[Resolved] Category Page

Hi Pontigo

Thanks for reaching out. I’ll hopefully add more blog layouts to Polestar soon. At the moment, the only solution that comes to mind is to perhaps try the Portfolio or Blog widget offered by Widgets for SiteOrigin and see if that can help.

Sure, no problem.

Creating a masonry layout for the category pages would be a custom development task requiring the enqueuing of a script and customization of the markup used. If you need a starter child theme for Polestar, you can find one here https://purothemes.com/documentation/polestar-wordpress-theme/child-theme-library/.

The archive page is setup as follows:
https://github.com/purothemes/polestar/blob/develop/archive.php
https://github.com/purothemes/polestar/blob/develop/loops/loop-blog.php

If you’re editing existing theme files from within a child theme they should go in the same relative location so archive.php goes in your child theme root folder and loop-blog.php goes into a folder called loops in your child theme.

If you created your child theme yourself, take care that you aren’t enqueuing the parent stylesheet twice as Polestar uses a minified stylesheet. All that’s needed in the child theme is to enqueue the child style.css file https://github.com/purothemes/polestar-child/blob/master/functions.php.
