[Resolved] Change column count for specific category

[Dan]

Hi
I am trying to change to a 1 column blog layout for 2 specific categories.
The problem is that it causes all categories to have 1 column.
I have set 3 columns in the customizer.
This is showing up correctly with 1 column (category 183):
https://www.golancoalition.org/recent-developments_en/

This category is showing incorrectly (1 column instead of 3):
https://www.golancoalition.org/publications/

This is the code I used in the functions file:

add_filter( 'generate_blog_get_column_count','generate_custom_column_count' );
function generate_custom_column_count(){
    if ( is_category( '183' ) ){
        return 100;
    }
    if ( is_category( '185' ) ){
        return 100;
}
    // Or else, return the default
    return $count;
}

Removing this function brings back 3 columns for all categories.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi there,

There are mistakes in the code. Try this instead:

add_filter( 'generate_blog_get_column_count','lh_category_column_count' );
function lh_category_column_count( $count ) {
    if ( is_category( array( 183, 185 ) )  ) {
        return 100;
    }

    return $count;
}

Note that you didn’t specify which variable it should return in the this line:
function generate_custom_column_count()

Thanks Leo,
