How to Query Loop for Archive, Tag pages
4 replies · Started by Ashia on January 22, 2023
HI,
I want to edit my archive pages and tag pages, I am using GPP and GBP.
I am able to edit the front page with Block - Loop template and the post page using Block - Content Template But I do not know how to edit the Category and tag pages.
What blocks and elements do I need to select for this?
Hi there,
in Block Element, you can set the Display Rules > Locations to include: Category Archive -> All Categories & Tag Archives -> All Tats OR you can include ALL Archives
Then you choose if you want to build:
a. Content Template to design the individual post article and leave the theme to handle the columns etc.
b. Loop Element to design the entire loop using a Query Loop Block, which will require its Parameters -> Inherit Query from template enabled. By setting that option, you can create ONE loop block template for ALL archives and the Query Loop will use the necessary query.
Hi David,
I have created an Element, the following are the settings...
Type: Block - Loop template
Location: Post Category Archive, All Archive
Users: All
In the Block - Loop template, I created Query Loop with good design with dynamic featured image, Headline etc.
1.When Inherit Query - Enabled, after save, Categories showing blank
.
2.When Inherit Query - Disabled > POST TYPE: post > ADD PARAMETER > TAXONOMIES: Categories > SELECT TERM: Current post term, After Save categories showing Blank.
2.when inherit Query - Disabled > POST TYPE: post > ADD PARAMETER > TAXONOMIES: Categories > SELECT TERM: Selected specific Category, After saved and visiting category page, its showing the Query loop, but in every category its showing same which I selected.
How to make it dynamic. so in every category it ll show its available posts.
Ok its started working Enabling Inherit Query.
Thanks David.
Glad to hear that!
