    I couldn’t find this in a quick search, so I thought I’d ask. Is it possible for me to add categories as menu items at the top of Blog pages? I tried putting it into the field on that page, and nothing happens. Thanks…

    Hey Illingco,

    Could you post a link to the page in question please? Also, where exactly are you looking to add the links?

    Best regards,

    Link sent. Was thinking of a menu below the title/breadcrumb band, above the posts…

    It would be better if you could narrow down where your support may come from, as we have been getting minor attacks from most of those countries and I don’t really want to disable firewalls. Please advise, thanks…

    Hi,

    We are located in the countries Victoria listed. We can tag this topic for moderators located in the US or EU if those countries/areas are allowed?

    Best regards,

    US is allowed and some EU. Please advise if someone in those areas cannot get in. Thank you.

    Hey!

    I am located in Lithuania however i was blocked as well.

    Please go to Enfold theme options > Blog Layout > Blog Layout and choose to use Advanced Layout Builder to create your blog page. Then go to Appearance > Menus and create a new menu and add your categories as menu items and then go to Appearance > Widgets and create a new widget area and add “Navigation Menu” widget to your custom widget area. Finally, edit your blog page and Widget Area element to the top of your page and choose to display your custom widget area :)

    Cheers!

    OK, I have done this and see what you are getting at. See link. But, now when I click on a category, it just gives me posts in that category without the grid format I chose on the main page. I’d like to maintain that grid layout throughout. How do I do this? Thanks…

    Hi,

    In that case, please create new pages for your categories and add Blog Posts element in each page and choose to display only corresponding category. Then you can recreate your menu with new category pages and i think that should do it :)

    But then if someone is in a single blog post and clicks a category, won’t it go to the unformatted category page anyway?

    #1163144

    It also creates a lot more work, especially when adding a category, as I’d then have to manually edit all those pages each time. Essentially, I just want the magazine element portion that shows category links…

    Hi Illingco,

    You can have your category page in the grid by using the code from this thread:

    I think this did it, added as a Snippet to avoid it being deleted on theme updates:

    add_filter(‘avf_blog_style’,’avia_change_category_blog_layout’, 10, 2);
    function avia_change_category_blog_layout($layout, $context){
    if($context == ‘archive’) $layout = ‘blog-grid’;
    return $layout;
    }

    Thank you!

    However, I still cannot create custom category pages as suggested and get the category links to point to those, correct??
