Wix Blog: Adding and Customizing an Archive Menu

2 min
Adding an archive menu to your blog is a great way to show older content that has been 'archived' or stored away in a blog. You can see how many posts have been archived and when they were archived. Archiving is very helpful with seasonal posts that are less topical and also with posts that have outdated information in them, like information on product sales etc.  

To add and customize an archive menu:

  1. Go to the page you want the feed to appear on.
  2. Click the Add icon  in the left panel of your Editor. 
  3. Click Blog.
  4. Select the Archive Menu element. 
  5. Drag it to position it on the page.
  6. Click the element in your Editor.
  7. Click Settings.
  8. Click the Display tab to customize the archive menu display:
9. Click the Layout tab to customize the category layout:
10. Click the Design tab to customize the design:
Note:
The archive results page uses the category page settings. You can customize the archive page by changing the archive feed settings.
