    Hi, I need to create a custom loop on a specific category... but I can't seem to figure out the correct code for my functions.php . Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This is my non-working code that I've come up with so far for my page

    if (is_category('trip-examples')) { 
    remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
    add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'my_custom_loop' );
     }
    
    function my_custom_loop() {
    
     echo 'custom loop code will go here - I can figure this part out, just need help figuring out how to replace the loop!';
    	}

    I figured it out! for anyone else who may need it:

    add_action('genesis_before','change_some_actions');
    function change_some_actions() {
     
        if (is_category('7')) {
     
           remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
    add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'my_custom_loop' );
        }   
     
    }
    
    	
    
    /** Code for custom loop */
    
    function my_custom_loop() {
    
     echo 'custom loop here';
    	}
