Custom Archive Template

[manavecplan]

Hi,

I'm using Authority Pro and loving it!

I was looking to create a custom Archive template because I wanted to showcase all the posts with the featured images in a grid layout with pagination.

What I'd like to do is use the Category Archive template as the template for the main Archive.

I've found the Archive.php file in the theme folder. Where can I find the Category Archive template?

Am I looking at this the right way?

Looks like you want to show a grid of featured images on /blog.

If so, you could simply create a file named home.php and customize the loop using actions and filters in it.

Do you have a mockup or screenshot of what you are trying to do?

Thanks for responding Sridhar!

I already have a grid for posts on /blog. What I wanted to do was create a grid for posts on /blog/archives.

While I couldn't get a grid, creating a better looking Archive for posts (from the default) was easier than I expected.

Here's how I created a better looking default Archive page in Authority Pro:

1. Create a page called Archive.
2. Select the Blog Template.
3. Add the a Custom HTML widget (linking to the Archive page) to one of the Front Page widgets.

Result

I'm pretty that's not actually the way to do it but I guess it works.

I do want a grid for all my posts on /blog. Not sure how to do this with Authority Pro. I tried to add that page to the grid-layout.php file, but it broke the site when I did.

Seems crazy not to use the code that is already programmed on the site.
