Have a look at http://www.caucusevents.com

The category, 9/16 We displays a list of posts of the 9/16 category properly > http://caucusevents.com/wednesday/

The caregory 9/17 Th does NOT display the category posts > http://caucusevents.com/thursday/
There are other categories that do not display posts in their categories either:
http://caucusevents.com/friday/
http://caucusevents.com/sunday/

Got any ideas as to why? Im sure that its in the settings somewhere but I have been trying all night to get this right but for the life of me, I can’t get the /Wednesday, /Friday, or /Sunday categories to display properly…

Any ideas?

I didn’t think WordPress created automatic categories by “day” — only by “date” …

e.g.,

http://caucusevents.com/2015/08/06/

oh — I see you’re creating custom day directories in addition to the default WP ones:
http://caucusevents.com/thursday/

the posts are there, they are just “featured” at top of the template; they don’t get duplicated in BOTH the feature boxes at top AND in the list area below — it’s either or. So, you might try changing the template setting for that “category” to remove the top boxes/gric so they just line up as normal archive view.

So, put another way if you only have 5 posts in that category, they will populate the grid first, then item 6 would be under the grid, as you have with this
http://caucusevents.com/saturday/

If that’s not what you’re asking, sorry no help.

Ahhhhh…I get it. If you have 99 posts, the big grid displays posts 1-5 of the category and the archive lists posts 6 – 99.

Got it. Understood 100%

OK so THIS is my goal:

– I want PAGE with big grid.
– I want block 11 below that lists posts

BUT BUT BUT

– I need a horizontal list of pages between them that looks JUST like the horizontal category archive menu on a category page.

In other words, I have category global settings as Style 1, Article display view of M11. But in between them, there is a horizontal menu of categories.

I want a section that would list my pages w/ the css / layout that matches your horizontal menu of categories because its PERFECT for smartphones / mobile phones / androids / iphones. I dont want my mobile users to have to open the “td-demo-header-menu” on their mobile because it appears on the left and its not always clear how to switch pages. I want them to simply click the page links. Thats it. Just as if it were that horizontal category menu…but its a list of pages.

Get it?

Is there a way for you to take the php that creates that horizontal category menu, change it so that it lists pages instead…and then tell me how to insert it into the space between my chosen layout: Big Grid on top, horizontal page menu in the middle, block 11 on the bottom?

See this > http://caucusevents.com/sundayevents/

This is me making a text block w links to pages and placing it below the main menu. The links are bright red. I want those links ( Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday ) to look JUST like the category sub menu located below the main menu ( 9/16 WE 9/17 TH 9/18 FR 9/19 SA 9/20 SU ALL NEWS) thats on the category archive on > http://caucusevents.com/wednesday/

Perhaps there is a way to apply the horizontal category menu css to the text block?

Hi,

You can try a css like this one: http://screencast.com/t/1o5sHDSpK but I suggest you add some specific classes for the text column you use to add pages then use it to target just that specific page on mobile screens and style them like I did in my example using the @media block.

You have below the css code I’ve used you can build, your style on it.

@media screen and (max-width: 767px){
.wpb_text_column p > strong > a {
background-color: #222222 !important;
color: #ffffff !important;
font-size: 11px;
padding: 0 14px;
line-height: 20px;
background: none;
white-space: nowrap;
display: inline-table;
border-radius: 3px;
}
}

If you don’t have css coding knowledge we advise you to ask the help of a experienced freelancer or a developer because this needs custom work which we can’t provide at the moment, sorry!
You can find one on site’s like: http://studio.envato.com/

Thanks for the message!
