Custom Category "Landing Pages" Requires Page Builder plugin

<?php // Custom template for category landing pages - name this page category-loop.php

// Keep in mind that you may need to either a) install the remove Category Base plugin (to remove /category/ from archive pages) or b) add a parent page to these 'landing pages' that has a slug of 'category'.

// Get the current path.
$page = get_page_by_path( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
if($page && $page->post_status == 'publish') {
    // If there is a published page that shares this path, use that as the landing page.
    // Attempt to render the siteorigin page content, or fallback to standard post_content.
    if( function_exists('siteorigin_panels_render') && $content = siteorigin_panels_render( $page->ID ) ) {
        echo $content;
    } else {
        echo apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content );
    }

} else {
    // Otherwise, use the default loop template to list all the posts within this category.
    get_template_part('templates/loop', get_post_format());
