Display posts as list on category page

Hi there,

you would need to use the option_generate_blog_settings filter to disable the elements you don't require:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/option_generate_blog_settings/

Heres an example PHP Snippet that disables some elements on the category archives:

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', 'db_custom_category_archive' );
function db_custom_category_archive( $options ) {
    if ( is_category() ) {
        $options['read_more_button'] = false;
        $options['date'] = false;
        $options['categories'] = false;
        $options['tags'] = false;
        $options['post_image'] = false;
        $options['column_layout'] = false;
        $options['featured_column'] = false;
        $options['masonry'] = false;
    }
    return $options;
}

Thanks for your response David, I do have following questions

1. With this hook , I am still seeing the excerpt in the category page. I am assuming this is because of the standard WordPress if we manually adding excerpt to our posts.

2. I still don't see this as an ordered list, is there a way I can work on the CSS using premium options? Current category page layout have too much space and all I need is a ordered list.

Note: I have removed the excerpt using the standard WP hook

So first off to remove the Excerpt, apply the PHP Snippet provided here:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/excerpt_length/

Then add this CSS to display the Counter:

.archive.category .site-main {
    counter-reset: section;
}
.archive.category .site-main article h2:before {
    counter-increment: section;
    content: counter(section) '. ';
}

.archive.category .entry-summary,
.archive.category .entry-meta {
    display: none;
}

/*** Optional ***/
/* remove padding from article */
.archive.category .site-main article .inside-article {
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
}
/* Change the font size */
.archive.category .site-main article h2 {
    font-size: 24px;
}

I have included some optional CSS to style the article and post title if you need to.

Hey David,

Thanks for your quick and wonderful response, I am able to fix most of the issue and layout is very close to what I was thinking :)
