Archive layout as a page

Support
#1

Apologies if this has been asked before. I spent some time searching but couldn’t find the answer.

I have a number of blog posts tagged under various WordPress Categories. I want to have the main Blog page show all articles (standard archive layout - no problem there). But under the Blog menu I need to have a series of child pages which are, in effect, archive index pages of articles with a common Category.

For example, the Blog page would show posts about cats, dogs, and horses. But under the blog top-level menu would be 3 child menus “Cats”, “Dogs” and “Horses” which would show a list of all blog posts identified under those categories. If a post was tagged as both “Cats” and “Horses”, it would appear in both child pages.

Is that possible?

Hello @KEXINO,

Thanks for writing to us.

In case you want to display the post category on the navigation menu, I would suggest you go to the WordPress dashboard -> Appearance ->Menu->Add the blog post category

In case you want to display the category list in the archive layout, I would suggest you please add the Term element, which will list all the categories. Please have a look at this doc to learn more about how to display the category.

Hope it helps
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

If I do as you explain, will the layout be as per the Blog Index page, or can I set it to be another layout?

Hello @KEXINO,

If you have set the archive layout so you don’t need to create another layout for the archive pages, the archive layout will be rendered to all the category archive pages.

Hope it helps
Thanks
