How do I create an archive/category page in Brizy Cloud?

I'm using Brizy cloud to build a blog. At the bottom of my blog posts I include the blog category with a hyperlink to the category page. I want to style the category pages globally so each category link auto populates the pages with category posts. I can't figure out how to do it. In Brizy Wordpress there is an archive plugin, but that's missing in Brizy cloud. Can you point me in the right direction? I couldn't find an answer in the help docs or youtube channel.

  Hi Nick,

  To add a list of blog posts within a category archive template, please drag the Posts element to the page and make these selections

  • Source: Current Query
  • Query Source: Posts

  When you make these selections in the Posts element, it will behave like the Archive element in Brizy WordPress.

  Thank you, that solution worked for the standard blog posts. But I created a custom asset for "podcast" episodes and added a category field (see images attached. Even when I assign the "Podcast" category to a podcast post, the category pages for "Podcasts" doesn't list anything.

  Hi Nick,

  For creating a category archive template for Podcasts, in the Filter tab of the Posts element, please select

  • Source: Current Query
  • Query Source: Podcasts

  Thank you, that worked. I'm beginning to understand how this all fits together now. 
  
  So the "query source" refers to the custom field Podcasts, not the category "Podcasts"?

  Yes Nick; the Query Source refers to the Custom Asset and not its taxonomy
