Creating an archive posts page

Hi Sheona,

Could you share a link to your archive page so we can have a look?

Hi,

No because I don’t have one! I’m asking how to make one. I have a normal blog page/roll here: https://www.shospace.co.uk/notebook/

But after 10 years, it now has so many entries I want to make a separate page with links to separate categories, or highlights of a particular subject. Like a contents page where you can navigate to different subjects.

If I can’t do that easily, then my next-best idea was to ask how I might have the equivalent of a categories widget at the top of the blog roll (sidebar widgets are not good for looking at the website on a phone).

Thanks,
Sheona

Can anyone help here?

Very grateful for advice,

Sheona

@sheona have you considered using category links? Basically you’d set up a custom menu with category links. There’s a how-to here, though it might be slightly different for your installation:

You could also consider using a block that shows posts from a category. Depending on how many posts you have, this may do:

Latest Posts Block

@supernovia Thanks so much! That’s been a brilliant help, and got me sent off in the right direction.

Just the job!

I’m glad to hear that helped. Cheers!
