    I would like to set the layout of archive and category pages to match the layout of my blog page. Specifically, I’d like those pages to show an excerpt with a read more link and display the featured image in all cases (not video, audio, gallery, etc). That is, I’d like my blog page and my archives to use exactly the same layouts for each article. Is there a way to do this? See below for an example of the two pages looking substantially different.

    Hey!

    Try adding this at the very end of your theme / child theme functions.php file:

    function change_blog_archive_style() {	
	global $avia_config;
	if(!is_single()){ $avia_config['blog_content'] = "excerpt_read_more"; }
}
add_action('get_header', 'change_blog_archive_style');

    Cheers!

    Thanks. That’s very close! The only thing missing is the featured image. See the first private link I sent you above. How can I add the featured image in?

    Thanks!

    Try adding this too:

    add_filter('avf_blog_style','avia_change_archive_blog_layout', 10, 2); 
function avia_change_archive_blog_layout($layout, $context){
	if(($context == 'archive') || ($context == 'tag')){
		$layout = 'single-small';
	}
	return $layout;
}

    Cheers!

    Hi bulewold,

    Can you give us more context?
    Like you want blog use grid layout but on category or tag pages use this layout, etc.
    If you remove this part of the code:

    ($context == 'archive') ||

    it should not affect the blog page but it will also not affect archive pages.

    Best regards,

    Thanks for the help. So this is what we’re trying to do. We want ALL pages (blog page or categories, tags pages to have same grid look like this:
    new.i3fl.com/blog/
    where you get grid + read more link at the bottom.

    This is current category page:
    new.i3fl.com/category/chiropractic/

    I did remove context == archive you mentioned which fixed the view but it doesn’t have read more link.. how can I add read more link?

    Thank you!

    Hi bulewold,

    Try to copy archive.php from Enfold to your child theme then in line 52-60:

    $atts   = array(
    'type' => 'grid',
    'items' => get_option('posts_per_page'),
    'columns' => 3,
    'class' => 'avia-builder-el-no-sibling',
    'paginate' => 'yes',
    'use_main_query_pagination' => 'yes',
    'custom_query' => array( 'post__in'=>$post_ids, 'post_type'=>get_post_types() )
);

    replace it with:

    $atts   = array(
    'type' => 'grid',
    'items' => get_option('posts_per_page'),
    'columns' => 3,
    'class' => 'avia-builder-el-no-sibling',
    'paginate' => 'yes',
    'use_main_query_pagination' => 'yes',
    'contents' 	=> 'excerpt_read_more',
    'custom_query' => array( 'post__in'=>$post_ids, 'post_type'=>get_post_types() )
);

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
