A true blog experience…

Hello, im working on a project that focuses on a few key “Topics/Categories” but i can’t seem to find an SEO friendly way to develop the site using the enfold theme…

So to start, i plan on having a home page, that pulls in articles from several different post categories as well as displaying some static content. To do this im using the magazine short code which looks great and I think I have this sorted.

When it comes to the post categories, I wanted to create a page for each one say “Technology” and I wanted to customise that page to include some of the latest post entries using magazine, some static content and images related to the category. This page looks great in theory (when the content gets posted) and i’m happy with it!

My problem comes when I start writing the articles, and putting them in post categories. If i create the category “Technology” and assign a post to that category, all of the meta, breadcrumbs, link to the archive for that category, and the only way that I can get them to link to the “nicely designed page” is by 301 redirecting the archive. Which is not ideal.

Surely there is a way to customise the look and content of the archive pages easily? So that my categories can be a little bit more in-depth than just a long list of posts… ?

I’m not sure if what im trying to acheive makes sense but hopefully it does…
