I deactivated all of the plugins and nothing helped. I’ve tried variations of the layout, and it’s definitely the ‘color section’ option that’s breaking it. Unfortunately, that’s the main function I need for these landing pages that need to live in our blog section.

I’m now testing on our dev site. Your login info still works, but please use this url to log in.

It’s an exact mirror of our live site. I didn’t want to test things out on the live one..

I’d really love to get this sorted as we have decent traffic to those pages and it’s a bad user experience right now.

Hmm. I’m not sure how to make it any clearer than the original post. The category (or archive) page is a list of all blog posts tagged with that category, correct? Some of my blog posts are using the advanced layout. When you select a category page and the blog posts are pulled and displayed, anytime there’s a blog post containing an advanced layout, it breaks the page and spans 100% and pushes my right column, which contains the categories, down to the bottom.

Essentially, I’d love it if the category pages could act like the blog landing page. Is there a way to do that? So it’s just pulling the page title and except with no images, etc? Hopefully that could be an easy fix. I’m using a child theme. I just need to ensure that the category is still highlighted when they’re on that page.

I’m including three screen shots to show what I’m talking about.
1. My blog landing page
2. A category page that does not include a blog post with an advanced layout
3. A category page that does include a blog post with an advanced layout

How would I get the category pages to look like screen shot 1?

I did not modify the archive layout template. My archive pages are broken because I used the advanced layout option on the blog post.

When that blog post is pulled into and displayed on the archive page, it breaks they layout. Is there a number I can call to talk to someone? I don’t think I’m explaining this correctly as I don’t know how to make it any clearer.

Also, the login does work, I just used it. Are you using the correct link I set? I need you to use my dev site, not my live site.

Same login credentials as above. Please help. It looks really bad. This is not something I did custom. I’m using your default setup and it’s not working correctly.

As explained above, having my archive/category page display my blog posts like the blog landing page does would be an OK fix.
