Hi and thank you for any help you might be able to provide. I would like to know if it is possible to embed widget shortcode from external widgets not included with newspaper theme? I’ve spent a few days trying to figure the ins and outs of this theme but have been stumped on a few things.
If you visit http://www.mnfightnews.com you can see my current theme that I’d like to move on from to this one. I have two widgets that I’d really need to be able to bring over but I cannot figure out how to display the shirt codes through composer. I understand that you don’t test these, but I wanted to ask how I would got about it myself? One is shortcode to display my latest asgaros forum topics on the homepage main content area as well as a sidebar.
The other is shortcode to display the latest events from my calendar plugin.
My approach to learning this on my own has been importing the default newspaper theme in composer and sort of customize what shows up. But I’ve been getting stuck with that problem as well as trouble getting the featured sections to only display certain categories but not ALL of them like it defaults to. So my second question would be, how do I go about editing the imported default category displays to just show certain categories? I tried to input the specific ID numbers to the ones that I wanted but it still displayed every category.
Thanks for any help you might have!
Hello !
If you have shortcodes then you can implement them through the Column Text Element from tagDiv Composer in the TEXT tab: https://www.screencast.com/t/StIKlkYQuoXi
Unfortunately you cannot edit the blocks categories list since they are ajax based and are not editable. You can only hide them: https://www.screencast.com/t/xy5NSchZ
I hope this was helpfull !
Thank you !
Awesome, thank you for the help! The main reason I wanted to Switch to this theme was because of the block category feature. I really like that each block can feature the buttons to display other categories. I just wanted to control the content. I was assuming this could be done through the “filters” tabs using category id’s but it didn’t seem to work for me. Maybe I was inputting the id’s incorrectly? I hope that makes sense?
For instance, in the screen shot you sent next to “don’t miss”. I would like to display strictly 4 categories in a certain order. Is that possible?
Sorry for my beginner questions. But I thank you again for any help!
Hello !
Is better to ask than to do something you don’t know !
Unfortunately you cannot choose what categories to be displayed there. The filter tab is to filter what categories are shown in the actual block.
Thank you !
That makes sense. I think this is the last questions then! I noticed in some of the screen shots and examples that different category display blocks show categories in different orders. One will say “all” followed by gadgets. Some will say “all” followed by say, fashion, or lifestyle.
Is there a way that can control which order that the category listings appear? Or maybe Tagdiv has a way or order that the Ajax grabs the categories to display that I could manipulate on the WordPress made on date?
The final question I have is this; is there a way I can practice this theme before going live? I’ve been activating it live, trying to piece it together only to come up short. Then switching back to the old theme and having to redo that While live which is not ideal. Thank you again!!
Hello !
Unfortunately that option is random and cannot be edited. You can make a localhost and work on it exactly like on a live one. Try this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKR2fiMogQQ
Thank you !
