Using PageBuilder on Category archive

Customer enjoys PB so much they would like to be able to control the Category archive pages the same way.

Right now, it is not possible AFAICS. Is that something possible using hooks? If so, which ones?

To accomodate their need, I’ve set up “fake” category archives using “pages”. But that’s an ugly hack, I’d rather stick to the WP architecture.

For example, what they would like to do is use PB to give more visual focus on 5 posts in that category via custom widgets using post thumbnails, and have the older ones simply listed as plain title links.

    Hi Alexandre,

    This isn’t really possible at the moment. Well besides the custom pages method you mentioned.

    I wouldn’t want to add this feature to the core of Page Builder, but it might make a very awesome addon plugin. There are definitely ways to implement this.

    Indeed. Ideally, PB could hook into pre_get_posts so the addon uses the archive main loop for post templating widgets. That would be the most resource-efficient.
