Custom Archive Pages

You can also create custom archive pages combining page template and shortcodes.
Let’s see an example:

In this case, we used a blog grid template.

Then we hide the default header at the bottom of the page.

The last thing, we used shortcodes to customize our archive page.

Quick Note: You customizations will appear only on the first page of the archive.
