Trying to create a custom WordPress category page<\/strong> but not sure where to start? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you run a blog, it’s essential to have your posts organized into categories. This layout makes it easier for readers to find specific topics on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a default category page can look unattractive or clash with your overall design. Therefore, you might consider creating a custom WordPress category page to make this content more visually appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Fortunately, you can customize your category pages without touching a single line of code. You can build your template using the native WordPress Site Editor (AKA Gutenberg) or one of the several popular page builder plugins, then apply your design across all your categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we’ll show you two different ways to create a custom WordPress category page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Using the native WordPress editor<\/a>, which is 100% free. However, this only works with block-enabled themes. \ud83c\udfa8<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Using Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer<\/a>, which is a paid solution. You can also use a similar approach with Elementor Pro, Divi Builder, and many other page builders. \ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\t\t

    1. Use the WordPress Full Site Editor (FSE)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The WordPress Full Site Editor<\/a> enables users to edit different parts of their sites with blocks. In fact, it works similarly to the Block Editor<\/a> – just applied to your theme templates (like the category page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udc49 Note that the Editor only works with block-based themes, such as Neve FSE<\/a> (as opposed to classic themes like Neve<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most WordPress themes<\/a> will have a default category page. However, you might choose to tweak the design to align with the look and feel of your site. You may also want to add some features to your category page, such as a search box or a video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
