Hi Nigel,

I am using layout for

1. Archives
2. Category archives
3. Tag archives

i need to display 3 different cells for the above types of pages.

i will be creating 3 different cells that should be display only when the page is either above conditionally.

what is the best way to approach this ?
3 layout is usual practice, but hard to manage since the archive cell inside is same at all 3 layouts,

is there any conditional code that can be used for this purpose ?

something like this

if page is 'archives' hide cell 2, 3 , if page is ''cat archives' hide cell 1,3 etc, i think jquery ?

i got this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6374682/jquery-if-this-href-contains

wonder why its not working at the js editor :

( function( $ ) {
$( document ).ready( function(){

$('a[href*="rise-blog/category/"]').each(function() {
    alert('Contains rise-blog/category/');
});
});

The right approach would be to use Visual Editor cells for these cells, and then wrap the content of the cells in wpv-conditional shortcodes.

You will be testing against a "custom" function (https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/using-custom-functions-in-conditions/), although you don't need to write any functions (but you must register them), you can use the standard WordPress functions

is_category() (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_category/)
is_tag() (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_tag/)
is_tax() (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_tax/)

If these archives share the same custom archive, you might find it easier to create separate custom archives for each (re-using the same WordPress Archive cell).

Yes , its using same archive, is there any setbacks for using many layouts in performance wise ?

Thanks

No, because you only use one Layout at a time, and the archive cell is just working with the existing query generated by WordPress for the archive indicated by the URL the visitor is on.

If you assign a particular Layout to the category archive then when a user visits the category archive URL on the front end Layouts pops up to say "I'll render the content for this page", and then when it comes to what to render it looks at the archive cell to determine what to render on that part of the page.

It makes no difference that other Layouts may also include the same archive cell.
