I am also wondering how to get the "category archive" pages to look like our blog page... In that it displays images and media right on the page and does not have to be clicked on. The first screen shot is an example of our blog and how we want the "category archive" pages to look, and the second one is how our "category archive" pages currently look.
Hello, Go to the category.php file present in your theme directory and edit the file as shown in the image given below. This will solve your issue.
