Hello.
Im about to buy this plugin but before I have to ask few questions to make sure this is what I looking for 
To confirm: 1. I can edit category description as normal post? I’m using Enfold. Am I able to use their builder there or at least shortcodes? (and paste shortcodes for maps and other plugins?) 2. What I assume after brief reading here, that I can have let’s say main category like:
Vehicles
—Cars
—Bikes
—Planes
And I can edit “vehicles” description like normal page and after that description I have list of my posts?
Same for “bikes” an so on?
What Im looking for is proper breadcrumb structure.
I need something like this:
Vehicles -> Cars -> My Super Tesla post
and when I click on cars I will get general description with pictures and text and afret this will have regular blog like list of all my posts from category “Cars” Same thing for Vehicles… list of all posts from all categories?
Right?
Another thing, Im using WPML and have 3 languages, and in every language around 5 main categories and 5-8 subcategories. I would like to avoid creating category-id.php file for every category I have for every language. So is it working by editing default description field using only extended editor or is there any extra database connection for description field?
I would like to use category.php file in my child theme.
EDIT: Oh, this part is in support section
Sorry for those questions, this seams like it should be default WP functionality and preety simple extension but finding this is almost impossible
Can you give me some answers please?
It would be great if I could buy your plugin and have this functionality Im looking for
And to be sure, it works with WP 4.3.1 and WPML?
Cheers! rm
Hi
////// BACKEND After Installing this plugin, you will have an additional field in your category edit page.
////// FRONT END To Integrate Theme With this plugin, a code snippet has been provided which need to be placed in your theme single category template. Which your developer can install easily or i can place it for you.
////// Translation How are you translating your single posts?
////// BreadCurmbs No it does not provide such feature.
There’s only archive.php – and the line <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?> isn’t in it. I’m using Avada theme. Any idea how to make your plugin work as I really need it. Thanks. Mike
The Demo URL is also using Avada. But i have placed the function after and before have_posts.
You can inbox me your dashboard i can place it for you if you are confused.
Thanks Ali – It’s a client site and I should try first before sharing a login. If you could tell me the path & file I need to modify – maybe even the line number I need to add it. Avada support told me wp-content >> themes >> avada >> template >> blog-layout.php line#64 But doesn’t render anything. Nor straight after ‘while have posts’ – nor in archive.php or single.php To be totally clear – I want posts of X category to have the extra content added to the end of them. Your docs are really unclear so I’m just confirming that’s what this is for! Mike
Well- I got it to work. In case it helps anyone – as I found the ‘documentation’ a bit thin.
For Avada theme there’s a file : theme/avada/templates/blog-layout.php (recommend create child theme, copy file into ‘templates’ directory and edit there)
Placing the PHP snippet there above line 64 – like this:
// Start the main loop echo wpfixit_cat_art(); while ( have_posts() ): the_post();
will render the category content above the list of posts. The trouble I had was that I forgot to put file in ‘templates’ directory of child theme.
Also worth knowing GRID layout doesn’t work with category field as it gets hidden underneath due to some insistent formatting from Avada. You have to use another layout (I’m using ‘medium’).
You can insert the snippet at line 253 – and the content will appear in every box of a grid layout – but that’s a bit much.
Lastly – the plugin doesn’t do what I really wanted – which is append the category field after single posts of that category – shame. I’ll have to use a widget instead.
‘Works with any theme’ is therefore not entirely true. ‘Can be fudged to work in a way’ would be more accurate. Had the information been clear I’d have known not to buy the plugin but I took the punt as it’s not much money.
wow thanks for such a detailedcommente, the rating reason is only visible to me so thanks for explaining it as well.
For all my previous buyers i have added code snippet myself i dont let them rely on documentation bcoz in the end they will mess up their theme so i prefer doing it myself.
Its actually good that you did all this effort by yourself.
Secondly i can not provide theme specific detail on documentation including line number as these update on daily basis.
