Categories show Archive page instead of Categories

    I’m having an issue where categories are showing up as the “Archives” page on my site and I’m not sure why. It’s almost as if the “Categories” are using the Archives template. Is there anyway I can fix it so that when I click the categories it shows all posts within that category and not the archives page?

    Hi Alabaster_Raven,

    If you don’t have a category.php , a category-slug.php or category-id.php, WordPress will use archive.php to render a category page.

    My guess is that your archive.php template is customized to display as it currently is.

    If that’s the case, you might consider trying this:

    1. backup your theme
    2. copy index.php to category.php
    3. reload a category page and see what happens.

    Refer to Template Heirarchy for more info on which templates WP uses to render requested content.
