    Hi all - I've been trying (for hours) to get the category archive page on the Breakthrough Pro theme to display a list of posts in the category only with their post titles/links and, most importantly, in a single column (full width, without sidebar). I don't want to change the default theme layout to content+sidebar as that affects other pages I want to remain full width. I've tried uploading a category.php file and all manner of other things but I can't see what is controlling the 2 column appearance in the category archive pages. I can find the CSS for it but I can't find a controlling template.

    Does anyone know how to achieve this please?

    Many thanks in advance.

    You have 2 options :

    1. You can change the layout to full width on any Edit Page screen for any archive page in any Genesis child theme.

    Or

    2. You can add code to a custom category archive page template to do exactly the same thing.

    add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

    Starting at line 1681 to 1690 is the following code that controls the two column layout on the blog and archive pages. If you wanted to remove it from all locations, just remove this.

    .half-width-entries .content .entry {
      float: left;
      margin-left: 4%;
      width: 48%;
    }
    
    .half-width-entries .content .entry:nth-of-type(odd) {
      clear: left;
      margin-left: 0;
    }
    

    To remove it only from the archive pages only and leave two columns on the main Blog page, add this to the stylesheet or to your Additional CSS box under Appearance > Customize:

    .archive .content .entry {
      width: 100%;
      float: none;
      margin-left: 0;
    

    }
