I feel like I’m not explaining myself well enough, so I’ll try this one more time and see if you have any way of assisting in this.

You have created a set of excellent home pages and post page implementations within your demos. We would like to use those, but with the categories and content that already exist within our sites.

We can either 1) import without the demo content, which also comes without the home and post pages that you’ve set up, which we are honestly having a hard time recreating to anywhere near as good.
or 2) import with all of of the demo data, which includes all of your categories, and a huge amount of additional posts, users, etc. that are difficult to remove, and we are having a hard time figuring out how and where to swap in our categories for the demo categories so it functions in the same way.

Also, when we try and import into our staging area, we run into a TagDiv importer detected an error. I’ve gone through all the troubleshooting steps. The only thing I can think if is that it will not let me install full demos a staging site.

I want to use your design, but with my content and catagories. that means with the custom home page and menu designs that you include with the demos. Those don’t get included, unless I include the demo data, which has a great deal more then I need, including users, content, etc.

I’m having a very hard time rebuilding to what you have, without doing the full demo data import, but when I do so, it is very hard for me to get rid of the excess demo material and to swap in my catogories in place of the ones that are already there so they are what appear in the home page menus and sections.

I’m running into exactly the same problem. I think part of the issue is that there is no in between import. It is ether the full demo or without your content. We would like access to the home pages that you built, but using the categories that we have, and in my case, already exist. When we do the full content import, we have a large amount of irrelevent content to hunt down and remove, and I for one, can’t figure out how to replace the categories that are your demo content with ours and have the pages behave in the way they do for the demo.

gpldev…does that match what you are looking for?

Hi,

Can you update this to work with the current version of Newspaper. It’s exactly what I’m looking for to sort my events properly.

Ben

Ok…forget about The Event Calendar. Do you have any means of displaying the built in Events within wordpress by event date order? If I can see that, I’ll know how to go and fix this.

I went looking through the samples, and coudn’t find any examples of Events treated in this way.

I’m frankly utterly shocked. If the nature of the theme is newspapers, being able to promote/list events is one of the most basic functions. And doing so would always be by soonest to latest.

Ben

so what about the question of activating it on the staging site, and then deactivating and moving it to the main site?

Ben

Were you ever able to get this solved? I’m trying to use the Events Calendar Pro and am running into the same issue.

Ben

Did you ever get a solution to this? I’m trying to get any of the blocks to sort by date from the Events Calendar, and I’m running into the same issue.

I have the same question.
