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.
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 tag archive pages to the homepage and removes tags from the XML sitemap, for sites that use tags only internally.
Hides posts in chosen categories from the main blog page. The posts remain visible in their own category archive.
Keeps the posts you list off the main blog page and its pagination while they stay reachable through their own URL, categories and search.
Mixes entries from a custom post type into the main blog page and feed alongside regular posts.
Adds an "Archive intros" section to Settings > Reading where you can write an introduction for each custom post type archive, such as Portfolio or Recipes, shown at the top of that archive.
Inserts a newsletter sign-up box after the third post on the blog page, archives and search results, where browsing readers will see it.
Adds the number of posts to category, tag, author and date archive headings, for example "Recipes (42)".
Sets how many entries each custom post type archive shows, separately from the blog setting, for example 12 portfolio items or every testimonial on one page.
Shows 20 posts on category, tag and custom taxonomy archives without changing the number on the blog page.
Removes the prefix such as "Category:", "Tag:" or "Author:" from archive page titles, leaving only the term or name.
Processes shortcodes in category, tag and taxonomy descriptions shown on archive pages.
Hides category, tag and taxonomy descriptions on page 2 and beyond of an archive, so long intro texts are not repeated on every page.
Limits the main blog page to posts from the categories you choose, for example only News, while other categories keep their own archives.
Sends visitors straight to the post when a category or tag archive contains just one post, saving them a pointless extra click.
Orders posts in chosen categories by title from A to Z, which suits glossaries, directories and recipe indexes.
Replaces the plain description box on the category and tag edit screens with the visual editor, and keeps headings, lists, images and links that WordPress would otherwise strip.
