Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to customize a custom taxonomy archive page. I have created a block editor to edit the loop look and feel, which is good.
I also want to customize outside the loop. E.g I want to show (outside loop in the header section) Taxonomy term title, description and 2 custom field that I created in the taxonomy. I also want to create few views which needs to go in the same header section as a tabbed link

An example
hidden link

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please share screenshot of your edit archive page so I can see how you configured your taxonomy archive.

The thing is that, using Toolset blocks you can format the archive loop. Not the archive full content like headers/footers/sidebars.

I see you created taxonomy archive for authors and whatever additional information you want to add outside the loop, you should add it just before the <wpv-loop> shortcode of Loop Editor section.

Do you mean that you wanted to display tabs where different tabs holds different content?

#1338697

yes, different tabs hold different content filtered by current taxonomy.
Loop editor screen can have header content, but then it would be duplicated.
e.g hidden link author term page has author name and description already outputted on the page, And I want to control this via toolset as well.

So, do you mean that you want to hide the author name and description already outputted on the theme and wanted to add it to your archive output? If yes, what theme you are using?

Could you please send me debug information that will help us to investigate your issue.

The thing is that there is no way to control theme options using which you can hide the archive title and description that is coming from theme.

You can control such thee options if you are using one of the recommended themes and you created the archive Layout that is created using Layouts plugin:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/

So, for now the only way is to hide those by adding custom CSS.

ok, so if I use recomended theme, would i be able to control taxonomy archive pages?
And what theme would you prefer from recomended theme.

You should make a choice that what theme you want to use.

For instance - lets assume you chose astra theme, see how you can control the available theme options:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/using-toolset-with-astra-theme/#controlling-astras-theme-options-for-templates-and-archives

Please note that if you will use recommended theme with Layout, you need to keep the following limitation in mind in respect to using Blocks:
