Using different grids on multiple category page

[Marijn]

Hi all!

I've been looking everywhere and it seems impossible.... So my last hope..

I really want one of my category pages to have a different grid then the other category pages. Is this somehow doable??

I got like 5 category pages which are ok with the same grid look but now I made one category page on which logged-in users can post their own posts. But I want to have that category page look like sort of pinterest style, or just with 4 or 5 featured posts on a row..

Hope that someone can help me out!! Would be very much appreciated!
(oh.. and I'm not a programmer of any kind..)

Can you provide a link to your site? That would help with visualizing what you're asking for, and providing a more specific solution.

HI, thanks for your reply! The link to my blog page is: blog

So my blog page is showing 7 featured posts and now I want a specific category page to show 9 teasers in 3 columns...

add_filter('post_class', 'grid_view_post_class');
function grid_view_post_class( $classes ) {
   if( is_category(ENTER YOUR SPECIFIC CATEGORY ID	HERE)):
        $classes[] = 'one-third';
	global $wp_query;
	if( 0 == $wp_query->current_post || 0 == $wp_query->current_post % $columns )
		$classes[] = 'first';
  endif;
	return $classes;
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'post_items');
function post_items( $query ) {
	if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && is_category(ENTER YOUR SPECIFIC CATEGORY ID HERE) ) {
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '9' );
	}
}

Add the above code in your functions.php file. Hope that it will help you.

Hi Genwrock,

Thanks for your reply but that code resulted in an error.. I tried adding the category ID with and without the ' .

[Genesis Developer]

Had to add the code again to reproduce the error and... now I started with the category between ' and no error.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding..

But I see no changes tot the grid, Do I need to change some more?

Thanks for your help!

oops.. I made a mistake. Please replace this line

if( 0 == $wp_query->current_post || 0 == $wp_query->current_post % $columns )

by

if( 0 == $wp_query->current_post || 0 == $wp_query->current_post % 3)

Changing that line gave me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&' in /home1/marijnb/public_html/pipstudioservies.nl/wp-content/themes/parallax-pro/functions.php on line 188

[Genesis Developer]

Ok. Use the pastebin.com and put the full code of functions.php file. Next share the link. I'll look it

After the error I put back the original code you gave me and now it seems to work? So looks like you didn't make a mistake there..

Please see the new version here http://pastebin.com/5VQQ7jjB . I modified the code little bit. Before there was a bug.
