I have ran into the problem of realizing that the K2 Category Columns (leading, primary, etc.) are not responsive.*

Please provide code to resolve this…as the K2 category column formatting can be very important to effectively format site content.

Thanks 🙂

JA Argo Template supports ja_argo theme to work with K2 Category and it supports responsive as well, see the screenshot:

Thank you for the prompt reponse, but what I am referring to is Multiple Columns. In your screenshot, you have the Leading, Primary and Secondary Column parameters set to “1”…My original post was regarding using multiple columns (2+) to display category content. For when you try to utilize two or more columnns it does not apply bootstrap columns, rendering the K2 columns non-responsive.

So I’m thinking the K2 Category columns should have Bootstrap grid styling applying for True responsive functionality.

So for example, if I create a K2 Category with 4 Column Primary parameter, it should then respond as such:

Desktop: 4 column
Tablet-Horizontal: 3 column
Tablet-Portrait: 2 column
Mobile Portrait & Horizontal: 1 column

How do those of us using JA Argo achieve this?

I am afraid the feature you mentioned requires heavy customization which is out of JA support scope. For now, configuration option for K2 layout on JA Argo Template limits to what can be seen on our demo here.

Can you please provide recommendations on how I would accomplish what I am looking for, hat I may have insight when approaching a developer.

Also, recommendations of any third-party tools that can accomplish what I am looking for would also be most helpful.

I have set K2 Category with 4 columns for testing, however, K2 does not support response. See this screenshot for reference:

+ K2 Category

+ Desktop layout

The mobile layout appears to be ugly. You should also raise this in the K2 component forum to get better help.

Your test echoed what I already stated preciously, though I was hoping for a solution not just confirmation 🙂

Next is the issue of page 2 content. I am receiving duplicate content from on page 1 on page 2 of the category listings. The element that seems to be the issue is the use of multiple columns, as the issue does not appear when the primary column parameter is set to 1. In particular, I deleted all items from the category then added 10 items. The category is set to display 8 items in 4 columns. The second page displays 5 items (3 items previously displayed on page 1).

I have the category order set to > Most recent first (by date published)
Page 2 is displaying the oldest 5 items instead of the oldest 2 items
as the category is set for 8 items per page and I have 10 items published in category

I have tested this issue with the JA Argo and the pre-loaded theme Beez and in both cases, the issue arises.

How do I solve this issue?
