    Hi Rikard,

    I would like to present my category and tag archive pages masonry style. I tried using the recommended way by changing blog layout to the option <Use advanced layout builder to build your own blog layout> and edited the page defined in theme options (And where do you want to display the Blog?) with the ALB to contain a masonry grid. Doesn’t work.
    This obviously has been solved, but I can’t find the solution here. Please help!

    PS My site is in Dutch. I would be happy to have a TeamViewer session or similar if that is a problem. Also, I would better understand what goes wrong.

    Hey Frits,

    Thanks for the login details. Is your blog page the page in private? If you then you need to unset that in the theme options, as the default template will be used otherwise. The category and tag pages are not editable with the Layout Builder unfortunately.

    Best regards,

    Hi Rikard,

    Thanks for looking into this.

    The link you sent links to the category archive “Nieuws”

    The page defined for the blog layout is NIEUWS (find it in dashboard > pages). It is not set as private (prive) as you can see from the dashboard.

    Even if I open the page directly from the dashboard, it does not show the masonry grid defined on the page though. How is that?

    A post I found, suggested the category and tag archive pages can use the format defined in the blog page.
    Step 1. Make a page with masonry layout in the advanced layout editor
    Step 2. Define this page as your blog page in Enfold options
    Step 3. Set the blog layout to “Use the advanced layout editor to build…” in Enfold Blog Layout

    Is it not possible for the category and tag pages to use the layout defined in the blog page? Would it be a valid change request?

    Regards,

    Frits

    Hi,

    The page in private is set as your blog page in the main page of the theme options, if you want to use your own layout for the blog page then you need to unset that page from the theme options. Please try that out.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    HI Rikard,

    Thank you for looking into it. I think we have semantic issue: What do you exactly mean with “The page in private”?

    If it should not be defined as the default blog page, ho does the category archive page know what page to use?

    Regards,

    Hi Frits,

    What I mean by “the page in private” is the page I linked to in private :-) The part of my response which is not visible to any other users but you.

    I’m not sure what you mean by your second question, but the category/archive pages uses a template which can’t be controlled by the Layout Builder. If you want to change those pages then you would have to edit archive.php in a child theme.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
