Applying Elements to CPT archive does not replicate the archive layout

Hi there,
I'm working with the Explore theme. I've created some custom post types, with their own custom taxonomies and archives. But even after applying the elements from this category archive page, I cannot get the same cards and side-by-side layout on my site.
On my CPT archive page, I have the following elements, which are the same elements used by the default category archives:
-
Archive Hero
Archive Cards
Archive Navigation
Footer
Mobile Menu Icons.
You can see the current layout in the private information area.
What am I missing here to get the exact same layout as this page?
Hi there,
Is the Archive cards element applied to the CPT achieve a loop template or a content template?
It should be a loop template based on the Travel tips archive page, but on your CPT achieve page, it's using a block element - content template.
let me know!
Hi @Ying!
Thanks for your reply. Hmm, looking at the Elements in the backend, I do see that the Archive cards are of the type "Block - Content Template".
When I change it to be a "Block - Loop Template" I see it's misconfigured. I must have done something to break the Element's layout, query loop, etc, because I just installed the default Explore theme on a test site and everything is totally different for this Element.
What do you recommend here? I copied the code from the test site over to a new Element (I named it "Archive Cards-2") on the site I'm working on, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Would that be enough? Or if there's a way to export an Element and import it into a new site, that sounds like an even better solution.
Thanks!
Hi Rafael,
What you did - copying and pasting - should be good.
