Topic: Custom template for each category (block – content template)

I created a template for each category. In it, I use a grid for posts with Content Views Pro. I also have separate widgets for each category that sort posts by ACF. However, the category page duplicates entries using the built-in GeneratePress loop. I tried to disable them with the code below, but it didn’t help.

PHP
```
add_filter( 'generate_do_template_part', function( $do ) { 
    // Checks if the current page being viewed is a category archive page
    if ( is_category() ){
        // Setting $do to 'false' tells GeneratePress NOT TO DISPLAY the default loop
        $do = false;    
    }
    return $do; 
});
```

Hi there,

When you say “I created a template for each category”, is the template a PHP template or block based template?

Can you explain some more about your setup? And please link us to the page in question.

Let me know 🙂

Each category has own block template and custom widgets with filters and custom category tags. https://blog.konspo.eu/kategoria/okna/

Hi there,

I’m not sure how Content Views Pro handles archive templates, but I assume it has an option to disable additional loops in its settings. Have you checked if that option is available?

However, if I use only the theme’s built-in query loop, without Content View Pro, posts are still duplicated. The theme settings include options for customizing the appearance of the post archive, and they appear automatically.

Is it possible for you to provide a temporary admin login to your site so we can take a closer look?

I’ve successfully set up my archive using the **GenerateBlocks Query Loop** (Block Archive Card) after removing the old content view, and it’s working well.

However, I’m now experiencing a common issue when using **FacetWP** for filtering:

1. When I **check** one or more filtering options in the sidebar (FacetWP), the results list correctly filters down.
2. The problem occurs when I **uncheck** the filter options to return to a larger set of posts. The two-column grid layout is **lost**, and all posts are displayed in a single column, stacked one above the other.

This issue seems to be related to how the **AJAX refresh** of the FacetWP template interacts with the **CSS Grid/Flex** structure applied by GenerateBlocks (or GeneratePress) on the post list. The necessary column classes (e.g., grid-50 or GenerateBlocks grid classes) are not being correctly re-applied or re-initialized after the AJAX reload.

You can see the issue live here: https://blog.konspo.eu/kategoria/okna/

Could you please advise on the recommended method or a JavaScript hook to ensure the two-column grid layout remains intact after a FacetWP AJAX operation?

Thank you for your help!

Hi there,

The posts in the page you linked are not created via GB’s query block. Am I missing anything?

If you’ve done the change, can you make sure all cache is cleared? I’m probably seeing the cached version.

This is what I see: https://app.screencast.com/yXLqsxw318dwT
