Customization of the “News” (Posts) Section

    I’m using your Energi theme and would like to make two changes to the “News” (Posts) section:

    1- Translate some of the interface elements — such as “Read more”, “Share”, and “Older Posts” — into Portuguese.

    2- Add a filter at the top of the page to allow users to select posts by category.

    Could you please let me know how this page was built? I don’t have access to it via Elementor.

    Thank you in advance!

    1) Translating interface elements (e.g. “Read more”, “Share”, “Older Posts”) into Portuguese
    These strings are likely hardcoded in the theme files or registered for translation. Here’s how to proceed:

    Use Loco Translate (recommended):
    Install and activate the Loco Translate plugin. Then:

    Go to Loco Translate → Themes → Energi

    Choose your language (Portuguese) or add it if it doesn’t exist yet

    Search for strings like “Read more”, “Share”, or “Older Posts”

    Translate and save

    If the strings don’t appear, let me know and I can help make them translatable.

    2) Adding a category filter above the posts
    The /category/noticias/ archive is generated by WordPress’s default category template (not built with Elementor). The Energi theme likely uses a custom archive template (e.g., archive.php or category.php).

    To add a category filter dropdown or buttons, you’d need to modify the template file.
    You can try a plugin like Filter Everything or WP Filter Posts by Category to add a visual filter. These typically work via shortcodes or widgets.

    Bonus: Elementor Access
    Since this is a WordPress archive page, Elementor Free doesn’t support editing it. You’d need Elementor Pro + Theme Builder to design category/archive pages visually.

    I’d like to change the number of articles displayed in the pagination. How can I do this?
    I have two gaps left on this page: https://servicetec.it/news/

    Hi, Thanks for reaching out!

    You can easily change the number of articles displayed per page from your WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Reading → “Blog pages show at most” option.

    Alternatively, if you’re using Elementor’s Blog Posts widget, open the page in Elementor, select the Blog Posts widget, and under the Content → Query tab, adjust the Posts Per Page value.

    This will control how many articles appear before pagination on your News page.

    Best regards,
