Hello! I am setting up many different blog pages – one as the main blog page and the rest as categories. when i edit the customizer, it only changes a couple of the pages and leaves the rest as they were before.

example:

how I want the blog page/ category to look:
http://www.lesamone.com/category/lifestyle/

how I do not want them to look:
http://www.lesamone.com/category/travel/

how can i get them all to look uniform?

also how do i get rid of the /category/ slug in the url? I want it to just say http://www.lesamone.com/travel

thank you.

Hi there,

You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

.blog .x-header-landmark {
    display: none;
}

I see that you have already removed category slug.

Thanks!

Thanks Darshana!

One last thing, I want to use different pages as categories for my blog. I do not want one specific “blog” page. How do i go about setting this up? The category pages work well for all but one (the most important) category – Travel.

I do not want to specify it as a the “post page” in reading, because it will not filter out the posts into just travel only.

any tips on how to achieve this?

Hello There,

Do you have a page named travel and then a category Travel also? You might be having a permalink issue. Upon checking, this page is your default blog page:http://www.lesamone.com/travel/. But then if you also have this http://www.lesamone.com/category/travel/ you might have an issue depending on permalink setting. Please do give us admin credentials on a private reply so we can check.

Hi there,

What was the issue? You set this http://www.lesamone.com/travel/ as your blog home page. Hence, it will not pick posts from travel category, but it will pick all posts since that’s the main role of a blog home page. What you could do is just unset your Posts page (setting it back to –select–). Then use the travel name for your category.

Thanks!

Hi Rad. I do not want a blog home page. I want different category pages. when I set the “travel” category as a page, and unset the Posts page, the travel category page is blank.

http://www.lesamone.com/travel/ – is blank instead of showing the posts in the travel category

Hi there,

That’s because it’s a page 🙂 You’ll have to delete that page. Currently, you have the category named “travel”, and page “travel”. And because of this, your category “travel” is overridden by your page “travel”.

The main purpose of /category/travel/ is to avoid name collision with the page with the same name, but since /category/ is now removed, then, of course, there will be a collision between the two.

Go to Admin > Pages and find Travel, then delete it, and remove it from your trash.

Thanks!

Still doesn’t work 🙂

I’ve deleted the travel page, deleted the travel category page and set it again.

now the /travel goes to /travel-coaching.

how can i get it to pull up the /travel category, like all of the other category (blog) pages?

Hi,

I was able to fix it by permanently deleting the page in trash.

It’s now showing posts under travel category

http://www.lesamone.com/travel/

[jelisa m]

Oh wow,

thanks Paul R!
