am using this Web Stories plugin by Google. It’s used to create Instagram-like stories on your website and shows in Google Discover and Search. But I cannot customize the archive page for my stories because it is a custom post type.

3.) I loved the new update. Especially, for its support for custom taxonomies, post types, and fields. One can easily create an archive template for the custom taxonomy but these templates still have very limited support for the custom fields. I’ll try to explain with an example. A tag has a “Name” field for the name of the tag, a “Slug” field for the URL, and a “Description” field for the explanation, which are all default fields. Suppose, I create a new taxonomy called “Celebrities” and I put “Justin Bieber“, “Lady Gaga“, “Tom Cruise“, “Kevin Hart“, and “Beyonce“, in the “Name” field. Now I want to add a custom field “Occupation” in the “Celebrity” taxonomy to explain the profession of the celebrity like “Singer“, “Actor“, “Comedian“, etc. In the Newspaper theme, there is no option to display this custom field information on the archive page of the custom taxonomy. Posts can display custom field information but archive pages cannot. A website called Screenrant has created a “Game of Thrones” tag. But the archive page for this tag displays a lot of information like Cast, Rating, Directors, etc., which are all custom fields. Have a look.

4.) There should also be a feature to show related posts based on custom taxonomies. There is an option to show posts based on categories and tags but no option for custom taxonomies. Suppose, I have written a post about Michael Jackson and I am using a custom taxonomy called “Celebrity” and “Michael Jackson” as a custom taxonomy tag. It would be great if it shows related posts with “Michael Jackson” used as a tag. You can say this can be done with default tags. But in tags, there is a lot of stuff, like topics, celebrities, and other keywords. A custom taxonomy provides more organization to content and it can make related posts more relevant if they show accordingly.

5.) There are three options(screenshot) in a post template to show taxonomies. a.) Single Post Categories, b.) Single Post Tags, and c.) Single Post Taxonomies. I experienced inconsistencies in the sizing convention of these elements meaning they look different with the same paddings.
For example, take a look at this screenshot.

6.) From three of the taxonomy shortcodes that I mentioned in the above point, one of them is Single Post Taxonomy(screenshot) which I only found in the latest update. I realized that it can be used to display any type of custom taxonomy. But it has the same sizing issue. It follows the “Single Post Category” shortcode’s styling. It even shows the same data fields like Tags Order, Tags Limit, and Additional Text. The only difference is you can put any taxonomy in the “Taxonomy field.” Please tell the developers to make the sizing more consistent for similar elements.

I have some more points that I’ll share tomorrow in the same post. For now, this is all. If you want more details on these points, please don’t hesitate.

Thanks.

2.) I could not find any option to edit the custom post type archive page. If you are referring to this, then I should tell you that it only creates single post template for the custom post type. Suppose, you create a custom post type named “Recipes” with the help of “Custom Post Type UI” plugin. This plugin asks you to choose a url slug for this custom post type and you put write “recipe” in that. Now when you create a new recipe post for, say, chicken wings, you write your post and click publish. With the custom post type option provided in the Newspaper theme, you can design how your single post(chicken wings recipe) appear to users. The url will be http://www.domain.com/recipe/homemade-chicken-wings(or whatever). Then you write 10 other recipes. All these recipes are present at http://www.domain.com/recipe/ which is the archive page. But you cannot change its design. Because it is a post format archive and there is no option in Newspaper theme for such archive’s customization. The option you shared with me only designs single posts published under a custom post type and does not designs the archive page that displays all the posts in the custom post type. It is like publishing a post in a category and desining the way it looks but not being able to design how that category archive looks. Just an example.

Thank you.

And what about 1,5, and 6. Are they discarded? Jusk asking.

Thanks a lot, Bettina.

I have a few more points in my mind. Can I write them here or should I create a new post?
