Hello, I am new to Enfold. I have set up some categories. I want to make the posts in the different categories look different from each other, but I have no idea where to start. I have searched the internet, but can’t find anything. Is there something in the Enfold demo files to get me started? Or is there a tutorial?
For example, when I show the latest post in each category, there is a pale grey bar running across the screen between the header and content, with the word “Blog”. I don’t know why it’s there, how to get rid of it, or how to put something else there.
All help gratefully received.
Hi Geoff!
Thank you for using Enfold.
If you really want to alter the look of a specific category, you have to create a custom template called category-name.php. Refer to this link for more info: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#What_Template_File_is_Used.3F
http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-create-a-unique-wordpress-category-archive-page/You can also use the Blog Posts element to create a page which shows a specific category. The problem is, when a user clicks on a category link, they will be taken to the default category template (archive.php). So if you want to have full control over the category page, creating a template is the way to go.
Cheers!
IsmaelThanks. I’ve read those two links, I have created category-slug.php files for my categories, and put them in my child theme folder. I’m not sure of the next step. Can I use the Avia Layout Builder to design these templates? Or do I have to learn how to code?
For example, when I go to a post, there are arrows at the left and right which take me to previous/following post. But those arrows are oblivious to category. How do I edit them so they stick to one category? Where are they defined? I have looked at several of the Enfold parent php’s and my hunch is that the arrows are “in” loop-index.php. But I have no idea how to start editing the code.
It would be great if you could get me started.
Hey!
Unfortunately, you can’t use the advance layout builder when designing category pages. Yes, it will require custom coding. Please hire a freelance developer. If you want the avia_post_nav (post navigation) to filter the same category, add this to the functions.php file:
add_filter('avia_post_nav_settings', 'avia_post_nav_settings_mod'); function avia_post_nav_settings_mod($settings) { $settings['is_fullwidth'] = false; $settings['same_category'] = true; return $settings; }Cheers!
