[Support request] Customising category pages

[Finn]

Hi GeneratePress community! Currently doing a redesign of our website and initially focusing on category pages.

Ideally want to get get something like this:

https://ibb.co/RvRXWct

With key points being:

– Articles listed
– First sentence of article included
– No folder, leave comments, post date icons

It currently looks like this:

https://ibb.co/TrH5k8h

And having tried the following CSS found elsewhere on the forum:

.archive.category .post .entry-content {
display: none;
}

achieved this:

https://ibb.co/GMSSJTz

We’ve considered moving the “read more” tag to help with this but it breaks the first paragraph into two in the actual article which isn’t ideal. It would be really time consuming to manually change this on each post.

Can anyone help with this? Open to different ideas on how to make it look better and simpler to get an overview of category without having to scroll a tonne.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Have you tried turning off the post meta in Customize > Layout > Blog?

You can also set the excerpt length in there so it shows much less text.

Let me know 🙂
