More than one loop in custom category page

[seezee]

I'm using the Executive Pro child theme for a client & I've created a custom post type 'Products.' The individual CPTs each have a category applied, e.g., vertical-stack-series or horizontal-stack-series.

The client doesn't like the default archive display, so I need to be able to display the archive with the products organized by category, which presumably means multiple loops based on post-type and category. Furthermore, they want to use a grid display, not the default 'stacked' layout.

I found lots of tutorials on how to create a custom archive, but none that deal with multiple taxonomies on the same page. I could use some advice on this; thanks.

You can use CSS or PHP to displays them in columns

Here's an example http://my.studiopress.com/themes/executive/#demo-full

It doesn't show the taxs but you can add custom taxonomy support using code which that theme includes.

I managed to get this working with a combination of the Display Posts Shortcodes plugin by Bill Erickson & this snippet in my custom plugin (you could put this in your functions.php instead, but I prefer to write my own plugin & leave the theme files alone).

The snippet adds the Genesis column classes, so no need to modify any CSS.
