Clean Up Pages Help

  • I am trying to find a way to clean up the business app pages on https://www.mobileadconnection.com/businessmobile

    When you click on ‘business apps’ you get the list and descriptions. Then you have to click on the app name and it opens to the individual app page.

    Is there anyway to just list the apps on a single page (maintaining the current links) and then click on the name and go to the app image and description?

    I want to make it easier to find the apps without having a bunch of pages to click on.

    Hope this was not to confusing.

    Thanks for any help,
    John

  • If I understand correctly, what you want to do is just list the titles of the apps on a page as links to the app articles.

    If that is correct, and the slug for your Business Apps category is business-apps, you can make a copy of archive.php named category-business-apps.php.

    Then strip out all the excess content and change the number of posts_per_page.

    You are correct about what I would like to accomplish.

    I am not sure how to do what you suggest. Not a good wordpress changer/alterer of code. Is there an easier way or description?

    Are you saying to copy the archive.php file and re-name it category-business-apps?

    Stripping out the excess is to remove content not wanted from the archive.php file?

    Where do I change the number of posts-per-page?

    Hope you don’t mind all the questions.
    Thanks,

    If you will put a copy of your archive.php file in a pastebin and post a link to it here, I will take a look at it and offer more concrete suggestions.

    Here it is: https://pastebin.com/cgBJ3NAC

    Copy this pastebin article to category-business-apps.php in your theme folder.

    I copied the top part of the code box first (“download…”)…nothing changed. Then the bottom part (“submit a corrected…”)…nothing changed.

    I added it to the theme (Business Corp) I am currently using. I am sure I did something incorrectly.

    What do I need to do? The file is still installed.

    Thanks,

    The file is named: category-business-apps.php

    Check to make sure the file name is formed correctly. Make sure the ‘slug’ for the category is business-apps. Otherwise, try naming the file ‘category-33.php’ where 33 is the id of the category. See the Codex article on Category Templates.

    My mistake. The file had a .php.txt extension. I just re-named and it works fine.

    Is there a way to make the names in the list larger? They are kind of small.

    Thanks,
    John

    Add these lines to the end of style.css:

    div#content ul li.title a { font-size: 1.5em; }
div#content ul { padding-left: 20px; }
