Adjusting Category topic heading (layout, typography and colour)
9 replies · Started by Richard on February 18, 2022
I use GP Premium and have a menu item set up called Blog (set up as a category) with a shortlist of child categories.
The menu works beautifully as follows:
- When I click "Blog" the complete blogroll appears.
- Hovering over "Blog" brings up a list of selectable categories... clicking on any category brings up the appropriately selected part of the blogroll.
All very good ...
However, when the blogroll of excerpts appears it has a header above the excerpts that I would like to manipulate a little. It seems to be taken directly from the WP Categories area and currently takes up more space than I like...
but I can't see how to manipulate this heading.
Do you know of a way to make changes to that heading, please?
Hi Richard,
Can you link us to your site and point us to where we should be looking at?
Of course ... sorry ...

If you click on Blog you will see between the header and the excerpt an area with a heading for the category (or Blog) which I would like to learn to adjust. Thank you ... Richard
Do you mean the blue part or the red part?

I mean the whole of the (white) area within which you've marked the red block.
Hi there,
you can create a Block Element - Page Hero to design your header :

I do appreciate your support ...
however, the solution doesn't seem to address the question ...
I am trying to learn how to change what is already in place to the way I would like it to look.
Hi Richard,
If you are familiar with CSS, you can use the marked CSS class to style the elements.

If you are not familiar with CSS, give block element - page hero a try, it's easy to create your layout using Gutenberg/ blocks.
Thank you- I have some learning to do with CSS ... but I'll get there now. Thank you!
No problem :)
