Archive (All posts) Page

To add Archive Page:

To add an Archive Page to your publication, you'll need to modify your routes.yaml file due to the nature of Ghost's routing system.

If you've previously modified your routes.yaml

If you've previously modified your routes.yaml file for any reason, you only need to incorporate the following lines to add an Archive Page to your publication. This ensures you keep your custom configurations while enabling the archive functionality.

Here's a quick guide:

2. Under the Labs section, find and click on the Download current routes button to upload your current routes.yaml file.

4. Add the following lines to your routes.yaml file:

   routes:

       controller: channel
       filter: tag:-hash-case
       template: index
     /archive/:
       controller: channel
       template: archive
       data: page.archive
       filter: tag:-hash-case
     /cases/:
       controller: channel
       template: custom-cases
       data: page.cases
       filter: tag:hash-case
   collections:
     /:
       permalink: /{slug}/
       template: index
   taxonomies:
     tag: /tag/{slug}/
     author: /author/{slug}/
