Blog Post Archive Layout not activating
-
We are trying to use your Layouts feature to create a custom blog posts archive page so the page title is cohesive with the rest of the website. However, even with the layout set to ‘Active’, it does not replace the regular Posts Archive page.
The Single Post Layout is fine, it’s just the Archive Layout.
We have used this feature before on multiple sites, so we’re familiar with the process.
There is definitely some sort of glitch.
I’ve attached screenshots.
In the Layouts area, the Type should show ‘Blog’ and the Conditions button should appear. It does not.
Also, in the Layout editor, the bottom shows Custom Fields when it should show ‘Conditions’ again.

Hello,
I have checked your site and created a new Blog Layout, and it is working correctly.
Please check your site and verify the new layout on the blog archive pages. The layout is being applied properly.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Best Regards
Thank you. Yes, this is working now.
Can you please let us know how you fixed this?
Hello,
You’re welcome.
The issue was that the layout conditions were not set for the blog archive layout. Because of this, the layout was active but was not assigned to any archive pages.
The fix was simple: create a Blog Layout and assign the Blog Archive condition to it. Once the condition was set, the layout started applying correctly to the blog archive pages.
Best Regards
That’s odd because I had set those conditions when creating the layout and then weren’t able to adjust them nor did they appear after the layout was created.
There were no other adjustments you made to the theme/code?
Hello,
No, I did not make any changes to the theme files or custom code.
I simply created a new Blog Layout and assigned the appropriate Blog Archive condition to it. After saving the layout, the conditions appeared correctly, and the layout started working as expected on the archive pages.
If you face any issue, share some screenshots for better understanding to reproduce the issue on your site and give you a possible solution.
Best Regards
