Change Grid Arguments for a specific category

Written by Bill EricksonPublished on October 13, 2015Updated on December 5, 2018

Go to Genesis > Grid Loop Settings to set the site-wide defaults. Then on the category that you want to display differently, create a template file (category-{category slug}.php) and use the genesis_grid_loop_args filter to modify the settings.

In the below example, I’m assuming you have a 3 column grid with 0 features and 9 teasers sitewide. On a category called ‘dog’ you want it changed to 2 columns with 0 features and 10 teasers. This would be the content of your category-dog.php file:

	<?php
	/* Template file for the "Dog" category */

	/**
	* Customize Grid Loop
	* Display 10 posts in 2 columns
	*/
	function be_grid_loop_for_dog_category( $args ) {
	$args = array(
	'features_on_front' => 0,
	'teasers_on_front' => 10,
	'features_inside' => 0,
	'teasers_inside' => 10,
	'teaser_columns' => 2,
	);
	return $args;
	}
	add_filter( 'genesis_grid_loop_args', 'be_grid_loop_for_dog_category' );

	genesis();
