Hello,
I want to improve the structure of my site, so on each category: https://www.forgettingfairytales.com/category/dating/ I want to feature my top posts below the feed of recent posts within that category below. Ideally it would look exactly the same as that link now, except with the featured posts above.
Is there a way to do this with GeneratePress elements at all?
Or would I have to do it by creating a PAGE which has WP Show Posts at the top featuring the blog posts like this: https://ibb.co/ZpbzMp2n And THEN adding the feed of posts in that category below? If so, how do I go about adding that feed please, as – at the moment – I just feature the category itself and that automatically show’s up all the posts (if that makes sense.)
Thank you so much for your help.
Best wishes,

Hi there,
Do you mean you want the first post of the category to be the featured post instead of the latest post?
If so, how will you define the featured post? Will you assign a tag to it?
Let me know 🙂

Sorry for the slow reply. I hadn’t seen that you had replied!
I want to have a feed of blog posts, still like this ideally: https://www.forgettingfairytales.com/category/dating/
These should show up in the order of the latest posts first still.
The only difference is, above that, where the text is currently, I’d like to be able to feature some “top posts” / recommended reads. These will have to have a Top Dating Posts tag added I guess? It will end up looking like how I feature them on the homepage (this was added with Showposts): https://www.forgettingfairytales.com but as right now this page is a CATEGORY page (https://www.forgettingfairytales.com/category/dating/) as opposed to a page I can edit, it won’t allow me to add it in in the same way, so I’m wondering if I have to somehow re-build the page as a page, but I’m unsure how to add the blog category feeds in, if I do it that way?
Sorry, please do let me know if that is unclear or if you need me to clarify anything else at all.
Thanks so much!
All the best,

The category title and description section is added via a block element. you can edit the block element and add a WPSP shortcode or a GB query block to display the posts from a certain tag below the description:

Sorry, can you please explain that a little simpler? I don’t really understand the technical terms and am unsure what you’re saying I need to do here.
Thanks for your help and patience,

Hi there,
Before that, how do you determine which post is a top or recommended post? If you’ve tagged them with a specific tag, for example, we can guide you on setting up the query parameters accordingly to display them in the desired location.
