Since my site has been online since 2014 the archive list is very long (±72 lines).
I'd like to organize this like this:
2014 - january - february - march - april etc.

I have found a (WPBeginner) tutorial from 2018 that describes this, but as the GeneratePress templates such as archive.php are organized with hooks, I'd assume there must be a newer way. Unfortunately I couldn't find one.

Do you have a simple - hopefully standard - solution?

Thanks, Leon

Hi there,

the template method is ( unfortunately ) the way to go.

Okay, I'll try to create a template. I do see an archive.php template and I'm probably able to upload a new template, but I don't seem to be able to assign templates to pages (like before). Is that perhaps a setting I have to change?

Thank you, Leon

Thanks David, I see the issue is not related to your theme but a general WordPress issue. I'm sure i'll figure it out.
