[Support request] Content below Posts on category page

[Sonja]

Hello,

On a category page, there are teasers of the posts. Now I want content below these teasers, but only on first page and not on page 2,3,4,etc.

How can I achieve this?

Hi there,

If I understand this correctly, you can likely achieve this with a Hook Element:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/

With the filter to display it:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_hook_element_display/

And the conditional tag would be this one:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Paged_Page

If you search keyword is_paged in our forum to see some examples.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hmm, okay, I understand, that i can use the generate_after_main_content hook. But how can I achieve, that this would be show only on first page of a specific category page?

[Leo]

You can use the filter as I mentioned above.

The code should be something like this:

add_filter( 'generate_hook_element_display', function( $display ) {
    if ( 10 === $element_id && is_paged() ) {
       $display = false;
    }

    return $display;
} );

Make sure to replace 10 with the actual element ID.

okay, that is too complicated for me. I don´t understand this. I think such thinks should be easier to do and not only available for coders.

[Leo]

Have you tried the code above?

The only part you need to change the element ID.

Sometimes a little bit of code is required for specific display rules you are asking, which is why we are always available to help.

I have create a after_main_content hook withthe display rules, that it shows only on this category archive.

Then I have create the filter you postet and set the elemt ID of the hook.

But the content (at the moment the word “test” shows also on page 2 of the archive.

And also I want that the content should in a box like the other contetn on this site and have the same spacing like the other boxes.

I have add the URL in the above post.

Hi there,

did you remove the hook and the filter? currently i cannot see the ‘test’ content on any of those pages. If you have, can you re-add them and let us know.

Hi David,

no it is still there on the URL i postet. You can see the word “test” below the pagination.

[David]

Can you flush and disable your cache as i am not seeing the content.

Okay, done.

[David]

Now i can see it on page 1 only. So it seems to be working.
I can still see the cache enabled which is making it tricky to style the element. Can you make sure all your cache plugins are disabled?

I can see it on both pages. With different Browsers.

I use WP-Rocket. Is it possible to deactivate the plugin and activate again without any problems? Or do i have to do soemthing special after activate ist again?

[David]

You can flush/purge/clear ( or whatever they call it ) first then disable it, then when were done you can re-enable it.

You may also need to flush your browser caches after disabling the plugin. Best to view the site in an Incognito/Private browser to test if its also a browser caching issue.

OK I have deactivate it. But I see the test still on both pages.
