@shep I haven’t looked closely yet, but I have a feeling your custom theme is overriding any layouts in plug-ins. If you have a custom theme on GitHub, the best way is actually to install it as a theme plug-in, and then set the custom theme on Design to “None”. Click on Design → Edit Themes → “New Plug-in” to install it from a GitHub URL. Sorry this is confusing!

@manton Yep, did that, sort of. I removed the custom theme and then submitted my theme to the plugin directory and installed it that way. So now I’m using None under custom theme and my theme (Cobalt in plugins) is active.

@manton the weird thing is, I’m also pretty sure my theme does have an archive template (list.archivehtml.html) but it doesn’t even seem to be displaying that one.

@shep Great! That’s ideal if you don’t mind sharing it with other people, actually, because then Micro.blog will routinely check GitHub for new versions and offer to upgrade. If you want a private theme, you can instead install it via the “Edit Themes” → “New Plug-in” flow.

@manton yep, the only thing I need to figure out is the Archive thing and I think I’m good to go. Probably need some styling improvements as well, but that will come later. Any help you can provide on the Archive thing would be appreciated.

@manton actually, I figured it out. Archive file was in the wrong folder.
