[Resolved] Custom Columns Layouts for Categories

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have two blog post categories and I would like to have custom column layouts for each of the categories.
The podcast category has 3 columns which was easy to set up through the customizer.
Now I would like the blog category to remain centered without any columns.

I have looked through the forum but somehow I could not make it work.
Maybe because I am confused what to enable or disable in the customizer when adding a php code.
Any ideas?

Podcast Category:

How I would like the blog category to look:

Hi there,

you can do it with some CSS:

.category-blog .generate-columns-container .post {
    width: 100%;
}

Hello David,

thank you very much! It worked like a charm.

I also added this php snippet from Tom to make sure that the sidebars for this specific category are enabled:

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_category_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_category_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	// If we are on a category, set the sidebar
 	if ( is_category( 'Blog' ) )
 	 	return 'both-sidebars';
	
 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;
}

Glad to be of help 🙂

As a note – you can use the Layout Element to make changes like sidebars etc.
