Blocksy lets you copy archive Customiser settings between supported post types and archive views. This is particularly useful when several content types should share the same layout, title configuration, post cards or pagination settings.
The option-copying functionality is available through the Post Types Extra extension.
Quick Look
Copying Archive Options
Start by configuring the archive that already has the settings you want to reuse. You can then copy all or part of that configuration into another supported archive.
- Configure the archive that you want to use as the source.
- Open the archive panel for the post type you want to update in the Customiser.
- Open the three-dot menu at the top of the panel.
- Select Copy Options.
- Choose which group of settings you want to copy.
- Select the archive that should be used as the source, then complete the copy operation.
Granular Controls
Options to Copy
The first section determines which part of the source archive configuration will be transferred to the currently selected target archive.
- All Options – copies the complete archive configuration.
- Page Title – copies the archive title and hero configuration.
- Posts Listing – copies the settings that control the post listing, including its structure and card configuration.
- Pagination – copies only the archive pagination settings.
Source
The Source setting determines which existing archive configuration Blocksy should copy from. The available choices depend on the post types registered on your website.
- Post Type Archive – copy settings from the archive of another available post type.
- Categories – use the category archive configuration as the source.
- Author – use the author archive configuration as the source.
- Search – use the search results archive configuration as the source.
This makes it possible to establish one archive design and quickly reuse it across multiple post types without manually recreating the same Customiser configuration each time.
