How to Create a Blog Archive Page

The Frontis Theme allows you to create a blog archive page using WordPress’s built-in block system. This enables you to display all your blog posts in a structured format, with or without a sidebar.

Follow these steps to create a Blog Archive Page in the Frontis Theme.

Create a Blog Archive Page

 

  1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Pages → Add New.
  3. Enter a title for the page, such as Blog or Archive.

Assign a Blog Template

 

  1. Click Edit to open the page in the Block Editor.
  2. On the right-side settings panel, locate the Template option.
  3. Click on Swap Template, which will open a pop-up with available templates.
  4. Find and select one of the following:
    • Blog Template (Default archive layout)
    • Blog Left Sidebar (Archive page with a sidebar on the left)
    • Blog Right Sidebar (Archive page with a sidebar on the right)

Customize the Blog Archive Layout

Once you’ve selected a template, you can modify the layout:

✔ Adjust post display settings (grid or list view)
✔ Modify typography, spacing, and colors
✔ Add or remove sections (e.g., remove post metadata, featured images, etc.)                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ✔ You can add a search option by clicking the + icon and dragging it to where you want it to appear.
✔ Customize sidebar widgets if you chose a sidebar layout

To make these changes, go to Appearance → Editor → Templates and edit the Blog Archive Template, just like you would for a single blog post.

Step 4: Save and Set as Blog Archive

  1. Click Publish to save the new blog page.
  2. If WordPress is not automatically using this page as the blog archive:
    • Go to Settings → Reading.
    • Under Your Homepage Displays, select A Static Page.
    • Choose the newly created Blog page as the Posts Page.
    • Click Save Changes.
