[Support request] On my new website project! Need help!

[Whelen Troy]

Hello.

I am Troy and I am on my first website project using GeneratePress. I wanted to achieve these goals and your help will be greatly appreciated.

Homepage
1. I want to showcase posts from a specific category showing only the title, feature image and short excerpt from the article. It is going to be a single column page.
TITLE
IMAGE – full width
excerpt with read more link.

2. I want the homepage to load more articles as the user scrolls down the page.

3. Sidebar – I want a fixed sidebar. I don’t know how to explain it clearly but you can check neilpatel’s blog here – http://neilpatel.com/blog/content-marketing-roi/.
What it looks like is that even if the article is long, you can still see the sidebar widgets.

4. Archives – I want to create an archive page just like zenhabits.net archives page. here is the link – https://zenhabits.net/archives/

Hope you can help me out guys. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

1. You would need to use a function make your front page only show posts from one category: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/multiple-static-frontpage-selected-posts-on-frontpage/#post-157558

The other things you’re looking for are in the Blog add-on (Customize > Blog).

2. You would need a plugin for this. If you do a search for “wordpress infinite scroll” you might find some options.

3. Another plugin is needed – this one might help: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/sticky-menu-or-anything-on-scroll/

You would use .sidebar as the class.

4. That would require you to build a custom template I’m afraid as it’s very different from the default WP template.
