Hi there

There is an option to output the results in a table format (screenshot), but there is no support for outputting the table with sortable column headers I'm afraid.

Im getting the following error when I try to create a view on archive page

Hello,

For the new issue: Im getting the following error when I try to create a view on archive page

As the message mentioned in your screenshot, you can not setup the nested view block in Archive loop.

But it is possible with classic view, for example:
1) Follow our document to enable legacy editor
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/enabling-legacy-version-of-toolset-views/

2) Dashboard-> Toolset -> Views, create the child post view manually

3) In your screenshot
https://toolset.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2492175-2022_11_08_9_51_33.png
WordPress Archive loop, add a view block-> Use existing View, choose the post view of step 2), see my screenshot view2.jpg

There is no path
Dashboard-> Toolset -> Views

I activated legacy
still same issue
can you please check?

I even created a new page and tested on it.
Because I don't have the option table with header when doing archive page.
This is really confusing

First, there isn't "table with header" option in Toolset WordPress Archive(blocks editor or legacy editor).

My above answer is talking about your new issue: getting the following error when I try to create a view on archive page

You can setup the child post view with legacy editor, and display it in the Toolset WordPress Archive loop.

The message you mentioned in screenshot:
hidden link
It means you can not preview the child view block in the block's editor, but you can see the results in frontend.

Hope it is clear.

I still dont understand what you mean.
Can you set it up for me on my site or as a demo?
maybe by seeing it I'll understand.
Not sure what child post you are talking about.

Thanks

Ok I succeeded to set up the table.

Here's my new questions
1 - how do I remove the post title column?
2 - how do I activate the search fields for the view?

3 - how do I style the search fields?

I do not see the same controls mentioned in this article

I was able to finally get the page going.

How do I do the following
1 - design search like the one I did in archive loop (see image)
2 - align header titles (they look off a bit
3 - change read more text (maybe change it to a button)
4 - add sort

Here's my page URL

Here are my settings
