"Read" Theme - not able to rebuild Element Header with Categories
5 replies · Started by Magnus on January 19, 2022
Hello,
I use the "Read" Theme for my new Blog https://ride-with-love.bike. But I obviously missed to import the demo data, because the desired element header with the category navigation is not included.
Now I have tried to rebuild it on my own. But I struggled. I only was able to implement the <h1> Title, but not the category navigation. I've also read the theme documentation but this topic is not described very well.
Please reply how to solve this issue.
Thanks, Magnus
Hi Magnus,
The Categories are built manually in the home page using Buttons block of GenerateBlocks, it's not using element.

Hi Ying, thanks for your fast reply. I will try this asap :-) Best, Magnus
No problem!
Let me know if you need further assistance :)
I've tried, but I use a dynamic generated blog overview page and obviously this solution won't work on dynamic pages?! Or am I wrong?
Is it possible to add Buttons block of GenerateBlocks on dynamic blog-homepages as well? If yes, how?
Hi there,
you will need to use a Block Element:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-overview/
The content of that element will be your Buttons, and you select a Hook for where you want it positioned - see here for options:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-visual-guide/#posts-page
For example the inside_container or before_main_container hook will position it on the page before the loop.
Display Rules - can be set to Blog and All Archives.
