Hi!
You have an amazing costumization in your theme to work with post & archives in Customizing ▸ Layout ▸
Blog (Archives + Posts).
Whats the easiest way to apply different settings for this part, depending on the blog category I want to display? It looks like I need to use some custom php like this https://docs.generatepress.com/article/option_generate_blog_settings/ ?
Hi there,
yes the option_generate_blog_settings filter is the way to go.
Let us know if you need help with that.
Yeah, indeed I do need help, please
What changes are you wanting to make? And where should those changes apply eg. ALL Category archives or a specific Category ? Let me know.
For example, for the "sketches" category I need to apply changes for the archive page and single post page.
So you would need to create 2 x functions. One for archives:
add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'dmitry_custom_sketches_archive_settings' );
function dmitry_custom_sketches_archive_settings( $options ) {
if ( is_category( 'sketches' ) ) {
// Add your options ehre
}
return $options;
}and one for single posts:
add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'dmitry_custom_sketches_single_post_settings' );
function dmitry_custom_sketches_single_post_settings( $options ) {
if ( in_category( 'sketches' ) ) {
// Add your options ehre
}
return $options;
}Note each of the functions has a different name. And they have a slightly different conditional tag ie.
Archives = is_category( 'sketches' )
Singles = in_category( 'sketches' )
David, thanks a lot! And thanks for the link about conditional tags, It really looks useful to handle that info for me!
You're welcome
