  • Hi,
    I want my category page for “where to stay in” to look like this page. With sections and hyperlinks.
    Currently, I don’t see where to go to edit all this for category. I only have access to category description.

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    Do you mean you want to show custom content instead of posts in the category archives?

  • Hi,
    For this page only exceptionally, yes, I would like to show custom content like the page below and not the generic category page layout.

  • Hi there,

    WordPress doesn’t give a visual editor for category pages by default. By design, they only show the archive loop and description.

    If you’d like a custom layout for just one category, go to Appearance → Elements → Add New → Block Element.

    • Location: set it to display on that category archive only.
    • Inside the block, you can build your custom sections and hyperlinks using GenerateBlocks Pro.

    This way, you can replace or add to the default loop.

    Guide: Block Elements

    If you’d rather keep the posts but add custom sections above, set the Element’s hook to before_main_content so your layout shows before the archive posts.

  • Thanks for your response.
    I have added element: “Category Hotels” to replace the “Where to Stay in…” Category Page. When I click on “Where to Stay in…” menu item it doesn’t get replaced by the Category Hotels element I set.

  • Hi there,

    I don’t see any Element showing on that page yet. Could you check:

    1. In your Category Hotels Element, is Element Type set to Loop Template (not Hook)?
    2. Under Display Rules, did you target exactly that category archive (e.g. “Where to Stay in”)?

    Guide: Block Element – Loop Template

    Let me know what you find.

  • Hello,
    It’s set to loop and correct location. Not seeing it update.

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    I checked your site and can see the 2 posts in the where-to-stay-in-lyon category showing up (Screenshot).

    When I add ?1 to the query string, they also display. I tested with a Query Loop block as well, and it’s working there too.

    Could you please try clearing your site cache and temporarily disabling the caching plugin to see if that helps?

  • Thanks. I want this stuff to appear above inside the top main grey box with “where to stay” not after below. I made it hook before-main-content, but it’s no showing above.

  • Hi there,

    Can you confirm if you’re editing the Category Hotels Element for this? If you’ve made some recent changes there, please let us know so we can take a closer look and help adjust the placement.

  • Yes I am editing the Category Hotels Element. I have not finalized it yet. I just created 3 containers with text to see if the layout will work where I want it (in the grey box).

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    Ok, thanks for confirming. Please let us know once you’ve finalised the Element so we can take a closer look and help with the placement in the grey box.
