WordPress - Discover What an 'Archive Page' Really Is!

[@adamsasso1]

3 years after you posted this video, and it still helped me! I am now going to scour your channel for more - thank you!

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Great to hear! Thanks. :)

[@robt2151]

A clear and essential explanation of how to initiate an archive page - a basic step that so many other tutorials have skipped over. Thank you for the post and for maintaining it online.

[@buntuscainte4987]

So clear, really top notch tutorial. Only for this tutorial i would never have understood what an archive page is.

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Thanks.

[@endrionmeraj9738]

Hi, this video in 2024. Congratulations, a very clear and easy to understand explanation.

[@mikesaccoia5748]

I agree. So simple, clear, direct. Very personable presentation. I was able to create an archive page easily and quickly using the info here. Thanks so much for posting and your help!

[@JuliaSavory-b4o]

thank you, it was useful and thanks for imagining how a learner might think and then steadily answering the questions... too many YT 'coaches' speak way too fast and don't give you a moment to absorb what's being said. I've subscribed on the back of this video.

[@josephgarcia9076]

This has been so hard to find an answer for on YT and Google. Ive been searching for 4 days ughhhh. My follow up question would be should I have separate archive pages to filter differently staged blogs into?

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

[@coachmarcial5992]

Very useful! Thank you!! I spent 4 hrs trying to get the More block to work, I watched tons of videos and read tons of explanations and they all skipped this important part. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

We thank you for being here.

[@yuenkee95]

I name my page to blogs but it comes up as archive which I don't want. How to change that ?? I am currently using a custom theme as well.

[@isaacross9334]

amazing explanation!

[@BrunoRodrigues-fw9ri]

am I able to do this with a free wordpress account? If not, is the personal or premium paid account better?

[@versusmedia2022]

Do I need to write meta descriptions for this archive page?

[@jackmermigas9465]

Brilliant thank you! just like most things with wordpress, there is one switch to find. But it takes an hour to find it lol! Subscribed :)

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion with us and for subscribe 😉👍 Glad it helped 😊

[@charlottepringle2634]

Hello, thank you for this video! What do I do if I would like my homepage to be my archive page? WP won't let me select the same page for posts and homepage

[@MichelCalvet]

Great! finally I understood!

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Cool. Continue to learning!

[@zishanamin3607]

You nailed all the points. The term 'archive' is confusing because it would appear to mean something backed up and not visible but wordpress uses the term to essentially mean a living catalog. Also, do you create an archive page? No, it is already there. Hardly any other videos touch upon this

[@girishshah8929]

I have become a big fan of yours JP! Love from India! You present things in a friendly conversational style with some humour sprinkled here and there. So much different from those professors delivering a monotonous lecture on youtube!

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Glad to hear that. Thanks a lot 😊

[@adibmula]

incredible tutorial! Took a bit of time to know that the archive page is actually called archive ahahha

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Thanks!

[@Sazman]

Is it possible to do 2 archive pages or multiple archive pages with specific content on each archive page? Can you show how to do that please?

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

You can't have 2 main Archive pages set, you can have only 1 Posts Archive. But you can have multiple Archive pages as Blog Categories. You can go to Posts > Categories, create a couple of categories and allocate some Posts in those categories. Categories pages are considered Archives pages as well. Hope this helps.

[@Phoneixonitsway]

Wow... so is it really so simple? Took me a few hours looking here and there and I could not find where to display my posts! I created a template (archive) for displaying my posts but I could not figure out where on earth my template was applied. After 10 tutorials... here's the answer! People teach how to create a template for your posts but the VERY obvious where this templates go is disregarded.

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Glad to hear that. Thanks a lot 😊

[@enzoscifo81]

Yes, 4 years and still the same in WP... I knew how to do it BUT I always had to take a couple of turns to get there

[@klaasdevries1947]

very clear and useful, thank you so much!

[@eusebiusbob702]

Awesome jp when I was starting out long ago I always tot achieve page was back up of my pages lol I wish they just name it post page or post category lol

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

There are a number of namings that I wish we could change, but they are leftovers from when things were still fresh. Archive sounds like "deleted", right? Cheers!

[@Phoneixonitsway]

Best tutorial!!!

[@brizywebsitebuilder]

Thanks!

[@sergioval2217]

Thanks Mate!

[@age_of_reason]

This Archive page hijacked my Homepage (which I can't get into or edit because of this stupid Archive page). I don't have a blog. I have a business website.

Another great video!

[@hassanalnajjar8881]

keep going >> thx for this content dude

[@Rafael-Bravo]

So an archive page is a type of page that once is assigned (in settings) to a page (that you created) it will display all the posts in that page... and you can have only ONE main one and create several archive pages based in categories... hopefully I got it right cus I'm a little confused Great video btw the best out there

[@samsammy3313]
