I need to make my category pages into mini-homepages, or ‘hubs’.
To do that, I need to customize each category page like I do the homepage. Use visual composer, place blocks in certain places and load them with articles in different subcategories from that main category, that type of thing. Each category page would be set up a bit differently, depending on the available sub-categories.
Is there a way I can do that?
Hi
By default the theme does not have options which allows you to customize the category page using Visual Composer. This may be possible only by editing the code. Here is an example:
– let’s say that I want to display this mini-page created with VC on Fashion category page: http://screencast.com/t/wdSAoI0Q12
– I can use do_shortcode function on category.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/dNKMq5UyT – http://screencast.com/t/xSpErHrpUh – http://screencast.com/t/saBfozlYxKth – http://pastebin.com/YRQExPZi
– the result will be like here: http://screencast.com/t/X4x7L6QHyh
This is just a basic example but you can use it to insert content from Visual Composer on category pages.
Thanks!
