Support » Theme: Bento » Use Grid layout on category pages

    I’m trying to use the Grid template on category pages.
    I can use the template when creating new pages, but not when creating new categories.
    So I’ve installed the “Custom Category Template” plugin and now there’s an option to choose the Grid template when creating categories, but there’s no “Grid Settings” section, so the categories keep showing like they used to.
    I need help to write the settings, even if manually, to the category pages.

    Here I have a page with grid layout:
    https://krato.com.br/

    And here a category page I’m trying to enable the same grid layout:
    https://krato.com.br/category/forca/

    Hey Guilherme,

    thank you for choosing Bento!

    At the moment the grid layout is available for static pages only; we’re working to expand this functionality to archive templates such as native blog posts pages, WooCommerce shop page, as well as category, author, tag, and data archive pages, yet still need to solve several usability issues before we can make this new feature live. It’s planned for the version 1.7 at the moment, but before it’s part of the official Bento features it’s unfortunately outside of the scope of the theme support offer as defined by the wordpress.org guidelines. Thank you for understanding!

    What I can advise is editing the “archive.php” theme template file by including the elements found in the “grid.php” template which currently is responsible for rendering static pages with “Grid” layout selected.

    Sincerely,
    Andrii / Satori Studio

    Thank you, Andrii!

    I’m also eager to display the a category page in grid or masonry style. Hope it will come soon !

    I’m with these guys. I use static pages, so I create a “blog” page that displays my blog (obviously). However, because this is apparently an “archive” page, I can’t use the grid mode (I would much prefer to display the blogs as a grid than the very long and, personally, ugly list style. I look forward to this update! 🙂
