[Support request] How to make Downloads Archives layout same as Post Archives

[Tommy]

Is it possible to make the downloads archive page the same layout as the post archives? I know how to change column settings on post archives, but I don’t see an option for downloads.

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the page in question?

You can use the private information field:

Let me know 🙂

Is that a CPT?

[Tommy]

What is a CPT? Custom Post? It’s a download. I use Easy Digital Downloads (like WooCommerce for digital downloads) with this site.

[Leo]

Yup – CPT is custom post type.

Give this a shot: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-columns-in-the-blog/#adding-columns-to-your-custom-post-type

[Tommy]

That hasn’t done anything. As i say, they’re not posts, they’re downloads and use separate categories…

[Leo]

Did you replace CPT_SLUG in the example code?

If that doesn’t work, then you will need to confirm with Easy Digital Downloads on whether Downloads is a CPT or not.

I tried this in Additional CSS is that what you mean?

add_filter( ‘generate_blog_get_column_count’,’tu_search_column_count’ );
function tu_search_column_count( $count ) {
if ( is_search() ) {
return 33;
}

return $count;
}
