Page category articles

Introduction

This component allows you display all pages linked or that belong to a Page category of your store.

To understand how this component is connected to the pages, you must be aware of the following:

  • By going to your store’s admin panel within Customization > Pages > All Pages, you will notice a section at the left side called Categories.
  • Here you can create as many categories as you want, but upon creation, all Jumpseller stores comes already with one created by default: Blog.
  • Blog will group any page that you assign this category to.
  • You will also find a pre-created page called Blog post, which is already linked to the this category.
  • At the right side you will find the list of pages, where all pages you create will be displayed.

Next, we explain how you can link a page to a category, in this case, for the Blog:

  • Go to the list of pages and either create a new page or access to one that you already have.
  • Inside the page settings add its respective content, such as Title and body.
  • Then, scroll down the page until you find the Properties section, in which you will need to focus on two options:
    1. Categories: Here you need to choose the one called Blog.
    2. Template: Here choose the template that will display the information and content of your article, called Post.
  • Save your changes and can click on the “View” link at the top right corner to see how it looks.
  • Additionally, if you haven’t changed the permalink of the Blog category page, you can view it either by going to its settings and clicking on the “View” link or by openening a new browser tab and write the page URL, like for example store-name.jumpseller.com/blog or your-domain.com/blog.
  • Once there you will be able to see all Articles that are linked to your Blog.

Note: You can perform these actions and follow the same steps to achieve something similar to any other category page you want to create, like for example a “News” or *Tips page.
