How do I add a custom layout for empty archive

Hi there,

when you say an empty archive ? how is it empty ?

I mean there are no posts related to that specific archive

So, when there is nothing in archive, how do I display a random message or anything else such as "currently there no posts to display in this archive/category."

Hi there,

You can create a block element - loop template at appearacne > elements.

Add the content you want to show for the no result archive page.

Set the location to all archives or category archives according to your needs, then publish the element.

Add this PHP snippet so the element will only work when the archive has no posts, replace 100 with your element id which can be found in the URL of the element editor:

add_filter( 'generate_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
    if ( 100 === $element_id &&  have_posts() ) {
        $display = false;
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );
