How do I create a product archives site part?

A product archives template lets you create a standardized way to display groups or categories of products.

These product archive templates are site parts and can be found by navigating to Templates>Theme Builder from the WordPress dashboard and selecting Product Archive. Here you have quick access to add, edit, or delete any product archive template.

Note: A product archives template is meant to apply a design to the page using dynamic information and not by adding content directly to the template.

If no products archive templates have been created yet, you need to create one. Click Add New in the upper right corner of the Products Archive Site Part screen.

Once you’ve created at least one Products Archive Template, you will be able to manage them here.

Edit An Existing Products Archive’s Design

  1. To edit an existing Products Archive Template, click the Products Archive label in the sidebar. This will open the Products Archive Template’s details dashboard.
  2. Click the Edit link in the upper right corner of the specific Products Archive Template you wish to edit. This will open the Elementor editor for that Products Archive Template.

Edit An Existing Products Archive’s Conditions

  1. Click the Edit Conditions link in the bottom left corner of the Products Archive Template you wish to edit. This will directly open the Display Conditions editor for that Products Archive Template.

Note: The Dot Display in the upper left corner of the Products Archive indicates which site parts are live (has Display Conditions assigned to it), and which are merely drafts (no Display Conditions have been assigned). A Green Dot indicates a live Products Archive Template, while a Gray Dot indicates a draft Products Archive Template. 

Note: The Instances label in the lower left corner of the Products Archive displays the specific instances in which this template is being used on the site.
