  Hi…
  When I click on post categories to display article list in that category, how can I get the page to show a plain list and snippets of the articles rather than the square box/image. In other words I want to see the similar layout as when I click site.com/author/authorusername like std WP layout for displaying articles in categories. I want to do this because when the articles have no images, the square boxes that represent articles that come with std Asteria category layout, also have no images – and user doesn’t know where to click. Perhaps I am doing this wrong – any help welcome.:)

  Thanks Ed

  Go to Appearance> Editor replace all the code of your author.php with this:

  Hi Towfiq – sorry I did not explain myself properly and to waste you time. What I mean’t was;

  How do I make the boxes/articles listed on this page: http://asterialite.towfiqi.com/?cat=1 list in the same way as the articles listed on this page: http://asterialite.towfiqi.com/?author=1

  i.e in standard list rather than picture boxes?

  Thanks
  Edward

  Hi Towfiq..
  I replaced all code in author.php with your new code and the page still looks the same to me – see here…

  you linked to a category page. here is a author page:
  http://www.sunfreshcleaners.co.uk/author/missjpinneyyahoo-co-uk/

  and looks like you did not edit the author.php file..

  Hi Towfiqu – thanks for your reply

  I do not want to change author page – I want to change category page!

  I want the categories to look like the default WP style eg; http://www.sunfreshcleaners.co.uk/category/home-and-house/

  (I change the template so you can see)

  eg 2. I would like my categories/articles to look same as your author/articles page: http://asterialite.towfiqi.com/?author=1 – ie list of articles

  Hope that’s clear.

  OK – is it correct I must upgrade to Asteria PRO to achieve this?

  Thank you

  Hi,
  I tried turning on/off all options in Asteria Options> Miscellaneous and nothing changes here; http://www.sunfreshcleaners.co.uk/category/garden-and-exterior/. I still have images/boxes and no article summary/list like WP default:

  I checked PRO version here; http://asteriapro.towfiqi.com/?cat=1 and I cannot see how to make category layout into list. So Miscellaneous settings or PRO upgrade will not help me?
