How to Upload The Template
Go to Divi Theme Builder
To upload the template, navigate to the Divi Theme Builder in the backend of your WordPress website.
Upload Website Template
Then, in the top right corner, you’ll see an icon with two arrows. Click on the icon.
Navigate to the import tab, upload the JSON file that you could download in this post, and click on ‘Import Divi Theme Builder Templates‘.
Save Divi Theme Builder Changes
Once you’ve uploaded the file, you’ll notice a new template with a new body area that has been assigned to All Category Pages. Save the Divi Theme Builder changes as soon as you want the template to be activated.
How to Modify The Template
Open Category Page Template Body Layout
To modify the template’s elements, start by opening the template’s body layout.
Inside the Body Layout Editor, you can edit the design on the front end using the Divi Builder just like you would with a normal Divi page.
About the Template
This category page template has a few dynamic elements that will work automatically including:
- Category Page Post/Archive Title
- Post Slider Module – displays the first three posts for the current category page.
- Blog Module 1 – displays the first post content for the current category page.
Here is a quick illustration that identifies the dynamic elements of the Online Yoga Category Page Template.
Updating the Template’s Dynamic Elements
Category Page Title
The Page title is added using a text module that displays the post/archive title as dynamic content. By default, the category page title is going to be the name of the current category.
To edit the title, open the settings for the text module, click the gear icon to edit the dynamic element, then update the before and after HTML as needed.
Blog Module(s)
Posts for Current Page
Since this is a template that has been assigned to all category pages for the site, there are going to be one or more blog modules that are set to display posts for the current page. This is how the template displays the posts dynamically for each category page.
You can update the rest of the settings (like post count) to adjust the module elements and design. However, make sure to keep the option Posts for Current Page set to YES.
Post Offsets
If more than one blog module is used on the template, the post offset option is used in conjunction with the previous blog module to preserve the order of dynamic posts by picking up where the previous blog module left off. For example, if the previous blog module had a post count of 1, the next blog module will have a post offset of 1 to display posts starting at #2.
Keep this in mind when making updates to blog modules’ post count and offsets.
Updating the Template’s Static Elements
Some elements on a category page template will need your immediate attention before using it live on your own website. These elements are called static because they will not update dynamically.
Email Optin
To allow the Email Optin Module to show up in your design, you’ll need to link an email account.
Contact Form
You’ll add your email address to the Contact Form Module to ensure you receive emails.
Update Other Category Page Static Content
Other content that isn’t going to change dynamically should be updated as well. These include all modules displaying text, links, social media follow icons, etc.
