If you run a blog with multiple categories, having a category archive page helps your readers find relevant content quickly. A category archive page displays all blog posts from a specific category in a well-organised list, improving user navigation and helping search engines index your content by topic.
In the WordPress Block editor, you can create a category archive page using the Post Listing block from Nexter Blocks. The Post Listing block automatically pulls posts from the current archive context, so the same template works across all your categories without any extra configuration.

Requirement – This block is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
Best Used For:
- Blogs with multiple topic categories that want readers to browse posts by subject
- News sites that need automatically updating category feeds without manual curation
- Portfolio sites displaying projects grouped by type, industry, or client
To create the category archive page template, use the free Nexter Builder.
Once you have created the archive template, add the Post Listing block to the template and select Archive Page from the Post Listing Types section.
From the Select Post Type dropdown, select Posts.
Then select the appropriate style and layout from the Style and Layout sections.
You should now see blog posts from specific categories displayed on their respective archive pages. To display additional post details such as author name, publish date, and category labels on the page, the Dynamic Content feature in Nexter Blocks lets you pull that data into any block automatically.
Note: Make sure to use other archive related blocks to ensure that your page content is displayed correctly.
You can fine-tune the settings and style from the other available options.
Note: You can use the same settings on a tag archive template to create a tag archive listing page.