My support was not limited dear i cannot blindly tell you which file to edit i dont memorize theme directory structures that was the only reason i offered you to give me dashboard access so i can place it accordingly.
it support all themes you just have to know where to place it, which only a developer can understand.
Have a good day..
Thanks Alisaleem
Hi there,
Do you have a demo version of a category’s post? Your live preview located at home page of other theme, not category page?
Second question: is it possible to choose where the article will be published (above / below) main content?
Thanks, Igor
Hi,
The Provided link to demo is not the homepage .
I am using my other plugin category subdomain pro which convert WordPress Category into Subdomain. Homepage is different, if you read it carefully the above detail about themeforest is from the Category Article Pro Plugin.
Secondly TOP or BOTTOM depends upon where you place your code snippet.
OK
Sorry, for disturbing again, but where exactly in admin area the category’s editor will appear? Somewhere like this page – …/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=16&post_type=post
It’s a pity, but your screenshots have only logo and final demo.
Thanks, Igor
Hi, It appears below Category Description field. Also appears in quick add category.
OK, thanks for info. Bookmarked plugin for a project. It is really rare, and from SEO goals really needed. Igor.
Doesn’t seem to work?
Did you apply the code snippet?If not then please inbox me your Dashboard so i can apply and notify about changes.
Hello,
Can I create a category which look like this page : http://kronk.fr/assurance-auto ?
(Avada shortcode. Fusion builder).
Thanks
Olivier
It totally depend on your theme, You have the field which support Shortcode, css and html so you can place anything in it. So to fit it with your theme a simple Code Snippet is provided in documentation.
I see your demo is using Avada. So I think it’s ok ? A simple copy paste of a page (with shortcode)... No ?
Yes that should work. Make sure you apply the Code Snippet properly if you don’t want to risk editing your theme file inbox me i will do it for you.
I have problems with strange css output in category description text – no strong style, links of different color.
Where does the plugin take css from?
I want to change to my default theme style.
Thanks
(There’s no support forum on your website in Chrom)
Hi, May be you incorrectly added the code snippet, you can inbox me your dashboard access I can add this correctly in your theme, secondly CSS will be inherited from theme. Support forum disabled due to recent WordPress Spam attack.
Hi,
1. Is it possible with your plugin to add content not only before the posts in the category page , but also after the posts ? 2. Will it work with the them that installed on this site ( http://top-hosting-review.org/ ) ?
Thank You Vahan
Hi,
This Plugin Support Single Article Field, which you can place either before post or after post. if you place it on both then same content will show up before and after.
And yes it will work for every wordpress site.
my theme has neither the category nor the archive php file, how can i use this plugin?
then according to template hierarchy index.php will be used, so you can paste the snippet there..
Thanks, works perfectly now I am using this with your category sub domain plugin, they are both very good
When i try to activate this plugin i receive this error Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare save_taxonomy_custom_meta() (previously declared in /home/georgepa/public_html/artdecoupage.gr/wp-content/themes/royal/framework/theme-functions.php:4373) in /home/georgepa/public_html/artdecoupage.gr/wp-content/plugins/category-article/category-article.php on line 120
Any help?
Your theme developer is using the same function name as i used in the plugin, inbox me your Dashboard i will modify my plugin specific for your site.
Hello Ali,
I couldn’t get category article pro to work even I added <?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>
to archive.php of my theme (THE7)
What do I have to do?
I tried adding these <?php
echo wpfixit_cat_art();
?> but it didnt work either.
Can you inbox me your Site url with dashboard?
by the way, I am trying to put category description into woocommerce categories… just wanted to let you know.
Yes it is suppose to work with all custom taxonomies.
details sent
please take note of the changes you do, I dont want them to disappear after a theme upgrade or something. thank you.
Found the right template, Notes to the changes also sent.
Hello, I am looking for a plugin, that can insert text above and below the articles on the category pages. I saw a user have already asked for that feature. Do you think about to support that feature?
... i will wait for that
Hi,
Currently this plugin support only single Article Field, which you can place anywhere in your category template before/after.
If you are looking for Custom Plugin you can always Inbox us.
