Archive Pages

This section focuses on the archive pages, their general settings, and particularly on Events and Shop pages.

What is an archive page?

Briefly said, the archive pages are the pages where the list of posts is displayed. The archive pages are generated to collect post pages under a certain post type, category, or tag. WordPress creates archive page content automatically and uses the default template to display the list of post types. It means that you can not edit archive pages as simple pages. You can only set the Layout view and the Sidebar position.

The WordPress default archive page will appear like this in our theme:
