Hi there,

You can create a Block Element Content Template for each category/archive:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-content-template/

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Sorry I misunderstood the request before.

That said, if you are trying to replicate the design in Site 2 then creating the Content Template mentioned above is the best option available.

It would require quite a bit of CSS and PHP to achieve that layout which isn’t good for performance anyways.

GB is also optimized for performance so you should not see any performance drop when using it 🙂

When you say content template, does it require generateblocks plugin.

The Content Template feature itself does not require GenerateBlocks plugin. That said, GB is required if you want to replicate the layout from the example site.

If yes, does generateblocks affect on the website load speed by adding additional js and css ?

As mentioned, GB is optimized for performance so you should see very little to no performance drop when using it.

All of our site library templates are using GB so feel free to run some speed tests:

We cannot provide a full CSS and PHP solution to replicate that example layout as we built a specific tool and feature for something like this already.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi there,

1. Install the GenerateBlocks plugin.
2. Go to Appearance > Elements -> Add New –> Block element.
3. Set the Element Type to Content Template

4. Set the Display Rules to Front Page
5. Now build out your post card design in the editor.
5.1 in the settings sidebar there are Templates, choose the one with borders to get you started as its vary similar design to your example

Hi JK,

You can use a Block Element – Post Meta Navigation. Reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-meta-template/

Or, are you opting out of using GenerateBlocks? If you are, go to Appearance > Customize > Layout > Blog > Content > Single, and disable “Display post categories”.

Then, add this snippet:

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    $items[] = 'categories';

    return $items;
} );

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/#code-snippets

Which specifically did you try? Did you try the PHP code snippet to make the categories appear after the Author name?

Try adding this CSS:

article span.author.vcard a {
    color: #878787;
}

You’re welcome, JK!
