one other thing to note, both elementor and divi builder are working fine if i create a new page and use them for that. it’s just on the posts that they wont work… it’s as if the theme is hell-bent on not allowing me to have custom content on my posts!

please, any help would be appreciated because ive invested a lot of time creating this site and now withouyt being able to edit posts, the entire time will be wasted as i’ll have to find a new theme and start from scratch

i deleted my other page builder plugins, i deleted elementor and reinstalled it, and i am still getting the error:

“sorry the content area was not found in your page. you must call ‘the_content’ function in the current template, in order for elementor to work on this page”.

any ideas why this is being an issue?

hi bettina,

i know i can duplicate the templates for each post, but the problem is that over time i will have thousands of posts, and so id literally have thousands of duplicated templates in the backend which would be a total mess!

is there no better way to do this?

i’m also stumped as to why neither of my page builder plugins work on the posts either, as mentioned above. elementor is giving the error that i mentioned

hi bettina,

the problem we are having is that i am trying to hand pick the featured ones for each category so i cant simply set it to displau current category in the filter section of the flex block.

and what is happening is that when i edit the ‘featured’ flex block in category X to display eg posts 175, 176, it edits the category cloud template to display 175 and 176 in the featured flex block on all tag pages that are using that cloud template.

what i need to be able to do is hand pick the featured posts for each tag and category.

it is also doing it for the page title. I’ve inserted a title element into the category/tag cloud template, but when i eg change it to display ‘Featured X’, it changes that in the cloud template too so now if i go on category Y, the title also displays ‘Featured X’ instead of ‘Featured Y’

im not sure if i described the situation well.

so basically i have category X and category Y.

when you visit eg the category page for category X, i have a ‘big grid flex 1’ at the top of the page that is set to show 5 specified posts for category X, and then underneath that i have a posts loop to show the remaining posts for that category.

I want to do the same for category Y, – so i want 5 specified category Y posts in the big grid flex at the top, and then the remaining category Y posts in the posts loop below.

the posts loops are working fine and are only showing posts from the correct category, however the big grid flex and the title at the top (the title being ‘FEATURED CATEGORY X/Y) are the same on both categories, and if i change one, it changes on all categories to be identical.

hi,

sorry im a bit confused. the screenshot says ‘you should place the shortcode in x template). what does this mean? what shortcode?

I’m really confused. i know how to set the filter to eg the current category that the element is built in, however it always seems to make that filter universal across all categories.

hi, unfortunately the website is in maintenance mode so nothing is visible from your end.

also, what do you mean by the type of ads? they are jpegs/gifs that are affiliate links to a crakrevenue ad. the links display as html i believe, but im a novice so cant be sure about code aspects of things

ah this has worked perfectly, thanks
