  Hi there,

  WordPress.com users are not provided FTP access for security reasons. You can read more about that here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

  Can you let me know a little about what you’re looking to do? Perhaps it’s still possible through other avenues!

  Hi Rana,

  I’m afraid not. WordPress.com users are not provided access to any .php files. What are you looking to do with your categories?

  Hi there,

  The best way to do this would be to use the Display Posts shortcode explained here:

  Display Posts Shortcode

  To do this, you would need to create a separate page for your categories (rather than using the default category page. Within the new page, place the following code:

  [display-posts category="starters-salads" posts_per_page="30" image_size="thumbnail"]

  Additional modifier attributes can be found in the link above.

  Can you give that a try and let me know if it accomplishes what you’re looking for?

  Hi Jeremy,

  On more issue I have:

  Is there any alternative solution for custom designing of the page, apart from upgrading the CSS.

  Please suggest me.

  Thanks

  Can you explain a bit more of what you’re looking to do? If you’re looking to change fonts and upload custom CSS, then the Custom Design upgrade will be necessary. However, if you’re looking to do something else, it may be possible without the upgrade. Just let me know what you’re looking to do!

  I am looking to display the listing like this:

  Ah, I understand. So, you would like to display the posts in a grid fashion rather than vertical. Is that correct? Currently, it doesn’t look like that is possible without modifying your functions.php file (not available at WordPress.com). Here is how the shortcode developer suggests accomplishing this:

  Add Column Classes to Display Posts Shortcodes

  I apologize! Let me know if I’ve misinterpreted your request.

  Thanks Jeremey for your response.

  But I am looking for something else. Please find the below link:

  http://zaatarandquinoa.com/

  Now in navigation bar, you will find a tab of “Recipes”, It has further sub-menu, Click on any sub menu and you will find a page. On that page you will find the thumbnails whose formatting is not proper, so I want to customize the CSS so that it will result into something like this as below:

  http://rgbchef.com/demos/zaatarandquinoa/category/starters-salads/

  Find the difference between the two and do let me know if there is any solution to display the thumbnails like the second URL without upgrading the CSS.

  Thanks

  Hi,

  I’m afraid that will not be possible without using CSS. I made some modifications, but you will need to use CSS for them to take effect. Here’s a snapshot of my rough draft:

  http://d.pr/i/nprT

  Here’s the CSS I used:

  div.listing-item {
  	height: 150px;
  	width: 150px;
  	padding: 30px 30px 30px 30px;
  }
  
  img.attachment-thumbnail.wp-post-image {
  	height: 150px;
  	width: 150px;
  	max-width: 300%;
  }

  In order for the CSS to save, you will need to purchase the upgrade.

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!
