    Hi all,

    This might be a noob question but….

    I’ve set up Posts on my website to categorised as News. Everyhting is working fine, but when I click to view the story I can then get to the category page (ie – http://www.domain.com/category/news).

    This is all fine but I want to edit this page which is essentially all my post in one place.

    Can someone tell how to access this page through wordpress? I want to put a custom sidebar on it, but I can’t even find it to edit.

    Any help is appreciated!

    I don’t understand your question completely, but you can’t edit only the archive page from one separate category. There’s another solution since you only want to replace the sidebar: look for a plugin called “Custom Sidebars” or (even better, I think) “Content Aware Sidebars”. These will make it possible to replace the sidebar with a custom sidebar on some pages/posts without editing the code.

    Ok, so you need an example…

    I have breadcrumbs enabled, and my posts categorised. If i view one of the posts the breadcrumb is like this:

    Home > Category > Post Title

    If i click the “Category” link in the above breadcrumb, I’m taken to a page that has all my posts on it. I want to edit this page. I also want to add this page to a menu.

    My issue is I cant find it anywhere to edit.

    Hi David,

    Could you provide your site Url too? If you want to add in menus then you may go to dashboard-> appearance -> menus and create a custom menu or if it is already a page then you can drag and drop the page. View this below screenshot.

    Hope this may help you

    If you like changes in the code then the breadcrumbs is from the plugins. So you may customize the breadcrumbs plugins.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    I don’t think you are understanding my question, as I know how to edit menus and pages.

    The page I am trying to customise is this one:

    http://www.tc-ad-dev.co.uk/category/news/

    In the url, the “news” refers to the category of the posts I’m displaying. This linked page above is nowhere in my page menu in dashboard, so i can’t specify a sidebar or add it to a menu (without direct linking it, which i don’t want to do as the site will be moved eventually).

    Please let me know how to edit this page.

    Kind regards, David

    PS – Also if you could remove the link from this post after you’ve seen it that would be appreciated, as it’s a work in progress for a live project.

    Hi David,

    The above provided link is the news category. yes exactly you have not created any category but it is displaying according to category(news). If you really want to customize the code then first of all create a child theme then only customize the code. So that while updating to our new version your customized code will not be lost.

    This above content is displayed from the archive page. You just go to the theme folder -> inc -> structure-> content-extension.php on line no 87 to 174, you will find this below code
    if ( ! function_exists( 'ultimate_theloop_for_archive' ) ) :

    If you like to customize then you can customize the code here.

    Thank you!
