Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to create an archive page for our Tags and customize it with a Content Template. These tags are under a Custom Post Type.

However, the archive page isn't using the Content Template.

Here's what I've done:
1. Create a Content Template and check Tags. Screenshot: hidden link
2. Create a WordPress Archive for the Tags. This is working.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As I understand - you want to display the archive title on the tags archive you created using Toolset - right?

[StanleyT8485]

Yes, correct.

More importantly, I want it to use the Content Template I have assigned it.

If you want to display the archive title then you need to edit your archive and add the archive title there.

Do you mean the theme archive?

How about using Content Template to update the archive page? Can we do that?

[Minesh]

How you are building the archive? Using Blocks or classic mode?

Toolset has separate menu to create archive Toolset => WordPress Archives from there you can create a new archive.

You can create a content template and add it within the archive loop but you can not directly assign content template to archive.

I am using Classic mode to build the archive.

"You can create a content template and add it within the archive loop but you can not directly assign content template to archive."

I see. I thought I would be able to assign an archive to a content template because Toolset was giving me that option. Screenshot: hidden link

I have three questions:

1. How can I show the Tag title into the archive without the "Tag" in front of the title? For example, Tag: Biology. I am using [wpv-archive-title] in the Views.

2. How can I show the Tag description? I have tried both [wpv-post-taxonomy type="sc_tag" format="description"] and [wpv-post-taxonomy type="post_tag" format="description"] and both doesn't show anything.

3. The Content Template I'm putting into the Views archive is not showing up. Screenshot: hidden link

What plugin version you are using? It looks like that content templates are part of the archive's loop.
