Creating an Archive Page

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 5

Hi,

maybe (hopefully) my problem is simpler that I think but I really need some help here: Could you show me how to create an archive (a collection of all previous posts, sorted by day, month, year…)?

As far as I understand I should create a new Page called “Archive”, then in the side bar under “Attributes” choose Template –> Archive (which should be archive.php). The problem is that only templates like “Pagebuilder + Empty Page, Pagebuilder + Overlay…” show up here, but no Archive Template.

So I added a comment-line to archive.php to make it show in the dropdown – which it does now. But when I select it, all I get is an empty page (except for the headline “Archive”).

Could you help me and show me how I can display content on the archive page now?

Hello,

Archive pages are generated automatically and the style can be controlled from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/vSSvdJrBIa

Thanks for the reply. But I can’t seem to get anything displayed on my archive page (http://s11.telematica.at/~tm003996/archiv/). What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Hello,
The page you created is not an archive page. This is an archive page: http://s11.telematica.at/~tm003996/2018/
These pages are already created. You do not have to create them. You cannot create them separately.
Another example:
http://s11.telematica.at/~tm003996/2018/01/
or
http://s11.telematica.at/~tm003996/2017/11/

Thanks.

Okay, it’s becoming clearer now. Thank you. What I still don’t know is how to display an Overview Page – or some sort of Hub – where the user can choose a date or timespan to go to. Any tipps on that?

thank you so much for your help

Hi,

You could use an archive widget to allow users to navigate the archives
