ArchivesPress: Index Blocks for WordPress

ArchivesPress helps visitors browse your website through indexes that link to archive pages. Add an index to a page or post using a block, a shortcode, or an Elementor widget.

Choose from three types of index:

• Dates: Organize published content by year, month, and day.
• Authors: List authors with published content, with optional avatars and post counts.
• Terms: List categories, tags, or terms from another public taxonomy, with optional post counts.

Each index can use a basic or compact layout. Depending on the index, you can choose a public post type, change the order, show or hide counts, and customize its appearance. Layouts adapt to smaller screens and support right-to-left languages.

Blocks

In the WordPress block editor, find these blocks in the ArchivesPress category:

• Dates Archives Index
• Authors Archives Index
• Terms Archives Index

Select a block to configure it in the block settings sidebar.

Elementor Widgets

With Elementor 3.1 or newer active, the same three indexes are available as widgets in the ArchivesPress category. Use the widget’s Content tab to choose its data and layout, and the Style tab to adjust typography, colors, padding, and borders.

Shortcodes

Use these shortcodes in content that supports WordPress shortcodes:

• Dates: [archivespress-dates]
• Authors: [archivespress-authors]
• Terms: [archivespress-terms]

Shortcode attributes control the data, layout, and styling. For available attributes and examples, visit the ArchivesPress knowledge base .
