[Resolved] Change the category pages using elements / hook

[Anders Nielsen]

Hi

I’m trying to make a blog category look like a “normal” page.

– So I want to remove all blogpost from it.

I have setup an element block – with my new design.

I’m trying to hook in the new design to that specific category page, but I can’t find a hook – that inserts my content, and removes all the blogposts from the category view.

Can you help me locate the right hook for this?

I use generateblocks too.

Ok, found the “Template part” where I can overwrite the page.

But the category name (H1) is still there on the page – som hov do I remove it?

Hi there,

you can unhook the archive title:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    if ( some_condition_is_met() ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title' );
    }
} );

Hi David

Thanks – but I got this error inserting the snippet in functions.php

`Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function some_condition_is_met() in wp-content/themes/generatepress/functions.php:125

Sorry i was meant to say – you need to replace: some_condition_is_met() with the condition you want to make the change to.

eg.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    if ( is_category() ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title' );
    }
} );

This will apply to only the Category archives ( not tags or other taxonomies ).

If you want to apply it to a specific category you can include its slug: is_category('the-category-slug')

Of this will remove it from all archives.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    remove_action( 'generate_archive_title', 'generate_archive_title' );
} );

Awesome … Now I understand, thanks 🙂
