How to setup a proper category.php template?

Support
#1

Hello,

Unfortunately, the current template used to display category pages is really minimal, there is no link at all, just plain text of blog post title, which is kind of bad.

I’m wondering how we could add a category template easily in a child theme but with a nice template?

As the framework/theme is quite complex, it seems to require some hard skills knowledge to understand how it works.

Ideally, we would like a hero banner with title and description of the category, then one row for each sub category containing 3 columns to display 3 most recent posts in a nice card.

What would you recommend?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for reaching out.
I have checked your Themeco Account and found that you are using the Pro only, so I would suggest you use the Layout Builder and create an Archive layout for the Category and assign it to the specific category you want. I would suggest you go through the following article and videos which may help you with this.



If you still want to create a category template by adding a file in your child theme, I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called One, where we answer the questions beyond normal theme support.

Note: Please remember that customizing PHP files are beyond the scope of Theme Support.

Thanks
