how to make the category page able to use a page layout editor like posts or pages?
I’d like to add sidebars on categories.
ThanksHey Daniele,
You can add sidebars to category pages in the theme options Enfold Theme Options ▸ Sidebar Settings ▸ Sidebar on Archive Pages, but you can not make category pages editable with the Advanced Layout Builder like pages or posts.
You could use a redirect plugin or add a redirect to your .htaccess file to redirect a specific category to a new page which you will create with the Advanced Layout Builder, you can then use the elements to only show a specific category and any other content you wish.Best regards,
MikeThanks Mike.
So redirecting would be the only options right?
Even plug in like “customize sidebars” would not be able to choose category per category which sidebar to show?Cheers
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
You can use plugins like Widget Logic or If Widget to control the visibility of the widgets. This should give you more control over which widgets to display on a specific category page.

It seems that with those kind of plugin it’s allow to singularly control the widget in the widget area, but it will not solve my “problem”.
I was looking for a sidebar editor for categories but categories’ sidebar is always the same as blog’s. Cannot be changed I guess.Regards
Hi,
This is correct, the sidebar itself will be the same, but you can change what widgets show in the sidebar for all categories, or some categories, or even specific categories, depending on how much logic you apply the visibility of the widgets.
I find the Widget Options plugin to work very well for these situations.Best regards,
