Customize Your Archives By Mapping Them to Pages

WordPress doesn’t make it easy to customize your archive page. With Archive Pages Pro, you can map archives to pages, providing immense flexibility and customization for your archives.

With support for custom post types, terms, and authors, you have full control over what goes on your archive pages.

Managing and customizing archive pages in WordPress can be a complex and rigid process

Traditional archives don’t allow editing because they are endpoints, not pages. These include custom post type archives, term archives, and author archives.
