    I have a question regarding the layout of category pages. As far as I have reasearched in the forum, I have two options to influence the layout for categories:

    1. A) Changing the category PHP-file with custom coding (very difficult)
    2. B) Having a page for each category and use the layout options from the avia builder (easy)

    As option A seems rather difficult, I would prefer to go for option B.

    My questions:

    1. 1. What would you recommend for the URLs for the categories? Implement 301 redirects from the category URLs to the layouted pages?

      2. Example: http://www.mydomain.com/category/news/ would be redirected to the nicely layouted page http://www.mydomain.com/blog/news/

    2. 2. How does it affect the URL for the RSS feeds? Do I need to redirect them as well?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel!

    You can change the blog style in Dashboard > Enfold > Blog Layout. This effects the archives (category pages) as well.

    Other than that you could edit the archive.php file and use the do_shortcode function, https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode, to create your own layout. I don’t recommend doing redirects.

    Cheers!

    Hi Elliott,

    thanks for getting back.

    And it also works when you choose to use the advanced layout builder in the dropdown here Dashboard > Enfold > Blog Layout so that the categories also take the same layout?

    Hey!

    Yes, the category archives will use the same layout as the blog layout you set there.

    Regards,
    Elliott
