1. Yes I am getting the same and its is ok.
2. yes you are perfectly right, I need the featured image only on the grid views and not on the article itself. I want this function only on Smart List not on Standard Post. Are you sure that smart list template 1 to 6 on cloud use the featured image only on the block / grid ? let me try it. – yes it is perfect !!
3. This is amazing good to have a ready to see example.

Thankyou very much

I think may be my question was not framed the right way or i didnt know what to call it. i found the solution. Actually in the Newspaper theme it is called Smart List.

1. Ok now I have set up a smart list and during preview I cant view it as smart List. why does this happen ? also the Post templates in my Post > Post Settings are kind of greyed out or washed out (like kind of inactive) Same is the case for the Smart list templates. should i activate something or install something to activate the post templates and smart list templates.

2. I have create a smart list and choosen Smart List 3, I published the smart list without a featured image because I didn’t want the featured image appearing on every slide. then the front page appears without a featured image if I use the featured image then every page has this image and the actual slide or list item image is not appearing fully.

you can check out the issue at https://wowdrobe.in/prettiest-chandbalis-worn-by-bollywood-divas/

Is there a way to set up the smart list with featured image but hide them on individual post pages?

3. is there a demo page demonstrating each kind of Smart list on one of your demo websites ?

I found another way to get those icons. Apart from Fontawesome and tdc fonts there are quiet few other very useful fonts too.

for the sake of others who come across such issue the list of icon fonts can be seen by inserting an icon in one of the page elements and all the icons are visible.

thanks a lot for the link too.

ok ! is it possible to share the list of icons i can use from your library without installing fontawesome

like in the below example

<i class="tdc-font-tdmp tdc-font-tdmp-home"></i>

this one is for home, your designer would have included many more like this in this custom font used.

if can share a list will be of great use.

may be the term i use is not right i don’t know if i should call it gallery. the word slider may be appropriate. kind of News slider. some time a post has multiple short bit of news which can be combined into one Post and each slide displays an image on the right and news related to the image on the left. clicking next will go to the next news bit, without leaving the page.
