[Support request] Columns only on one category archive page

[Manuel]

Yes I speaking of the block element. Here you are a screen print https://manuelmeszarovits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/screen-print-block-element-pagination-pic-day.jpg
And here what I made on the new element page for the pagination pic of day https://manuelmeszarovits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/screen-print-element-pagination-pic-day.jpg

What’s the issue occurring? That Element in your screenshot seems to be appearing and working as expected from my end.

[Manuel]

Yes the pagination is working perfectly.
Just is not the pagination of the category Pic of the day, is the pagination of the all archive.
You can see on my screen print I put the location Post category>Pic of the day and exclude Post category>Uncategorized but is not working!
I’m sorry do don’t be clear. I hope the explanation will help you.
Thanks,
Manuel

I see. Thank you for clarifying.

Can you check if the Buttons and the Headlines are set to have a Dynamic Link that is “in same term – Category”? Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuB4prE

[Manuel]

It was not but I change but nothing changed. Here you are a screen print https://manuelmeszarovits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/screen-print-element-same-term.jpg

I see. Do some of your Pic Day posts have other categories?

For instance, what categories does this Post have?: https://manuelmeszarovits.com/african-woman-walking-bush/

[Manuel]

I have only two categories: Uncategorized and Pic of the day.
Uncategorized is the blog called journal https://manuelmeszarovits.com/journal/
Pic of the day is Pic day page https://manuelmeszarovits.com/category/photo-of-the-day/

For the journal I want only uncategorized pagination.
For the pic of day I want only the pic of day pagination.

I created two element block one for the journal one, and the new one, with the help of Ying, for the pic of day, and you have the screen print of the pic of day.

Tell me if is more clear 😉
Thanks,

[Manuel]

So right now the two pagination are with all two categories without any exclusion, even I excluded on the element page!

[Fernando]

I see.

Are you planning to have Posts that have the Category “Pic of the day” also have other categories? For instance, does this post – https://manuelmeszarovits.com/african-woman-walking-bush/ – have multiple categories?

If so, why not set Pic of the day as a tag instead as opposed to a category?

In this way, you can set the Dynamic Link to “in same term – post_tag”. This should allow the navigation to only loop over posts that have the tag “Pic of the day” given that it’s the only tag that they have.

Let me know what you think of this setup.

[Manuel]

Nono on the page Pic of the day, and for the pagination I want only post from the category Pic of the day. Nothing else.
For the journal page the same. Only the Uncategorized posts.
Journal > Uncategorized category
Pic of day > Pic of day category
And right now, on the two cases I have no at all any exclusion. No exlcution of Pic of the day for the journal and no exclusion of Uncategorized categorie for the pic of day.

[Manuel]

I don’t understand something. Have a look of my setup on the element page.
I put location Post category and Pic of day
I exclude Post category and Uncategorized
Is there the mistake?

I see. Can you provide admin login credentials so we can take a closer look at the issue occurring?

[Manuel]

For sure: here you are.

[Fernando]

I see. The two Headline Blocks are still not set to have their source as “in same term – Category”. See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/eDun8Ovo

Can you set these up first and see how it goes?

[Manuel]

You didn’t speak me before about the headline 😉

Fantastic. So now everything is working good!

Sorry to keep so much your time for stupidity!
Thank you so much, Fernando, for your quick assistance and your efficient help!
Warm regards and merry Christmas!
Manuel
