Dear Support Team,
I already have a child theme and I would like to create a custom page similar to the category page.
My goal is to have a “News” page with all the category included.

This is my template right now:

<?php
// TEMPLATE NAME: News (diego)
// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/TEMPLATE-LAYOUT-CONTENT-SIDEBAR.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Content left, sidebar right page output for Integrity.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php  get_header(); ?>
  <div class="x-container max width offset">
      <div class="<?php  x_main_content_class(); ?>" role="main">	
 <?php  query_posts('posts_per_page=10'); ?>
<?php  if (have_posts()) : ?><?php 
	while (have_posts()) :
	the_post();
	?>
<a href="<?php  the_permalink()  ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php  the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php  the_title(); ?></a>
<?php  endwhile; ?>
<?php  endif; ?>
      <?php  x_get_view( 'global', '_index' ); ?>
    </div>
    <?php  get_sidebar(); ?>
  </div>
<?php  get_footer(); ?>

The result it’s not fantastic as I have all the titles at the top of the page and then the news after that. I also would like to have two columns. Can you help me understand what code should I copy from yours templates to achieve something similar to the “category” page (the page with “Below you’ll find a list of all items that have been categorized as”)?

Thank you very much for your help. Have a nice weekend, Diego

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Do you want something like this, http://new.your-domain.ch/news-index/ ? If this is the case, all you have to do this:
1] Create a page entitled “News Index”. You do not have to add anything or assign any page template.
2] Go to Settings > Reading > Front Page Display and assign the newly created page as your “Posts Page”.
3] And then you need to go to the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Blog > Style and select “Masonry”. Once masonr is selected, you can choose either two or three column display.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your kind answer. I did not thought about this simple solution…
Absurdly I went to complicate my life with templates and custom codes…

Thank you, Diego
