Replicate “Featured Posts” for categories

  • Hey ??

    I enjoy the Dyad theme very much, but I’d like to use the “Featured Posts” from the front page on other pages as well, because my website is going to be very content-heavy and I would like to show collections of posts in the same layout on different pages.

    I started by creating a PHP loop on the sub-site (WP_Query(‘cat=7’)) and then added the get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, ‘blocks’ ). Basically I’ve copied the index.php but changed the loop. However, this doesn’t really work and looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/XIuV9

    I noticed that the one post that does appear somewhat normally is the only one with no featured image. Can somebody help me out? My understanding of PHP is very basic, and if I made a silly mistake, I apologize ??

    Thanks!

    PS: This is the loop I created on a subpage:

    <?php
    $frontPost = new WP_Query(‘posts_per_page=6&cat=7’);
    if ($frontPost->have_posts() ) :
    while ($frontPost->have_posts() ) : $frontPost->the_post(); ?>

    <?php get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, ‘blocks’ );
    endwhile;
    endif; ?>

    Hi @lucamiras,

    If you add different categories to each of your posts, you can then add a link to the different categories in your site’s custom menu (you can find guidance for setting up a custom menu here). The “category pages” will display posts in a given category in the same style that you see on the front page of your site.

    Would you also like the slider of featured posts that appears at the top of Dyad’s fonrt page to display on category pages? If so, I laid out the steps you need to take in this forum post:

    Take a look through the above and let me know if it helps you to achieve what you’re after.
