[Support request] category based grid for blog posts

[manaadiar]

Hi there, I would like to convert my site https://shippingandfreightresource.com like this one https://www.mockupworld.co/free/category/imac/ with the grid by category.. I noticed that this question “https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-create-a-post-grid-like-this-one/” also asked the same question, but was not answered.. Can you pls assist, thanks..

Hi there,

Are you referring to the filter function?

If so maybe a plugin like this would help:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-ajax-filter/

It would require a custom javascript solution without a plugin.

Hi Leo, can this not be done without any plugins..?? Also, how does the Site Library work..?? I tried using one of the sites and it broke my site and now am busy restoring my site..

Hi there,

We recommend import site from library for fresh installed site, otherwise all the options/settings from old site would mixed with the new import, it won’t look good.

For your first question, I think it can not be done without custom solution or a plugin.

So if I now want to use Marketer (from GP site library) on my current site..?? How do I do that..??

Hi there,

first you should make a staging site, so you can make those changes without affecting the live site. On the staging site:

1. Remove any custom functions or Additional CSS.
2. Remove any GP Elements that you may have used and won’t now require.
3. In Appearance > GeneratePress –> Reset the settings.
This should take you back to a fairly clean install.
4. Now import Marketer.

Update logos, menus, widgets etc. as your current ones will be swapped by those from marketer.

Once happy you can push the staging to live.

That is very complicated and maybe liable to give rise to other issues.. Is Marketer available as a theme or can it be replicated using code..??

All of out templates in the site library are NOT child themes, they all use GP as the theme.

Marketer is a relatively simple template, you can try using the same blog settings:
1. Archives: https://www.screencast.com/t/7HR3uYLo
2. Posts: https://www.screencast.com/t/H4jFwQ9HnP

Let us know if there’re any specific sections you want to replicate from Marketer.
