Thanks, I understand that. But there’s nothing in my code that would be picked up by an ad blocker (it currently just points to another page on my site, and uses an image also hosted on my site…which is not blacklisted)…so perhaps there is something in the Newspaper (php?) code which is the problem, and which I could modify? You can probably examine it at hownottosail.com … This has been a problem for a while.

Vlad, I don’t see any way to get to the filter on the category page (see screenshot). I know how to do it on homepage via “Edit with TD Composer,” but that’s not an option I see in the Podcast category page here…

I appreciate the follow-up, Catalin. But once again, your example is using the image as a background-image: attribute behind the block title, and I need to use the content: attribute along with the :after pseudo-class to place the arrow after the title. It works fine as I showed above if I write the rule generally for all .block-title instances. But I can’t seem to get the selector to work just for that one particular .block-title.

So, I had a little different thing in mind…and it’s *almost* working, but I’m pulling my hair out here. LOL. https://www.hownottosail.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Pasted_Image_4_16_19__09_15-copy.jpg

It works perfectly in Inspector to say:

.td_uid_7_5cb55c653a7ce_rand .block-title:after {
    content: url("https://www.hownottosail.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/podcast-arrow-e1555420046659.png") !important;
}

…but it doesn’t work in Theme Panel CSS.

I *can* get *every* block title to display the arrow after but doing this:

.block-title:after {
    content: url("https://www.hownottosail.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/podcast-arrow-e1555420046659.png") !important;
}

…but I can’t get it to work with the specific .block-title only.

I’ve tried both ::after and :after, using double, single, or no quotation marks around URL, http vs https, you name it…

What am I missing here, Catalin? Thanks!

Perfect, thanks, Simion!

Thanks, Calin. Is there a way to make this work if, for example, one block might need to be “latest” but another might need to be “random” or “featured”…? For example, I’d like the first block to show 3 Featured posts (so I would only have 3 posts categorized as Featured at one time)…but in random order. Or specified by post ID. Then in my “Latest” block (which is a post loop), I’d like those to be the latest, but exclude anything in the first block. Thanks!

Thanks, Simion!

(Sorry to double-reply…but I just noticed, it looks like the behavior on the default “Lastest Articles” section is different, if you use Pagebuilder + latest articles + paginator for the page: In that case, it loads the next group of posts and hides the sections above “Latest Articles”. That behavior seems good for what I want. Is there a way to enable *that* behavior with the post loop I’m using?

Thanks, Simon. I was really hoping for the numbered style with ajax pagination. Is there no way to accomplish that? I feel like the numbered style is commonly expected (and easier to see than the small/light Next and Prev, for example), but reloading the whole page and jumping back to the top seems unhelpful. Can I maybe do a child theme and modify? Or is there another solution? The placement of the numbered pagination also seems to suggest it would just operate on the block. If it were operating on the page, it seems like it should be placed centered just above the footer?

Thanks again, Simon! I know everybody has details and features they want. LOL. This is a great theme!

Okay, so I’ve created my own “Latest” section using TD Composer and the Default setting on the homepage. Everything seems good *except* when I click on the pagination icons, it reloads the whole page instead of just the “Latest” section. Is there a way to avoid that and just load the next (previous) group of posts in the “Latest” section only? Thanks! http://www.HowNotToSail.com

FYI, I just made some changes to the social sharing icons choices (removed Google+, added email sharing icon, stumblupon, etc…and now I can’t get the whatsapp icon visible. (http://www.HowNotToSail.com)

Ah, perfect, thanks! I appreciate the helpful replies to both of my posts.

(Actually, I could just use page builder, but I want the pagination style that’s built into “Latest Articles” instead of the very basic styles that come with the tagDiv composer blocks.)

Yes, I’m aware, thanks. I’ve been styling with CSS for some time. But the answer is…????

That’s great, thanks!

(I don’t see any of those templates (for pages…maybe for posts) that allow for a full width block along with a background color or image.)

finester11

So is there no other way to modify (CSS, etc.) so that you can have full width grid with a specified background color?

finester11

Is there no way to have full width items with a background color? (see https://www.staging1.themultimedianinja.com ). And unfortunately if I clear the background color, the first grid is full width…but now the menu bar is boxed!

After a few more hours, it looks like the issue may have been Jetpack setting to serve images from their global CDN…
