[Resolved] Category pages custom design

[Christos]

Hi. I want to achieve the following:
I want to form my category pages to be like this setup.
Primary Category: https://mindfultravelexperiences.com/europe/ (meaning an intro text of the category and images from each subcategory (with link))

Secondary category
With no other child: https://mindfultravelexperiences.com/europe/austria/
With more child: https://mindfultravelexperiences.com/europe/greece/

So, is this doable? To make category templates where I set the content to get in and assign them to categories? I have the pro version of GP

Hi there,

There isn’t anything built-in for this.

I’d say that the easiest way would be to create that category page as a static page with the Gutenberg editor and GenerateBlocks.

Then you can consider using a plugin like WP Show Posts if you need to display posts on a static page as well.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi. That is an easy way but breadcrumbs are useless with that manner. They must be removed from all posts as when shown in a single post they will lead to the category archive page and not on the landing page(s).
You need to add functionality to allow such. Otherwise, one must make the website heavier by using elementor or any other builder.

Anyway, I solved it by adding a function which calls and shows the siblings of categories inside each category. It doesn’t show the category image but does the work.

Glad to hear that you found a solution.
