The issue is to add blocks on the first page with categories defined in the blocks
as a block of news other varieties other sport ... already should have this function in themler for terms that use a plugin ... not cool. It has a competitor who does it see: Profit Builder and really works well it myself from this function but have the je Themler and think it's cool to add this function.

Hi,

if you need to show articles from a specific category on the front page simply choose Category Blog Layout for the home menu item and select desired category. Joomla itself supports this functionality. There is no need to create Themler specific solutions.

Thank you,
Olivia

Hi There, I have the same need, that I want to add posts from a specific category, but it doesn't work because of the following reasons:
1. In the Backend setttings in Menu the box with "categories" is missing. There's one called "Att. categories" which is empty, although I've articles in different categories.
2. I use the plugin "list-category-posts", but when using that I get only the list of the category names and not the complete posts.

This seems to be a template issue? Can you help? thank you in advance.

// Exclude category from homepage
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_exclude_category' );
function my_exclude_category( $query ) {


  if ( $query->is_home ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-4,-1,-5,-6,-22,-44' );
    }


    return $query;


}

You ask for a bit different thnigs. Author of the topic can search on google snippet for limiting from what categories are posts displayed on the frontend. And piut this snippet in Settings tab. Differences will be visible directly in Themler.

wordpress frontend limit categories

I explained here how I did it:

https://answers.themler.com/questions/10934/one-feature-that-would-make-themler-killer

Now is more easier with CMS Code control.
But for that you ask Themler would need to give you option to change loop. CMS Code control cannot do this:

// WP_Query arguments
$args = array (
    'post_type'              => 'test',
    'post_status'            => 'published',
    'category_name'          => 'test-taxonomy',
    'pagination'             => true,
    'posts_per_page'         => '5',
    'order'                  => 'DESC',
    'orderby'                => 'date',
);


// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );


// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
    while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
        $query->the_post();
        // do something
    }
} else {
    // no posts found
}


// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();

And of course for those mini loops you need to delete all from head, footer and body line, or you end with multiple footers, heads, etc.

I agree, i also need a latest posts widget inside themler. ofcourse i can work with the wordpress plugins, but actually themler already has the posts grid, so if we could just put the grid as a control inside the homepage it would be great..... than we can style it through themler...

this can be a great addition in my opinion...

I want to do this same thing but I cant seem to come up with a solution. I've found several widgets that will allow me to do something similar but this REALLY should come from the template somehow... None of the widgets include the same amount of customization and features and Themler does and its unfortunate we cant add this functionality into it somewhere.

Hello, Luis,

I use the plugin List Category Posts (https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/). It does exactly what you want, amigo.

Hello,

Please note that Themler is using the real content from your CMS but cannot influence such content. So in this case the default functionality of Wordpress matters. As there is no special option for this purpose in Wordpress , you may wish trying to create a page and use a plugin on it for this purpose.

Sincerely,
BillionDigital Team
