Static Content On Category Page – How To Display Landing Page on Category URL

  • Hi, I’ve been searching Google all evening but can’t find anything up-to-date on this.

    As default, when you visit a category page, you are shown a feed of all the posts within that category.

    i.e. when visiting www.website.com/travel-guides/ you are shown a chronological feed of all the posts categorised as ‘travel-guides’.

    Instead of this, I would like to have a fixed, static post or page as the landing page for categories.

    i.e. visiting www.website.com/travel-guides/ would display a landing post/page with fixed content.

    There are a few – very outdated – plugins that do something similar to this, but nothing that seems to work or that’s been recently updated.

    1. Is this achieved via rewrites?
    2. Is there a plugin that does this?
    3. Is there something else I should be looking at?

    If anyone can help point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks to Jan for cleaning up my original post but, to be clear, website.com is just an example.

    The specific category I’m talking about is:

    https://letsflamingo.com/travelling-with-kids/travel/

    But, instead of displaying a feed of all the posts categorised as ‘travel’, I would like to display a static landing page, using this template (which is a standard post template within the theme I’m using):
