  Hey Guys

  I am hoping it is possible to modify the default blog display for Categories, Authors and the Archive pages.

  Right now it showing a Masonry layout with my default right sidebar. I want to keep the sidebar but change the blog to Mini.

  I copied the ‘author.php’ ‘category.php’ ‘archive.php’ files across to the Child Theme, and experimented by changing references to ‘masonry-fw’ to ‘mini-fw’ but no luck.

  Hi

  Just go to Theme Options > Archive/Category Options 🙂

  Ok I can’t believe I didn’t see that there! THANKS!

  Further to this, the default page meta for those archive/category pages includes breadcrumbs, and the large or hero title. Right now it says “Author archive for <AUTHOR NAME>” in H1, and category archives return “<CATEGORY NAME>” in H1.

  This is out of sync with the rest of my styling for the blog, ideally I’d like to turn off breadcrumbs for those pages and modify the content and style of the titles. For example I might set them to output “You are browsing articles by <AUTHOR NAME>” and “You are browsing articles about <CATEGORY NAME>” and have them be H4

  Any suggestions?

  You will need to use the Yoast SEO plugins to change the title’s. Do you use Breadcrumbs on any page on your site? If not just remove the plugin

  Hi Kyle

  So I disabled the Breadcrumbs – thanks

  With the Yoast SEO plugin, I can change the taxonomy of the page titles as displayed to search engines, and on the browser window/tabs etc. It doesn’t appear to modify the page title as rendered by the theme…

  Any other possibilities?

  Awesome – thats perfect.

  I guess there is no simple way to have those functions in the Child theme then. I will just have to maintain a copy of my changes so I can quickly insert them when/if there is a theme update.

  Thanks

  Yes, its a good idea to prevent your changes from updates.
  Thanks