Regards
Alisaleem252
No, a custom plugin is never a good idea.
No Problem, But the reason i don’t add more fields is to keep the plugin simple for bloggers and authors and Custom Plugin is something which meet your unique and specific requirements.
Sorry, i wrote to short. The problem with custom plugins is, that you get no updates. Only a plugin with regular updates is a good plugin. If you want to keep it simple, replace the standard category description with your WYSIWYG description. Many Themes output the description already above the posts, so no template customization is necessary. I saw that already on other plugins.
This is something which depends on the developer and your license terms,
and thanks for your suggestion but category description is used mostly for meta description but I like ur suggestion will look forward to it for further improvements.
Hello In the plug may indicate 2 unique title categories: h1…/h1 and <title>...</title>? How it is implemented in a plugin All In One SEO Pack.
Hi, Sorry didn’t get your question is it relevant to Category Article Pro Plugin?.
Yes. In Article Pro possible to derive two different title in category: h1 title1 /h1 and title title2 /title ?
if you are talking about <title></title> tags then this is something which is used above closing </head> and this is taken care of by some SEO Meta Tag Plugins not this Category Article Pro Plugin, but if you are talking about <h1>Heading1</h1> <h2>Heading2</h2> then you can use as many headings as you want.
dont work shortcodes from other plugins I wrote to you in the mail but have not received a reply

Hi, Can you please provide me your WordPress Dashboard Access to check this issue further?
Hi, I just purchased.
But it seems it is not working with my theme. I found a archive.php under my active theme and added the code but still no editor.
It will save my life if I can get this to work
Please advice.
Thank you.

Hi alisaleem252
I purchased your awesome plugin. I messaged you via your profile with more detail.
Enjoy your day and Thank You : )
Hi,
Thanks, i have just responded.
Hey @Alisaleem252 .. Thanks for your help with fixing the bug.
My site doesn’t show any errors now thanks to you, but now I’m sort of lost lol
I read your documentation and it says:
OPTION 1: USING WORDPRESS DASHBOARDGo to Appearance> Editor > Find Category.php if you are unable to find it then find Archive.php Adding php code: <?php echo wpfixit_cat_art(); ?> NOTE: Make sure you place it After Closing Tag ?>. to place it inside php make sure you remove php opening and closing tags
<?php /// In Start & ?> // in End
In other words I have to replace
<?php /// In Start & ?> // in End
with
<?php echo wpfixit_cat_art(); ?>
Am I right in this?
And if so where do I go to add the images and text I want to add to all my categories?
: )
Thanks and sorry for the long message!
Hi,
No Problem, i was in contact with you so i just sent another response.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m able to link images now!
The only thing thats not working is that the Visual Editor is not picking up on the paragraph spacing .
Thanks man! : )
Alisaleem252, I was disabling plugins playing detective and when I disabled Category Article Pro all the categories for my site no longer display. Is this because of the PHP that was manually entered?
Thanks : )
if (function_exists('wpfixit_cat_art')) {
echo wpfixit_cat_art();
}
Does this work with Pluto theme (http://themeforest.net/item/pluto-clean-personal-wordpress-masonry-blog-theme/7950280)?
it works with every theme, documentation has been provided with code snippet need to be added in theme.
Woocommerce support is a must for me to buy this plugin.
Hi,
Sure it does support Custom Taxonomies now, try it, in case you have any problem inbox me i will help you. 
I’d like one for woocommerce as well please 
Sure
Hello,
This plugin looks like what I have been looking for. We currently have a newsletter that we send out weekly and I’m trying to create a page that displays a thumbnail and an excerpt that vary’s between 200-300 words. I’m currently using a free plugin but it doesn’t display any excerpts. Will this plugin do this easily? I currently have about 15 posts that I would need to modify should that be the case.
Thank you for your reply.
This Plugin will allow you to add Article on Category Page, so it doesn’t matter how many posts you have in that category. so it will work perfectly. make sure you do read documentation after activating this plugin.
