Category Cloud Block

A Category Cloud Block is a block that provides category based searching of content. The block will display all the category terms used on the site. The visitor may click on a term to view all content associated with the category.

Create a Category Cloud Block

  1. Navigate to the page you'd like to update, and enter the Edit mode for the page.
  2. Click on the Layout tab.
  3. Choose the Section you would like to add the block.
  4. Click on Add Block in that section.
  5. Click on Create content block in the Configuration Sidebar.

Add Category Cloud Block Content

  1. Title: this displays above the block when placed on a page.
  2. Display title: enabled by default, toggle the button to hide the block title.
  3. Body:  use this to place your text and images. You can use the editor in the body to style your content and images.

Design the Block

  1. Click on Styles tab.
  2. Icon Settings: option to add an icon to the block title and configure the position, color, and size.
