Best way to achieve this. Category page layouts

Hi guys,
Hope you are all well and safe.
So I’ve been experimenting lots with this. I’ve tried the “make category page a static page” with WPSP (I’ve got the pro version too). This seemed to cause more issues down the line.
I’ve also experimented with the header changing on page 2 onwards. This worked ok. But not 100% what I wanted.
So I’ll ask you guys what you think is best way
I’ve sent you the link I’m referring too.
Notice how the “page 1” of the category has hand picked sections such as top guides and beginner guides.
Then towards the bottom is the last posts.
Page 2, the hand picked sections are gone and now just a list of the latest posts
How can I achieve this?
Would a custom category template work best?
Thanks guys for your help and insights 🙏
Hi there,
Can you explain more about what the end goal is? Any particular reason why you need to change the default category page to a static page w/ WPSP? Perhaps if we get the whole picture, we can advise what's the best way to do things.
If you simply want to change the loop of the default archive page to a WPSP list, perhaps all we need is to filter the default loop with generate_has_default_loop? And then hook the rest of the things in w/ either Hook element or Block element?
Let us know if this is the case.
