An Archive template in the SeedProd Website Builder lets you design a custom layout for your WordPress archive pages — the pages that display collections of posts grouped by category, tag, author, date, or custom taxonomy.
Step 1: Add a New Archive Template
In your WordPress admin, go to SeedProd > Website Builder and click Add New Template.
Step 2: Configure the Template Settings
In the New Theme Template popup, configure the following settings before creating the template:
- Type: Select Archive from the dropdown.
- Name: Enter a name to identify this template.
- Conditions: Set the display conditions to control which archive pages this template applies to — for example, all archives, a specific category, a custom taxonomy, or an author archive.
- Priority: Set a priority number to manage which template applies when conditions overlap. A higher number takes precedence over a lower one.
Click Create Template to open the template in the SeedProd builder.
Step 3: Design Your Archive Template
Inside the builder, design your archive layout. Two blocks are essential for an archive template:
- Archive Title — displays the name of the current archive (for example, “Category: News” or “Author: John”).
- Posts block — displays the list of posts for the current archive. This block is required. Make sure its Query Type is set to Default so it automatically shows the posts belonging to the archive being viewed.
Step 4: Publish the Template
When your design is complete, click the dropdown arrow on the Save button and select Publish. Your Archive template will immediately begin applying to the archive pages that match its display conditions.
Your Archive template is now live. You can return to SeedProd > Website Builder at any time to edit the template, adjust its conditions, or create additional Archive templates for different taxonomies or post types on your site.
