Category Page

[bondie11]

Hi,

I’m using Pro and trying to see if there is a way that i can style my category pages. Is there anyway i can do this at all. I’m not the best with CSS so apologies.

Thank you!

Hey Adam,

It depends on the customization you want to do to the category pages. If you just want to change the font sizes and colors of the items on the category pages, that is doable with CSS.

Kindly send us the link to your category pages and let us know what you changes you want to do so that we can provide some suggestions.

Thank you.

Thanks Jade,

I want to lay it out similar to my news page (different posts) and be able to make the menu bar the same as my other pages.

Hi Adam,

It look like you are using The Grid for the news page. It is possible to use The Grid to display the posts for page content but you will have to override the category template of the site through a child theme.

Please install and activate the child theme. If you do not have the child theme installed yet, you can download it from here. Once you have it installed and activated, please login through FTP then go to wp-content/themes/pro-child then add the file category.php then add this content to the file:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// CATEGORY.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Handles output of and post categories.
//
// =============================================================================

get_header();

?>

  <div class="x-container max width offset">
    <div class="<?php x_main_content_class(); ?>" role="main">

      <?php The_Grid('My Grid Name', true); // where true is for template mode ?>

    </div>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then change My Grid Name to the name of the grid you have created. Here are the reference links for the suggestions above:

https://theme-one.com/docs/the-grid/#grid_as_template

As for the header area, there is currently no out of the box option in Pro header builder for you to be able to assign a specific header to category pages, it will currently follow the Global Header assigned on the site.

However, I have checked our Feature Request list and added this feature so that it will be considered in future development.

Hope this helps.
