Order Blog and Archives by Last Updated
Lists posts on the blog page and archives by the date they were last updated instead of the date they were published, so refreshed articles move back to the top.
Snippet Library
Archives snippets for WordPress
Snippets for category, tag, author and date archives: change titles and descriptions, the number of posts per page, ordering and which post types appear. For sites that rely on well-organized archive pages for readers and search engines.
Page Number in Archive Headings
Adds "Page 2 of 7" to archive headings on paginated pages, so visitors and search engines can tell the pages apart.
Post Count in Archive Titles
Adds the number of posts to category, tag, author and date archive headings, for example "Recipes (42)".
Posts per Page for Custom Post Type Archives
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.
Posts per Page on Author and Date Archives
Sets how many posts appear on author and date (year, month, day) archives, independent of the main blog setting.
Posts per Page on Category and Tag Archives
Shows 20 posts on category, tag and custom taxonomy archives without changing the number on the blog page.
Random Order on a Post Type Archive
Shows the entries of selected post types, such as testimonials or team members, in a random order on each visit.
Remove "Category:" and "Tag:" From Archive Titles
Removes the prefix such as "Category:", "Tag:" or "Author:" from archive page titles, leaving only the term or name.
Return 404 for Empty Category and Tag Pages
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.
Run Shortcodes in Category Descriptions
Processes shortcodes in category, tag and taxonomy descriptions shown on archive pages.
Show Category Descriptions on the First Page Only
Hides category, tag and taxonomy descriptions on page 2 and beyond of an archive, so long intro texts are not repeated on every page.
Show Custom Post Types in Year and Month Archives
Makes yearly, monthly and daily archives also list custom post type entries, such as recipes or events, not just blog posts.
Show Only Selected Categories on the Blog Page
Limits the main blog page to posts from the categories you choose, for example only News, while other categories keep their own archives.
Skip Category and Tag Pages With Only One Post
Sends visitors straight to the post when a category or tag archive contains just one post, saving them a pointless extra click.
Sort Menu for Blog and Archive Pages
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.
Sort a Category Archive Alphabetically
Orders posts in chosen categories by title from A to Z, which suits glossaries, directories and recipe indexes.
Sticky Posts First in Category Archives
Puts sticky posts at the top of the category archives they belong to, the same way WordPress already does on the blog page.
Subcategories Use Their Parent Category's Template
Makes subcategories use the parent category's custom template, such as category-news.php or a "category-news" block template, when they do not have their own.
Subcategory Links at the Top of Category Archives
Shows a row of links to the child categories at the top of a category archive, helping visitors drill down into large sections.
Upcoming Events Archive Sorted by Event Date
Orders an events post type archive by the event date stored in a custom field, soonest first, and hides events that have already happened.
Visual Editor for Category and Tag Descriptions
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.
Year Headings in Blog and Archive Lists
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.
