Hello,
I’m working on my site, henryebarr.wpengine.com, and I’m trying to figure out how to display one category of posts on one page, the “testimonials” category and then I’d like to have the blog set up to display all the other categories on the actual blog page, and have it sortable.

I have it most of the way there, but I hit a stumbling block.

When one goes to the testimonials page, all is well, and you can click on the different testimonials. But when you do, if the sidebar is turned off, you get sent to an individual post page, and can only see the breabcumbs to go back, which will take you to the blog page, not the testimonials page.

How could I make it so that when you got the the individual testimonial post page, I could have a custom sidebar there that showed the other testimonials, or have some sort of navigation for only the Testimonials category of posts? Also is it possible to disable breadcrumbs on individual posts like these?

For the main blog navigation, how can I add a simple navigation or category sorting list that isn’t in the sidebar? I can’t seem to edit the blog page itself.

Another problem is that in the essential grid “testimonials-home”, I have the layers set to always show, notably the bottom ones with the Title, Excerpt and Date, so that info would always show, even before you hovered over it. I set it up the way their tutorial said to to have it always display, but I still can’t get it to. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Essential Grid plugin and it didn’t change so I’m wondering if it is something I’m missing.

Final question, where can I change the color of the social icons in the topbar? I can’t find that setting anywhere :/

Thanks for the help!

Hey there,

1. To setup a page with a category of post, you can use the Recent Post element. Alternatively, you can use the category page (not an page that you can setup). To access it, go to Posts > Categories, hover to your category and click View.

2. To enable a sidebar on your testimonial posts, you need to check your post in Appearance > Sidebars. See https://community.theme.co/kb/unlimited-sidebars/ for more details.

3. To remove breadcrumbs on single post, please add the code below in your Appearance > Customize > Custom > Global CSS

.single-post .x-breadcrumb-wrap { display: none; }

4. There is no option to add category sorting for the blog page.

5. Can you give us the instruction you followed to display the Essential Grid cover by default?

6. To change the icon color, please add the code

.x-topbar .x-social-global a {
    color: white;
}

Thanks.
