    Hi,
    I'm using LifeStyle Pro as childtheme.
    When clicking on a category in the category-widget, always the front-page is opening instead of the custom category-page.
    There are 5 categories, and each has an individual category-page.
    I want that clicking on a certain category would open the certain page.

    How could this work?

    kind regards
    Rainer

    Did you create category templates and assign them to pages or did you customize standard pages for each category? It should work if your created category templates. See this article to learn how category templates work: https://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

    Hi Victor,
    I had created category pages with "Custom Blog"-template. Then I created a widget "Individual Menu" and linked it with a new menu I created for the 5 categories. This is working too.

    It was too difficult for me to create 5 category templates. But now the solution is working fine.
