  When I’m in the first level blog Post Page (which we have set as Archive) the Recent posts widgets functions great. However, when in a deeper level page they pull in all posts to the database including Team Members, clients, etc. — see attached images.

  Let me know how this can be fixed.
  Thanks!
  Tim

  I deactivated all plugins except for Swift Framework and the problem persists. Also tried deleting all custom CSS. Still no luck.

  Please advise.

  Hi

  Does this happen if you don’t set the page as the archive? Not sure why that’s needed instead of just using the blog asset

  It’s gets confusing for the user because when someone clicks on a category that the blog post their reading is filed under, it takes them to the blog index page that is set in the theme customization; however, whatever page that is set to cannot be customized with the swift page builder to look like a nicely designed landing page with slider etc.

  So what I did to get around this was create a blog landing page with your blog asset that I direct visitors to via the main nav, but if they click on the category right under the title in the blog post they will go to that blog index page (which I have named Archive so not to be confused with the blog landing page) with all blogs in that category. I’d be nice if they clicked on the category in the blog post and were directed to the blog landing page with that filter selected. This would make more sense. Right now I have created an archive of blog posts with search functionality, breadcrumbs, recent articles, recent work, blah blah blah so that it feels like the user is digging through old posts. A “Blog Archive” not to be confused with our official blog.

  Is this a good fix? The only problem is this incorrect feeding of tags into the sidebar widgets. Looks unprofessional. Is there a fix? The widgets work fine with in the Archive page – it’s just when they go deeper into a archive>category page that things get weird.

  Thanks!

  Hi

  Go to Settings > Reading, have you set the page as the ‘posts page’? If you have, you need to remove that, that’s what’s forcing the archive layout

  Problem still exists in the blog category index page. The recent posts widget brings up client items instead of just portfolio posts and the recent blog post widget brings up client item instead of just blog posts.

  It’s a bug that I don’t know how explain or help you fix. But I’ve created a work around for the time being.
