How can i use a different base.php for my post archive? I know how to do it with normale pages. Like base-template-test.php for template-test.php. But how do i do it with my archive?
You need to create base-archive.php and archive.php.
Not working.
I copy contents of base.php into base-archive.php (with a test-h1)
I copy contents of index.php into archive.php
Anything else?
@slobich’s instructions should yield the results you want.
At this point, make sure you’re viewing an actual query that will result in the archive template being used. Click on a post tag or category.
Also make sure that your test h1 is inside the <body> tag!
Yea i checked its still taking index.php and not archive.php. I have selected a page “News” as my posts-site in the general settings dialogue. I guess thats not actually taking archive.php into account? How do i link to an post-archive site? I am confused now…
“Archive” generally refers to a category, tag, author, or date archive. As I said, add a category to your posts and if it’s displayed on the frontend then when clicked it will take you to a page using an archive template.
Okay i got it working via a category archive.
The questions is how can you change the template of the default post-site (thats set via the admin-panel…)?
Ahh, you’re referring to the blog page or home page or your page of posts.
For that you will need to create home.php and base-home.php.
YES! I roughly translated from the german admin panel. Lost in translation i guess…
Thank you!
You’re welcome, glad we got it sorted.
