I figured it out and made it work. Two Shortcodes in one column. Not quite sure what I did yet, but it works and I will take a more detailed look later.
This is more or less what I got, but it still didn’t really solve the problem. I have attached a screenshot from the ‘Magazine Pro’ home page template.

What I am trying to do is similar to the top row of this sample, but in the middle of a mobile post (the sample Home template doesn’t keep the top row in mobile version) I tried to replicate this row, but I notice that while I can ‘Display Inline’ a date, I can’t seem to ‘Display Inline’ a subtitle or title. Is that correct? And that is why I can’t achieve what I want to do? Or is there another way to do what I want? i.e. put two shortcodes one after the other in the same inner column?

OK, I solved problem. I reuploaded fonts from scratch and all works. I guess when I had uploaded on dev site wp had inserted an identifier and it didn’t work on new main site, even though domain was same. I reuploaded and problem solved.
PS my next post was going to be about LinkedIn social connector. However I searched forum and your official answer is ‘it doesn’t work at this time’ Any idea when it might work? Next to Twitter, LI is my goto to social media site. (Facebook what?) For a business site, LI is a key SM site. Unless there is some reason, it needs to be there.
Thanks,
BTW, screen shot referred to here (https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-custom-fonts/) I do not see on my panel.
Thank you! New it was simple, just didn’t know where to find it.
Yes thanks, I kind of figured that out over the last couple of days while you guys had Easter. (Happy Easter) Anyway, I think I’ve got things working now. I like your mobile page creation process. Very cool!
Thank you for your reply. You’ve provided some more information, but you still haven’t answered my question: how do you (can you?) turn a page into a template? Sorry to keep pressing you but perhaps there is a knowledge gap I’m missing here that you can fill in: if I understand things correctly, you can’t apply a template to a page, only to a post. Therefore you can’t turn a page into a template, because there is no point, because you can’t then apply it to a page. But what you can do is copy the shortcodes out of a template and paste it into a blank page to use that templates short codes as the core of a page. Alternatively, you can duplicate a page and use it as the basis of another page. Am I getting that right?

Hmm. I am not really sure what the point of your suggestions is here. If I understand what you are saying and your screenshots, it is to (1 and 2) copy the short codes out of one template (Tag Cloud Template) and paste it into another (3 and 4) (Single Cloud Template). And then I assume, save it away? So now the Single Cloud Template becomes the Search Cloud Template? Then I would have a template named Single Cloud Template that is really a Tag Cloud Template? Why would I want to do that? Can you pls clarify because I am confused as to what you are doing and why and how does it relate to the question I asked, which was how to turn a page into a template. Since I posted I have done more exploration, and it seems you can apply a template to a post but not to a page. Is this correct?
Because if so, how do I create/apply a template to a page? Can I do so? Or do I just create a duplicate of the page I want to copy, duplicate it, and then change its name?
And then do I have to create a new mobile page of the duplicated page? (I think I do but it would be nice if it created automatically during the duplicating step.)
Pls clarify, because I am confused about 1/ How to turn pages into templates 2/ how to apply templates to pages

Not sure quite why it happened but after I did a clean install (I decided I had done so much installing and reinstalling of Pre-built websites that I needed to clean things up now that I kind of new what I was doing) it worked. Also I used an ‘Inline Text’ shortcode and that might have had something to do with it. whatever, it looks like I want it to look now. https://moic.onlineinvestmentconference.com.

Wonderful, thanks!
Discovered how to do it. Couldn’t figure out how to ‘Exclude’ Tags so I just ‘Included’ all the tags I wanted based on their ID which you can find by going into Posts/Tags and hovering over the tag you want to include to discover its ID. Then just include all the IDs, separated by commas.
Thanks, I’ll figure out another way to do it.
Thank you! I was using the wrong short code. For some reason I was using the ‘Popular Categories’ S/C rather than ‘Categoris/Tags Lists’ Works fine now, except one more question: how do exclude certain tags? I know with Posts/Pages yu can do – ID# but I tried it with Tags and it doesn’t work. Is there a way to exclude certain tags from showing up in the list?
OK, found out why. Global header template turned on. confusing.
Forget it, I installed on a Linux server.
