Don’t laugh at me, I have been taken 2 or 3 day’s time to learn how to create archives using smart archive wordpress plugin last time, this is because I don’t know how to create page template at that time. Now, I told you how to create archives using smart archives wordpress plugin in 5 minutes.

Download Smart Archives Wordpress plugin

1. Download Smart Archives plugin
2. Upload this plugin into your wp-content/plugins directory
3. Activate this plugin through your Wordpress Administration panel

How to Create Page Template for Smart Archives

1. Open your theme folder and find page.php
2. Duplicate page.php and rename it (i.e. page-archives.php)
3. Open page-archives.php (the file that you duplicated just now)
4. Add the following coding at the top of the page (before )

<?php
/*
Template Name: page-archives
*/
?>

5. Upload page-archives.php to your selected theme folder
6. Create new page
7. At the right hand side of the “write page” page, can you see Page Template?

8. From there you can select “page-archives” (the page-archives.php that you upload just now)
9. Save it and give a page name like “Smart Archives” (Don’t use “Archives” as page name, it doesn’t work for me last time)
