[Resolved] Where do I design the taxonomy term archive?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: How can I change the way a custom taxonomy term archive is displayed?

Solution:
You can redesign these pages using Layouts and WordPress Archives. Go to Toolset > WordPress Archives and create an archive for your taxonomy. Then, use Layouts to design the page where this archive will be displayed. Place your taxonomy archive content by using a WordPress Archive cell in your Layout. In this approach, the archive pages for all terms in the same taxonomy will use the same Layout and design.

I am trying to: change the way my custom taxonomy term archive is being displayed.
I have term taxonomy archives (hidden link , links from my menu - find your sport & in your emirate) but can't find where and how I could change the design/content.

Do I need to do this in php or can I do this with Toolset?
I don't see it in Layouts.

Thanks

Hi, in most cases you can redesign these pages using Layouts and WordPress Archives. Go to Toolset > WordPress Archives and create an archive for your taxonomy. Then, use Layouts to design the page where this archive will be displayed. Place your taxonomy archive content by using a WordPress Archive cell in your Layout. In this approach, the archive pages for all terms in the same taxonomy will use the same Layout and design.

Please let me know if I have misunderstood your request, or if you need additional guidance here. I'll be glad to help. Here are a couple of documents you may find useful:

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply.
I know how to do this though I was looking at editing the archive created per taxonomy term (as you can see on my example @ hidden link).
There is a (system generated?) archive per taxonomy term I can select in my menu which I'd like to edit (add fields and change the design).
I was wondering if I could change that and where.
If not, I'll create archive pages per taxonomy term (I'm not using each taxonomy term in my menu, only a particular level) and place those in my menu.

Ok, I get it, as soon as I create this archive per taxonomy term, it replaces the one I wanted to edit.

All clear, thanks!
