Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How to create an archive page.

In Atahualpa you can specify, in the theme options, a page ID to display the archive content on.

I am having trouble as to how exactly you would do that same thing in Montezuma. Do you have to code your own archive page template?

If so, I have absolutely so idea how to start on something like that.

Thank you for the help! I am sure this is a dumb question, just not familiar with how this theme works yet.

create a new main template called archive.php and copy the index.php template to it. Edit it to your liking

it's good to know how the WordPress Template Hierarchy works (do a google search)

With the limited coding available in the theme, I don't see a token to bring in the archive pages. Do you have any ability to bring in the archive page list?

Take a look at the 'Main Templates' section of the theme and read the on screen documentation.

I understand how the templates work. I am just not sure how to code an archive page with the limited PHP in Montezuma. Is there any documentations or guide how to code that kind of a page, like Atahualpa does automatically?

I very new to this theme and I have a team waiting on a project over this one issue. I really appreciate your continued help about this.

Maybe I am being too vague.

These are the steps I have completed so far:

-Added a main template named "archive.php" made from a copy of the main template "index.php"
-Assigned that template to a page called "Archive"
-Checked the page on the front end and there was nothing on the page other than the title

Have I done something wrong while doing these steps?
