Hi there,
Yes that still works. And I think it’s the best option as it’s really simple.
But assuming you don’t mind if the archive page is coming a static page or an actual WP default archive page, I’d consider this:
Users from the previous topics (on both WPSP and GP forums) have different ways of doing this.
On GP side, some use generate_has_default_loop
filter to remove their default loop and add in WPSP post loops.
Some users use a child theme and use wpsp_display()
to replace their query on their child theme template for archive pages.
Some users do it which the one you’ve link. (making static pages as archive pages)
I don’t think any of them are better option than the other.
While child theming is significantly more tedious work, this gives you more control if you want a more customized styling for the entire page.
The filtering(generate_has_default_loop
) of loops only replace the loop part but the other parts of the page is basically the same. (it’s still the default archive page)
