**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.
{% endhint %}
Select which sidebar to display on the blog archive page on the **Archive Page Sidebar** field:
Also, you can indicate the single post page sidebar under the **Blog Post Sidebar** area:
*The sidebars can be created on the **Sidebars** section*
{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the **Primary sidebar** from the sidebars list can be set under the **Appearance > Widgets** section
{% endhint %}
Select where to display the sidebar on the post page on the **Left** or **Right** side via the **Sidebar Position section**
For the **Grid View** of the Blog archive page, the posts Excerpt can be disabled/enabled on the **Show Excerpt (for Grid View)** field.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Show Excerpt On" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Show Excerpt Off" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
