Hi,

I would like to use the output of a category page on the homepage, including the page navigation.
I’m trying to get the effect of the “Homepage with article list” template, but in the “Homepage blank” template because I want to have something before and after the article list.

btw, I’m using Newspaper v4.

Any idea on how to get this done?
Thanks!

Hi,
You need to use the Homepage with article list. To add content after the pagination you need to add it manually in page template php using do_shortcode https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/ and add your content created from VC.

Thanks for the message!

Thanks Marius, I’ll look into that solution.

Marius, is it not possible at all to incorporate a category loop into the “Homepage blank” template?
I’ve tried using Homepage with article list but I’m not really getting what I would like…

Thanks.

Hi,

Using Homepage blank you can use a block to display articles from a specific category, but numeric pagination won’t work on blocks, only Next/Prev, Load more, Infinite load pagination work on them.
The only way to have a similar look like category template on a static page is to use Homepage with articles list template(you don’t have to use pagebuilder), like already Marius suggested, set the category and the module to display articles.

Thanks!
