Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to create category archives for individual categories

For example, I have a WooCommerce store with 3 different categories Product Cat A, Cat b, Cat C. From your documentation I can see how to create a custom archive that would style all these categories the same. Is there a way to create an Archive that I can apply to Cat A, another Archive that I can apply to Cat B etc

The use case for this is I would like to apply a different banner and top content to each category archive - see screenshot

Thanks!

Hi Stewart.

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually its not possible to create a separate archive for each category however you can use [wpv-conditional] shortcode to check the term being used on that archive and build a different template for each term.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi - I don't really understand what you mean - would you be able to point me in the direction of any documentation for how to do this?

Thanks

Hi Stewart,

Sure I'll provide an example as well.

Take a look at this.

[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-archive-title]' eq ' Archive A' )"]
custom design A

[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-archive-title]' eq ' Archive B' )"]
custom design B

[/wpv-conditional]

So from the code above When you are on Archive A only the design for Archive A will be shown and vice versa.

For more information on conditionals please check the link below.

Please let me know if this clears things up for you.
Thanks,
Shane
