jz rev 10 post archive template.jpg

When a new post is created, I understand that WordPress will automatically create an archive based on the Archive Content Template that I created.

1. Aside from the Post Featured Image and the Post Link (which will hopefully link to the source post), if I added other fields to the Archive Content Template such as a Text Module which would contain the WYSIWYG grid and text shown in the attached screenshot (which is identical to the Text Module container section of the post Template), can I display the relevant content in the blank fields by inserting the Taxonomy shortcode for each space in the Divi Tect Module as per the original content that was added during the creation or content update of the source Post?

2. If the above is possible, in that case when the content of a post is edited, will the Archive update automatically as well?

The attached screenshot is the Text editor view of the Text Module for the previous screenshot container display.

The idea was to insert the " insert-relevant-shortcode" for each blank grid row. If the content were added or created to the source post template would the same relevant data automatically post and update the Archive as well?

Hi Charles,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Yes that is correct as long as the relevant shortcode is added to the content template then whenever you update or add a new post the appropriate information will be displayed.

Please let me know if this clears things up for you.

Thanks,
Shane

A simple clarification, the Archive for the Post will update automatically?

Hi Charles,

You mean that if you add a new post that archive will automatically get that new post added?

If this is the question then yes it will.

Thanks,
Shane

No, not created but when a post is edited and the content is updated. In this case, would the Archive for the post update automatically as well?
