Hello.
I know how to change the template for the category pages, but it would be great to be able to add a block on top, for example, with the most popular posts of that category.
Any way to do that?
Hi,
You can change the category template and top post settings from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/KwjSE2Lc
If you want to add a block to the category templates, you can do so with a do_shortcode function inside the category templates or the category top posts: http://screencast.com/t/vaLSho5EXrXm.
Create the block you want in a dummy page and click on classic mode and switch to text mode so you can copy the shortcode for your block and then use the do_shortcode function to add it inside the file.
This however will require further css positioning as it will not display properly .
As an alternative, you could create static pages for your categories and use a 301 redirect from the category page to your static page.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
