Category Setting

Sorry again, but I have tried to set this category to display as the Home Page (with right sidebar)-where all the posts are listed one after another and not display the 3 post images at the top. I have looked at the Blog and Post template (I assume it refers to the Home Blog & Posts) but can not determine its module type.
1. Is it possible to set the above category (actually all categories within the Regions + Places Page) as the Home Page-all the posts are listed one after another?

Thank you.
P.S.

Hello,

If you use the blog and post template, then you cannot control which categories will show on the homage. It will simply show a list of all your latest posts no matter the category.
If you want to show particular categories, you will have to use a static page and create your layout in visual composer.
We recommend using the tagdiv composer (since newspaper 8) and updating to the latest version. You use a very old version of the theme.

Thank you!

Thanks Bogdan but really do not want to venture out to do what you suggest and I end messing up…
I changed the CATEGORY TOP POSTS STYLE from Default to Grid 9 see here. I would like is to display all categories in this style. Is it possible to display all categories in these “boxes”. Currently the settings display 4 boxes at the top and then the remaining 2 in a different style (list style). I would like all to display in Boxes. Is this possible?

Thanks

Sorry but the top grid does not work like that. It will show the latest posts from your category. In this case it shows the latest posts from the places-san-juan-metro category.
You can change the style of particular categories or for all the categories at once to that style by using the category settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/

Thank you!

Yes, I know the top grid will show the latest posts from my category; and that is fine. What I want is for “all posts” to show as the current 4 top show. What style will do this?

Hello,

You can change the global category style from the global settings at the top of the category settings: https://www.screencast.com/t/fGh7rUdxyNM
This will only take effect if your categories have this setting left on default: https://www.screencast.com/t/2oi0EkskYni6

Thank you!

Bogdan,
1. Why does this category page display the “articles” different from this category?
2. The second row (bottom row) of this category/page displays only one “article” then it goes into pagination?
3. What settings so that all articles display in one single page-no pagination?

Hello,

1. Because they are different categories.
But http://quepasapuertorico.xyz/category/places/
includes http://quepasapuertorico.xyz/category/places/places-san-juan-metro/
http://quepasapuertorico.xyz/category/places/places-san-juan-metro/
This is how wordpress categories and subcategories work. Please read this guide:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/category/

2. This is becasue you limit the category to only show 8 posts. You need to limit it to 7 or 9 from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/nXtV5MCuVJ5

3. Simply limit the above number to a big number that will cover all of your posts. Add a limit of 900 and you will be sure there will be no pagination until you reach 900 posts in a particular category.

Thank you!
