Hi

I am working on child theme files called newsindex.php and summaryindex.php. Those are creating different blog streams for News and Editorials.

When clicking on ‘Older Posts’, it will always display the posts from page 1, whilst the URL displays Page 2 (and so on).

For the life of me I cannot figure out what causes this. The main blog page is working fine.

Please help.

Hi @Dan,

Seems you’re using page template and running the queries to list out the post of certain categories. This won’t work like that. Since this is part of customizaion and is beyond theme support scope, you’ll need to hire a customizer.

@Mahesh

Unsatisfactory answer, I am very disappointed. I will not hire a customizer, but see if other, more powerful themes can handle multi-stream better better. Not necessarily Catch Themes, though.

Hi @Dan,

Sorry, we didn’t mean to disappoint you. Once you do some customization on your theme, the code would have changed from what it is in the main theme and we won’t be able to check all your codes that is why it is beyond our theme support scope.
For you above problem you can achieve it with category page options to. That will list the post of certain category. If that would work for you, I would be happy to provide you with the solution.

Hi @Mahesh

Yep, the underlying problem of starting customization is clear to me. Indeed, if I want to do some more serious rework, then I will need someone to build it for me. But not yet: First this site needs to take off a bit more before I invest.

Meantime, if you could let me know what you have in mind with category page options, I would appreciate it. I hope this would not interfere with SEO? I have set categories to noindex, follow to avoid duplicate content.

Please advise

Thanks
Dan

Hi @Dan,

For this, you can have category name in the menu instead. Go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Menu”, select your menu then click on categories accordion and select the categories you wanted and click Add to Menu. And then save the menu. Check in the frontend you’ll see the selected categories listed in the menu. And the page shows the list of post with related categories just as your requirement.

Let me know if any problem.

Regards,
Mahesh
