Hello,
I have a pre-existing website with a lot of blog articles. I migrated all the articles to a clean joomla 3.x installation and installed JA Builder. The landing an main pages (built with ja builder) are working flawlessly. The blog categories are linked to submenus in the main menu and have JA Builder’s template assigned.

The issue is:

I edit the blog category page (by selecting at the front end "mainmenu-submenu" and then the red edit icon). I add a top block (with a promotional banner) and two bottom blocks (a module using spotlight1 and a testimonials5 block). Then I publish the page and it looks ok BUT when clicking in any article of the edited category the blocks are not shown neither at the top nor at the bottom.

I tried to export the category’s page data and then import it to one specific article and then the blocks are visible in that article, but in THAT article only.

I need the blocks added at the top and bottom to show in every categorie’s article. I know that I must edit each submenu in order to modify each category’s look, but It would be impractical to edit every single article in every single category since there are too many and the blocks needed will vary on time.

Examples:
1 Edited blog category: https://amiga-mia.com/articulos/amiga-sabia
2 Non edited blog article: https://amiga-mia.com/articulos/amiga-sabia/133-articulo-estry-felicidad
3 Edited blog article: https://amiga-mia.com/articulos/amiga-sabia/15-para-que-tu-mente-trabaje-a-tu-favor

Every blog article looks like the example 2 but I need them to look like the example 3.

How can I achieve to easily show the blocks added to the category in every published blog article without editing them individually?

Thank you

Hi,

You can try with this tweak:
1) Duplicate JA Builder template style and assign to that category only: http://prntscr.com/fe5a38

2) Then when edit Category page, you will need to add all the blocks you want to use (header/banner/spotlight/etc…) to the Header section instead of Content section, like this: http://prntscr.com/fe5bmq

This way will help to keep all added blocks in article view.
