Thematic Archives.php

September 11, 2014

The Archives.php and Archive.php templates are setup to pull in certain data within their loops, and these can be difficult to adjust. I found the below template for Thematic here and have used this to style main and monthly archive feeds in the past.

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Archives Page
 *
 * This is a custom Page template for displaying an index of Archives.
 * It will display the page content above an unordered list of the different
 * post-type archives nested with an unordered list of thier post-type items.
 *
 * @package Thematic
 * @subpackage Templates
 *
