**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 ta&#x67;**.** \
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.

Select which sidebar to display on the blog archive page on the **Archive Page Sidebar** field:
