Hi, i’m using a cloud category theme – Urban Observer – across my site. It’s set to NOT be global in the theme panel so hopefully this means any change i make to each category page will be only to that category (also set to NOT be global in each category area).
So in one cateogory – called ‘automotive’ i’ve added a menu in the header – also called ‘automotive’ and added it on the top of the page. I’ve then created another menu called ‘tech and gadgets’ and added it only to the ‘tech and gadgets’ category page. both menus contain different entries. But when i add the automotive menu onto only the automotive category page, it appears globally on all category pages. I then add the ‘tech and gadgets’ menu onto the ‘tech and gadets’ category page and all category pages display that menu.
As I say, in the theme panel, both categories have the ‘inherit from global settings’ set to off – so just the name of the category template is showing.
Am I doing something wrong or is the category theme broken?
cheers
Hello!
Anything you add to the global category template is displayed automatically in all your categories. If you want a menu to display differently on each page, you should have different category templates assigned to your categories.
Please follow the steps:
1. Go to the Cloud Templates and duplicate the category template: https://app.screencast.com/BNzUFeC6LowNM
2. Rename the duplicated template with the name of the category you wish to assign. https://app.screencast.com/xYkkdBFTeIF88
3. You can edit with the tagdiv composer each template to change it and add the elements you need for each category: https://app.screencast.com/GBXyRRA5lZMGH
4. You should assign them. So, the simple way is to go to the theme panel settings: https://app.screencast.com/mpuweTKi1QfH2
Thank you!
Aha. excellent – thanks, i’ll give it a go 🙂
Hi Bettina
Could you add an option at later versions to have different header/menu at the posts of one or more specified categories?
Thanks
Hello!
You can change the whole template for your posts and have different headers and footers as well. It works the same as any other template. You should have one global header and another header for your unique posts. More helpful info here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-website-manager/
Thank you!
That worked a treat btw – so thanks again!
thx!
Hello!
I’m glad that I could help you!
Have a wonderful day!
