[Support request] catergory pages

[johnzoro]

not sure if this is a general wordpress query or a generatepress/theme query

basically on my website i have categories and when someone clicks on the category i get a blog roll of posts in that category

but in some of my catergories, i have sub catergories

so what i would like to do is have a page or something that when someone clicks on the catergory, it gives a link to the subcatergory

can i do this with just the normal catergory in the menu or do i have to create a page

also if i create a page it’s gonna have a new url which might mess everything up

what’s the best way to go about this?

Hi John,

You can try creating a Block Element – Loop Template to basically override the main query loop of a specific Category, and you can manually add “Child Category” boxes/links.

Reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-loop-template/

Currently, there’s no feature that allows you to query categories in such a way. You would need custom code for this if you want it dynamically, or you can create it manually as mentioned per category.

Perhaps you can try a plugin as well. It may be good to ask in our Facebook Community as well for suggestions for a plugin or something else: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113359788719597
