Problem: I am not able to use the Block Editor to create a WordPress Archive.
Solution: Check your editing experience settings in Toolset > Settings > General to ensure the Block Editor is active for archives.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Create custom archive page for posts that contain search within that category.
I don't see any of options needed. Seems to me to work in some simple version of editor?!
I don't see WordPress Archive block and similar blocks at all. No options to add search or anything...
Is there any documentation that you are following?

expected to see

Is there a similar example that we can see?
I have uploaded an image. Because this is an admin thing.
What is the link to your site?

Hi, the screenshot you provided looks like a Content Template editor, created in Toolset > Content Templates. Instead of going to Toolset > Content Templates, you can go to Toolset > WordPress Archives to create archives with custom search. Or from the Toolset Dashboard, you can click the "Create Archive" button next to any of the post types you created with Toolset. That should create the proper WordPress Archive and give you the ability to edit it in the Block Editor, add custom search fields, design the results loop, and so on. Please let me know if you have questions about that, or if it's not working as expected.
Maybe the archive editor is still set to use the legacy editor experience...if you go to Toolset > Settings > General tab, can you take a screenshot showing your editor settings as in this screenshot example?
