Archives pages for large categories

[vmgkartik]

Hi

The website we are building now will have a large number of posts in some categories. When there are more than 3000+ posts the category archives pages in Kleo – whether in grid format or normal blog format – becomes very difficult for a user to go through. Is there a way to just display the title of posts in some categories. Something like site maps just the links?

Thanks
Kartik

Hello,

The archives template is this

..\themes\kleo\archive.php

and the masonry part template is

..\kleo\page-parts\post-content-masonry.php

You will need to make modifications in order to achieve your goal.

The problem is the fact that you want to change the layout for “some” categories.

Take a look here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-category-template/

and also here

Thank you,
Catalin

I’ve been thinking about doing something like this as well. Ignore my plugin suggestion above. If you dont want to code your list, you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/w4-post-list/. Its simple to use and I achieved what you were asking in less than 5 mins. Here’s what I did.

– Create a list for a specific category:
Add new
Select “post” for list type
Select ‘categories’ in Posts: Tax Query and put your category name in the terms box.
When you save it, it will give you a shotcode.

– Create the category specific page
Copy /kleo/archive.php to /kleo-child/category-your category name.php.
Delete everything between ‘before-wrap’ and ‘after-wrap’.
Insert the list using the do shortcode command

COPY CODE

 <?php echo do_shortcode('[postlist id="593"]'); ?>

** Change 593 to your list id

That’s it. The plugin offers ways to style the list.

Thank you both your replies. Your help is much appreciate. Problem has been solved.

Sharmstr – I was already using https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/ to show posts on a single page. So now I followed your method for creating category specific page and using the do shortcode command. I used the ‘list-category_post’ plugin shortcode instead. I was able to achieve exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for pointing me in this direction
