Cómo crear una página de archivos personalizada en WordPress

   Great article.

   I have maybe a silly question. Is there any SEO benefit if I have a custom archive page or even archive.php. in the theme folder?

   Or is it the same as creating a new page with url mydomain/archive and listing all my posts and pages based on the categories I want. This is what I would prefer.

   Thank you

     Having a custom archive would not give an SEO benefit, it would be personal preference and you can use your second method if you wanted.

   Hi–my site is using the Genesis framework an it has a child theme. I tried to implement the page-archive.php, but I skipped the part where I copy the page design from page.php and I’d hope it would work regardless.
   So when I tried implementing this, when I go to my Archive place, it gives an Internal error, ie. 505 and cannot find the page itself.
   How does this work with Genesis?

     Adding a custom page template would be the same as with any other theme, it seems like there may be a problem with the code you’re using to create the archive page.

   Firstly, Thank you so much. But I can’t see any sidebar in this page. In normal pages it is visible. I will be so happy if you can help me out to display sidebar here too. Thanks In advance!

   • WPBeginner Support

     For the sidebar, sadly that is theme specific for what needs to be added, if you reach out to your theme’s support they should be able to let you know how they have the sidebars added to the templates.

   Hi,

   This was a great tutorial. However, the CSS code for the categories does not seem to work. It is shown as a list with categories and subcategories. Where do I embed the code that you have given in the style.css file? What is meant by make it appear inline? It would be great if you could help me resolve this?

   Is it possible to filter the archive to just one category of a post?

   Thank you for this helpful tutorial. I do follow along and have my custom archive page up. However, I still get the default WP archive under my custom settings. Could you please have a look and tell me what have I done wrong?

   Thanks for your kind reply.

   I wonder if anyone can help?
   hopefully someone might be able to help with an unusual problem that I have noticed – and it appears to have been occurring since Nov 2017 or before…
   For example…
   this url has been generated/created and I don’t know how or why… it seems that with two categories if I take a ‘whole’ url and copy and paste that after the category part only url then it will resolve… (and has been indexed!)

   ie

   I think this has only happened with (archive) pages…

   To make matters worse these urls have been indexed by Google. I don’t know if a plugin has caused this or something else…

   Note the single ‘/’ in the second part of the url…

   Dear Sir,

   How to customize the look of default archive page. I want to add 2 sidebars instead of 1 sidebar. I am talking about this page https://www.wpbeginner.com/2017/06/

   Thanks

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     Hi Subhash,

     For that you’ll need to edit your theme’s date.php or archive.php template files and call your sidebars in the template file.

    Hi !

    I’m preparing a news site with WP theme but I have a GREAT question about archives, maybe you’d be able to give me your opinion thanks to your experience.
    The site must give a new version everyday (relating to the paper edition) and offer an archive page which allows to find the old editions as it was published the day ‘d’. Plugins in WP allow only to have articles by date, so we have a list of the old artilces for a specific date but not the whole edition (a complete copy of the site as it was published at a ‘d’ date). Do you know any plugin for WP to ‘make a copy’ of a site so it’d be possible to link every ‘copy-date’ with a date in the calendar table? or an archive plugin to have automaticly the old editions ? Is it possible to have a folder (in the WP repertory) which contains all the articles of an edition ? so I can link each folder to a date in my calendar table ?
    – Do you have in your favorite lists a good WP theme for newspaper ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Upload the page-archive.php in your WordPress themes folder, and you have created an Archives page template.

    I am having difficulty with this part. How do I upload the page-archive,php in the wordpress themes folder?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      You can do that using an FTP Client. Your WordPress hosting provider will provide you login details.

      Once connected to your site using FTP, you need to visit /wp-content/themes/ folder. There you need to open your theme folder and upload the file from your computer. See our guide on how to use FTP to upload files to WordPress.

    Hi, is there a way just to list certain categories i.e. exclude some categories from the list?
    Thank you.

      yes you can use wp_list_categories function like this.

      <ul>
      <?php wp_list_categories('exclude=4,7&title_li='); ?>
      </ul>

    Hello,

    I have registered different CPT.

    I have created a page template which list posts for a given CPT.

    I have put a query (query_posts(‘posts_per_page=-1&post_type=my_cpt_one’); before the loop.

    Than I have selected the page template when creating the page archive of the given CPT.

    How to use the same page template for each CPT?

    For example, I want three page archive named “my cpt one”, ‘my cpt two”, “my cpt three” which calls the same page template.

    Of course, i could use three page templates, but I’m looking for a way to use only one page template.

    My problem is to set in the query the post type slug.

    Is that possible?

    Cheers.

    Thanks so much! This has helped a lot in creating a custom Archives page for my website.

20. WPBeginner Staff

    That’s because template tag wp_list_categories generates a bulleted list of your categories by default. Child categories are displayed indented under their parent categories. You can use
    &lt?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&style=none'); ?> to display your categories with line breaks.

    I am looking high and low for my themes folder… I know a
    little more than basic for coding, but working with Wordpress has been
    difficult for me trying to find everything. Maybe it is not compatible with
    what I have.

    I am trying to have a page on my blog for a list of Archived
    blog posts that looks like this: https://www.wpbeginner.com/archives/ with year,
    month, and categories. I have a lot of posts. I tried the plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/archives/
    for Archives and created a page and added [archives] and all I got was a whole
    list of all my blog post titles. It was long.

    I found this post https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-an-archives-page-in-wordpress/
    but I cannot locate a themes folder in wordpress. Maybe I have the wrong set
    up?

    I am hosted with one of the outside Wordpress recommended
    hosts using Wordpress for my blog. My theme is Twenty Ten.

    If someone could help me get the result I am looking for,
    that would help me a lot. Thanks!

      Your code was stripped by WordPress comments. This snippet should work:

      <?php
       $args = array(
          'smallest'                  => 8, 
          'largest'                   => 22,
          'separator'                 => ','
      );  
      wp_tag_cloud($args); 
      ?>

    Hello guys,
    First of all, thanks for this amazing website. I have used this post to create the archive but since yesterday the archive page is no longer working. I have not changed the code and now the only thing I see is By date. after that, I cannot see anything, not even the sidebar or the footer.
    My template is running locally as I am building it. Any idea what could have caused that?

    thanks

    • WPBeginner Support

      seems like a coding error in your template is breaking the template right after it displays your archives by date.

          Meki, we are sorry but we are unable to understand the issue you are facing. As for page.php file you may be using a Theme Framework so your theme may not show a page.php file. Please contact your theme author and ask them which file you should use as the base for your custom page templates.

38. Kelly

    Great tutorial. Could you clarify something before I begin. I’m using a child theme. Should I add the page-archive.php file within the folder of the actual “theme files” or should I place it within the child-theme-folder? Likewise….Now we need to style this list, make it appear inline and improve their look. Add this to your theme’s style.css file. I’m going to assume I can add this within my child-theme as custom css; is that the correct approach?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Yes this is the correct approach.

      the_excerpt will show a short snippet of the posts. the_content is used to display full posts. See this guide Full Post vs Summary (Excerpt) in WordPress Archive pages.
