Returns a 404 for the author archive of anyone who has never published, such as subscribers and customers, so their usernames and empty profile pages are not exposed.
Rewrites archive headings with your own wording, such as "Articles by Jane" on author pages or "Posts from March 2026" on monthly archives.
Shows a different number of posts on the first page of the blog than on the following pages, for example 3 featured posts up front and 10 per page after that, with pagination still correct.
Redirects author archive pages to the homepage. Good for single-author sites where the author archive duplicates the blog page.
Makes yearly, monthly and daily archive pages return a 404, which avoids thin duplicate pages on most sites.
Redirects tag archive pages to the homepage and removes tags from the XML sitemap, for sites that use tags only internally.
Adds an Edit link under each post on blog, archive and search pages for logged-in users who are allowed to edit that post. Works with classic themes and Query Loop blocks.
Wraps featured images on blog, archive and search pages in a link to the post, for themes that show the image without one. Works with classic themes and the Featured Image block.
Adds "Page 2 of 7" to archive headings on paginated pages, so visitors and search engines can tell the pages apart.
Shows your "not found" page with a 404 status for categories, tags and other terms that have no published posts, instead of an empty archive.
Processes shortcodes in category, tag and taxonomy descriptions shown on archive pages.
Sends visitors straight to the post when a category or tag archive contains just one post, saving them a pointless extra click.
Adds a "Sort by" menu above the blog and archive lists so visitors can switch between newest, oldest, A to Z and most discussed posts.
Inserts a year heading such as "2024" between posts whenever the year changes on blog and archive pages, making long date-ordered lists easier to scan.
