Using custom posts/pages for category pages instead of default ones

    Hey Anyone who’s kindly reading this,

    So I want to change the links coming from category all metadata (under post title and everywhere else on the site), to forward the viewer to a specific post/page I made for that category.
    The reason for this, is that I would like to have a little introduction paragraph at the top of my category pages and under those there will be the popular posts regarding that category and an archive for them as well.

    Is there any way I can make this without coding?
    Or any workflow for get this kind of result?

    Thank you!

    Hi! I’m unsure of a way to do this without code, unless there’s a plugin to handle it for you.

    I’d recommend using a child theme, then availing yourself of the WordPress category_description code. It’s outside the scope of the support we can offer, and also these forums are for the free sites at WordPress.com (here’s the difference) however you can likely find help here if needed:
