Post_List vs. Post_Grid

[canuck]

On page http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/techniques/, the page is displayed in a post_list format (good).

However, if I click on the “Techniques” category on this page under one of the title, I am taken to http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/category/techniques/, which is in post_grid format.

I would like the second page to also show up in post_list format. How do I change this?

Second, on page http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/staff/, this is in post_grid format, which I want to keep, along with the category view, http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/category/practitioners/.

in other words, can I have one post category show up in post_grid for both the regular and category view, while having another category show up in post_list view?

If the above is not possible, what do you suggest as the best way to display the staff grid page and the pages themselves? I think they should be pages (vs. posts), which would help fix this issue, but there is no easy way to display the photos in a grid format or underlying format easily. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello,

Sorry, I’m a little confused by all this. Let’s back up to the beginning. How are you putting your WordPress archives into post grids in the first place? — i.e. this would be a WordPress archive — Did you do it by following this tutorial?

Hi Jason,

In an effort to get this link

http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/category/staff/

to display in grid mode (due to the size of the pictures), I used the following code in my functions.php

function my_template_parts( $parts ) {
    $parts['archive'] = 'grid';
    return $parts;
}
add_filter( 'themeblvd_template_parts', 'my_template_parts' );

While this worked fine for the “staff” archive, it made all archives “grid”, whereas I only want “staff” to be in grid.

I’ve since removed the code above, and now grid view is no longer on http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/category/staff/ (I want the page at that link to look like this: http://s1057417.instanturl.net/haleyrehab.ca/staff/).

It this possible to make the staff archive render in grid format but not any other archive?

You could try using a WordPress conditional like this:

function my_template_parts( $parts ) {
	if ( is_category( 'staff' ) ) {
    		$parts['archive'] = 'grid';
	}
	return $parts;
}
add_filter( 'themeblvd_template_parts', 'my_template_parts' );

Worked like a charm. Thanks.
