@amit I am finding that the checkbox for “Hide category list on Archive page” in Paper’s settings is not working. I’ve just noticed it. I had it selected, so I tried to de-select it and back again after a short pause, but no difference. I was going to create a custom template to ‘flip’ the setting, but realized that I did not know what to do.

@crossingthethreshold that’s odd. Because I do have it disabled on my site and it shows the categories. Did you try a rebuild after turning it off?

@amit I didn’t try a rebuild. I shall do.

@amit Rebuilding didn’t change anything.

@crossingthethreshold I can see categories on your site?

@JohnPhilpin Yes and you shouldn’t be able to. @amit included a setting in the Paper theme that allows you to turn off being able to see categories on the Archive page.

@crossingthethreshold aah - wrong way round - got it.

@crossingthethreshold Something for sure is weird with the archive pages. Even my customizations with the archive page have been overridden. Basically irrespective of whether theme provides the page, it is loading one from default. This looks to be a similar issue with @pratik and @gaby.

Any idea @manton? Has anything changed?

@amit Thank you for your detective work. Here’s hoping that @manton can through some light on this.

@crossingthethreshold @amit Sorry, something did change and I had meant to automatically adapt plug-ins and must’ve missed it. The Archive and Photos pages now store their layout in the “layouts/_default” folder. If you move the template there, let me know if that fixes it. (I’ll be adding some code to move templates automatically in the future.)

@manton How can we fix this at our end? Currently, @amit’s theme that @crossingthethreshold and I use have the archive template at layouts/list.archivehtml.html(I think).

@manton I suppose this is related: A day or two ago I noticed that my Archive and Photos pages were blank. The pages showed up but with no content. Was using Tufte. I switched to a different theme for the time being. It’s not affecting the Lanyon theme. @pimoore: When I visit your site I do not see content on your Archive page, so it’s affecting Tufte. I thought it was just me for some reason. @pratik @amit

@pratik @manton I’m throwing my hat (and site) into this particular question. My archive template is located there, as well. I’m using a custom version of the Kiko theme.

@dandycat @pratik Copy your template to the new location: “layouts/_default/list.archivehtml.html” (note the “_default” in the path that’s new). I’ll be migrating everything automatically soon, but you can copy/paste your own template in the meantime.

@manton @dandycat Thanks. That worked.

@pimoore I’ve finished the change and it’ll apply to all themes and plug-ins.

@pimoore Yes, it’ll take affect next time you post or change something. Shoot me an email if it’s not working.

@manton Does mean that the question that I posted at the top of this conversation re. Paper theme’s setting of not showing categories on the Archive page will now work? It seems to be, but I wanted to make sure that nothing else is going on or if I have to do something. // @amit

@crossingthethreshold it should work now. Don’t think you need to do anything.

@amit After a day sitting with the changes, and also moving my podcast over to the the Paper theme, I can confirm that it is working as expected. Thank you.

@manton Just to confirm, should I apply the fix to the theme? I mean move the Archive page to _default folder? Or with your change, there’s no need for that?

@amit No need, but I would suggest moving it when you have time.
