Background Elements in Visual Composer Not Showing

Just done this, you need to edit the category/taxonomy template to incorporate the markup of your theme – as simple as including your post template into this file.

Ok so pasting the entire post.php into a category template?

My theme (total) doesn’t even have a category template php file.

You can make one

Create a file named category.php for a standard cat

or a file named like taxonomy-term.php for a custom cat where term is the registered taxonomy name.

Test with the example included in the plugin:

<?php
    global $enhanced_category;
    //get enhanced category post and set it up as global current post
    $enhanced_category->setup_ec_data();
?>
<!-- enhanced category content -->
<?php the_post_thumbnail("medium"); ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

<!-- custom fields -->
<?php
    get_post_custom();
?>

<?php
    // If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
    if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
        comments_template();
    endif;
?>
