Static text on category pages made my posts disappear

Try https://pastebin.com/kWgNWdwq

Right now I only have a loop-category.php file. Do I need to create a category php file for every category I have? I’m not sure how to indicate in the provided code which static text I want on which category page.

You could use a series of conditionals – eg:

<?php if( is_category('Foo') ) :?>
[ text for Foo category ]
<?php elseif( is_category('Bar') ) :?>
[ text for Bar category ]
<?php endif;?>

The code that I currently have in my loop-category.php file is conditional. Should I put my conditionals code above the code you sent me in the link? I’d like to have the static text displayed at the top of the category page and have the posts displayed below it.

Try adding the code where I indicated.

I added my conditionals code where lines (#9-11 <?php // start static text here?. <?php //end static text here ?>) were in your pastebin code. When I go to my website I get an error.

The following is the code I have in my loop-category.php

Did I paste my conditional code in the wrong spot?

Thanks again!

I tried the code, but the website is saying there’s an error on line 78. Any ideas?
