Displaying non post content in a Category page.

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, so my client has a collection of about 20 quotes he needs to display on a page, he also needs them to be a subcategory of one of the posts main categories, for navigation reasons. The thing is those quotes don’t need, each one to open in a new post page and they just can be displayed as blockquotes, in a grid or something. I was thinking of adding a post to this subcategory as dummy content that I can hide with display:none and then add the blockquotes he needs to be displayed using on of your elements, like “Column Text”. Is there anything better I can do to accomplish such task?
Thank you.

Hi,
If you set those elements with tagDiv Composer and you hide them from the css tab, then will be a little difficulty to set them back, I think that a better way will be to set the page in draft or private until this is reedy.
Thank you!

I need this page to be a Category page but not displaying ANY posts at all, I just need it to display the content I mentioned in my previous message. This is how it should be when it’s ready, so setting it as a draft wouldn’t help me.

Hi,
So you nee categories only for text without posts.
I think that for this you’ll need to make a different category for each category you have using tagDiv Composer and set the text in it.
Thank you!

Can you elaborate, please?
The said subcategory is the Maritime Arbitration Practice/Overviews that is normally displayed in its parent category’s page https://charterpartydisputes.com/category/maritime-arbitration-practice/ . Please note that Overviews is blank of any post, it displays static content and will never display any post.
As you can see here https://charterpartydisputes.com/#categories-4 the Categories hierarchy tree doesn’t display the Maritime Arbitration Practice/Overviews subcategory.

So the question is, what should I do so that the subcategory is displayed normally into the hierarchy tree but without having any post in it?

Hi,
In my option this will not work, because the categories are special made for posts so, making a category without posts will never display its static layout because those are should to display the post inside them. Maybe will be a better idea to make a list where to set links to the category (or you can make pages instead of categories and set links to them) or you can make a menu and set it using the menu list -> https://i.imgur.com/v22CwbK.jpg
