I am racking my brain to figure out how to alter the output of a category listing page. I’ve opened every file I can think of any can’t find it.

Ideally I would like to show a category archive list of posts that are scheduled for the future but only for one specific category and not others.

I know how to accomplish this with PHP code but not sure what file to use in a child theme.

Please help, thanks!

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in and for the very detailed information. If you want to alter the output of the Events category page, you can simply change the query if the category is Events. Please check out several ways to do it by checking out this page: http://presscustomizr.com/snippet/three-techniques-to-alter-the-query-in-wordpress/

As this is all custom development, regretfully we won’t be able to assist further. Custom development is outside the scope of our support. We’re happy to provide advice and get you started in the right direction, but you would still be responsible for the implementation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for the response.

I understand that you would not support the work but my original question was which file in the child theme needs to be edited.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! As stated on this page; http://presscustomizr.com/snippet/three-techniques-to-alter-the-query-in-wordpress/, you can simply add those function codes in your child theme’s functions.php file. For example;

// Display future posts
// =============================================================================
function display_future_post($query) {
	if ( $query->is_category('Events') ) {
		$query->set('post_status', 'future');
	}
	return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'display_future_post');
// =============================================================================

Hope this explains it.
