[Resolved] Question on creating an archive template?

[Henry]

This question might be a little out of scope for this support, but here goes..

So, for a variety of reasons I’d rather hide the loop of some Custom Taxonomy I have in my GeneratePress install.

My question is twofold…

1. My Custom Taxonomy is called “countries” so am I correct in thinking that I can create a template called category-countries/php, and place that in a child folder and copy/paste over the category.php code minus the loop bit and I’m all good?

2. What would you advise to do to remove the archive post loop?

I still need the URL of the Custom Taxonomy and will place content on that page.

Hope that makes sense and any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi there,

That’s exactly what you would do. Doing so should take care of #2 automatically.

We’ve introduced a hook and filter which allow for the same thing in 2.5.0 so the template isn’t necessary 🙂

Thanks Tom, so I should wait for 2.5.0 right? Do you know ETA for that?

[Tom]

You can definitely go the template route – nothing wrong with that.

Hoping to get an alpha for 2.5.0 before the end of the month.
