    Hi,

    We seem to be having an issue with the blog layout.

    We have set the option in Theme Options > Blog layout to Use the advance layout editor to build.

    We then set theme options > where do you want to display the blog, to the page that has been created with the advanced layout editor.

    When we view the page it is just the blog posts in one column, not the layout specified in the advanced layout builder.

    If we select a different option from Blog Layout > Blog layout, for example Grid Layout, this changes the layout of the page, but if we select advanced layout builder this does not change?

    Many Thanks,
    James

    Hi Rikard,

    We have found the problem using a test site, we will have to find a way around it.

    We use the Yoast SEO Plugin, which gives the option to ‘Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL.’ This then causes the setting for using advanced layout builder not to work. So instead of category/news, our URL is /news/ which causes a conflict.

    Many Thanks,
    James

    Hi,

    I’m not sure about that. We have the Yoast plugin installed but we don’t encounter the error. Please post the login details here so that we can inspect the issue. Note that the blog layout settings will not affect the archive (category/tag) pages. If you need to specify a default blog layout for archive pages, add this in the functions.php file:

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

    Available layout are single-small, single-big, blog-grid and multi-big.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    I’ve put the login details in the private section.

    http://socialphoto.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_advanced&tab=permalinks This is the settings page that causes the issue. On our live site we use the setting: Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL.

    Cheers,
    James

    Hi,


    @JustCodingStuff    : We tried to login to the site but we encountered a 403 error. Yes, the SEO option “Strip the category” is causing the error. Please disable it for the time being then install this plugin to strip the base url: https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-category-base-wpml/

    For everyone else here, please follow the temporary solution above. If possible, please open a ticket in the Yoast forum for additional help regarding the issue.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    spoke to soon.

    After disabling the category strip in yoast it work. But after installing https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-category-base-wpml/ it stopped working again and only show the one post.

    I have now disbaled the plugin and deleted the cache but its not changing at all.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    It is a slug conflict between the page “News” and the category “News”. We changed the url of the “News” page to “newspage”. http://www.gsdecorating.com/newspage/

    Best regards,
