# How to Create Category Archive Page for Blog Post in WordPress?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Post Listing block automatically pulls posts from the current archive context, so the same template works across all categories without extra configuration.
- Nexter Builder creates the category archive page template, and the Post Listing block is set to Archive Page with Posts selected from the Select Post Type dropdown.
- Dynamic Content in Nexter Blocks pulls author name, publish date, and category labels into any block automatically, and the same settings also work on a tag archive template.

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.

*To check the complete feature overview documentation of the Nexter Blocks Post Listing block, [click here](/docs/post-listing-block-settings-overview/).*

**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](https://nexterwp.com).

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](https://nexterwp.com/docs/how-to-add-dynamic-content-in-wordpress/) lets you pull that data into any block automatically.

> *Note: Make sure to use other *[*archive related blocks*](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/builder/wordpress-blog-builder/)* 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.*
