[Support request] Removing articles from parent category archive page

[William]

Hi there,

Is there a way of removing articles from appearing on all parent category archives (not child category archives)? For example for this page, https://bookanalysis.com/george-orwell/

Many thanks,

Will

Hi there,

Not without some custom coding to modify the posts loop unfortunately.

GP just uses the default wp_query() from WordPress if you need more info:

Okay that makes sense.

Is it possible to have only the child categories appear for parent category archive pages? Or, altogether, remove all the articles for each archive? I can then add them manually.

Hi there,

You would likely need to build custom templates for those parent categories: https://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

You could also use a method like this, possibly: https://docs.wpshowposts.com/article/use-static-pages-as-category-archives/
