Customizing category display page?

    Would like to add a block of copy that would show in this category only. I’m using Ignite Plus with child theme. I’m ok with modifying code, but… Which theme file controls this?

    Second question also related to category display: when I first load a category page, it doesn’t show the articles in 2 columns, there are some blank spaces — if I resize the page, even slightly, content all snaps into place. Hopefully you’ll see this at link above.

    Is this a CSS issue, or Javascript, and how would I go about fixing?

    Theme’s been working very well otherwise, very easy to work with.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Thanks for using Ignite Plus!

    If you visit the Posts > Categories menu and select a category, you’ll find a page (like this) where you can add a custom description to the category. Ignite Plus will display this description at the top of the page above the posts.

    As for the layout, can you try emptying both your site’s cache and also your browser cache and let me know if that helps?

    Thanks for your help, had some time to work with this today.

    1. There is text in that description area, but it’s not appearing on the category page.
    2. No change after clearing caches.

    Can you check if this setting is enabled in the Additional Options section in the Customizer: https://d.pr/i/dyiYex. That could explain why the description isn’t showing yet.

    As for the layout, let’s try something else then. Please add the following CSS snippet to your site and let me know how it works for you:

    @media all and (min-width: 62.5em) {

  .two-column .loop-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
  }
  .two-column .excerpt {
    margin: 0 0 1.5em !important;
  } 
}

    You can copy and paste that code into the Additional CSS section in the Live Customizer (Appearance > Customize), and it will take effect right away.

    1. Worked, easier than the way I was going to try. Don’t know how I overlooked that.
    2. Yes! As soon as I pasted the code in, everything snapped into place.

    Thanks again for your help,
    Sam
