This can range from media categorized by different bands they perform with, to different kinds of music, or even different types of performances. We\u2019re often asked for advice on how to best present multiple kinds of content in a way that makes sense to site visitors. Utilizing archive menus is one of the easiest and most intuitive ways to organize a site\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In this post we\u2019ll cover what archive menus are, which of our themes have them, some possible uses, and how to configure them.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are archives and archive menus?<\/h2>\n<p>Archives are the overview pages that contain AudioTheme\u2019s specific post types: gigs, discography, and videos. They\u2019re configured to automatically update anytime you add a new gig, record, or video to your site, which makes content management significantly easier. We\u2019ve covered <a href=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/blog\/customizing-your-gig-archives\/\u201d\">customizations to the gig archive<\/a> in the past, but haven\u2019t really touched on the other two. If you have questions on how the archives work, I\u2019d recommend taking a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/support\/audiotheme\/archive-setup\/\">this support article<\/a> before we get started.<\/p>\n<p>Archive menus are built into most of our themes. They allow you to display a separate, special menu on certain archive pages. You can see them in action on some of our <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/popbelly\/\">demos<\/a>. Utilizing these menus can help sort and organize content for your gigs, videos, and discography.<\/p>\n<h2>Which themes have archive menus built in?<\/h2>\n<p>You can find archive menus in the following themes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/popbelly\/\">Popbelly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/hammer\/\">Hammer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/marquee\">Marquee<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/merchato\">Merchato<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/nowell\/\">Nowell<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/obsidian\/\">Obsidian<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/ovation\/\">Ovation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/promenade\/\">Promenade<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/twotone\/\">TwoTone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/wayfarer\/\">Wayfarer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What can they be used for?<\/h2>\n<h3>Gigs<\/h3>\n<p>The most obvious and useful purpose of a gigs archive is to allow site users to see both your upcoming and past gigs. The AudioTheme gigs archive will only show upcoming gigs by default. Once a gig has passed, it will be moved to the past gigs archive. There may be several reasons that you want to allow people to view your past gig archives. Fans may want to see how often you play in a specific area or at a certain venue. If you\u2019re scheduling shows, you may want booking agents to see how often you\u2019re performing and where.<\/p>\n<p>The gig archives menu is found under <em>Appearance \u2192 Menu<\/em>. You can then click \u201ccreate a new menu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can use custom links to organize your archive by year. For example:<\/p>\n<p>If <code>https:\/\/example.com\/gigs\/<\/code> is the gigs archive, it would show all upcoming gigs.<\/p>\n<p>A list of all past shows could be found at <code>https:\/\/example.com\/gigs\/past\/<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Specific years could also be show such as <code>https:\/\/example.com\/gigs\/2017\/<\/code> or <code>https:\/\/example.com\/gigs\/2018\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>Below the links you\u2019ve just added, you\u2019ll see a list titled &#8220;Theme locations&#8221;. Selecting &#8220;Gigs Menu&#8221; will place it at the top of your gigs page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9860\" src=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/gig-menu.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1194\" height=\"710\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to replicate the menu as shown on our <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/popbelly\/\"><em>Popbelly<\/em> demo<\/a>, you\u2019ll also need to add a link to the main gigs archive to the same menu. This will allow users to toggle between upcoming and past gigs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31214\" src=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/popbelly-gigs-menu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1294\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/popbelly-gigs-menu.jpg 1294w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/popbelly-gigs-menu-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/popbelly-gigs-menu-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/popbelly-gigs-menu-1024x544.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/popbelly-gigs-menu-840x447.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1294px) 100vw, 1294px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Discography<\/h3>\n<p>Do you have different types of records you\u2019d like to showcase on your site? Perhaps live albums, full length records, and EPs. Or do you record with two separate bands and want to organize them based on group? Are you both a musician and stand up comedian with different types of records? You can organize all of your discography using AudioTheme\u2019s record types and archive menu.<\/p>\n<p>From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to <em>Discography \u2192 Record Types<\/em>. Here you can create your different categories for your records. Taking a look at the AudioTheme <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/ovation\/\"><em>Ovation<\/em> demo<\/a>, we can see two different record types along with the list of all records.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31215\" src=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/ovation-records-menu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1295\" height=\"693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/ovation-records-menu.jpg 1295w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/ovation-records-menu-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/ovation-records-menu-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/ovation-records-menu-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/ovation-records-menu-840x450.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1295px) 100vw, 1295px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If we follow the <em>Ovation<\/em> example, we would create a record type named \u201cAlbum\u201d and one named \u201cEP\u201d. However, these types can be named anything. So, you could potentially classify your records by genre, producer, band, performance type, era, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Each record type will automatically populate its own URL, using the following syntax:<\/p>\n<p><code>https:\/\/example.com\/music\/type\/name\/<\/code><\/p>\n<p>These links can be added to the record archive menu, similarly to the way we added the gigs menu in the previous example. Note that if you changed the slug of your discography archive, the links will vary from the example above. You can always check the live link of each record type under <em>Discography \u2192 Record Types<\/em>, where you can mouse over existing types and click the \u201cView\u201d link.<\/p>\n<p>To add these custom links to your Records Menu, navigate to <em>Appearance \u2192 Menus<\/em> and create a new menu. Add your record type links as custom links, and assign the display location as \u201cRecords Menu\u201d, then click \u201cSave Menu\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31216\" src=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/record-menu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/record-menu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/record-menu-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/record-menu-768x822.jpg 768w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/record-menu-956x1024.jpg 956w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/record-menu-840x900.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Videos<\/h3>\n<p>You can use video categories and the video archive menu to sort and organize the content in that archive as well. Possible uses might include sorting videos of live performances from music videos or interviews. To get started, navigate to <em>Videos \u2192 Categories<\/em>. From that screen, you\u2019ll be able to create your categories.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the video archive menu in action on our <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/promenade\/videos\/\"><em>Promenade<\/em> demo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31217\" src=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/video-archive-menu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/video-archive-menu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/video-archive-menu-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/video-archive-menu-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/video-archive-menu-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/video-archive-menu-840x551.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just like the other archives, each video category will automatically populate its own URL, using the following format:<\/p>\n<p><code>https:\/\/example.com\/videos\/category\/name\/<\/code><\/p>\n<p>These links can be added to the video archive menu, similarly to the way we added the gigs and record menus in the previous example.

This means if you\u2019re using a minimal theme like <em>Encore<\/em> that doesn\u2019t have support of archive menus, you can still use the custom links generated by the plugin. A great example of this can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.audiotheme.com\/encore\"><em>Encore<\/em> demo<\/a>, where the past gigs archive is listed as a submenu item under \u201cTour\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31219\" src=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/encore-gigs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1191\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/encore-gigs.jpg 1191w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/encore-gigs-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/encore-gigs-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/encore-gigs-1024x624.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/audiotheme.com\/content\/uploads\/encore-gigs-840x512.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1191px) 100vw, 1191px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What if I don\u2019t want to show a main archive?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve put in the effort to organize your content into different categories or types in an effort to keep them separate, it can seem a little pointless if the main navigation still links to an archive with all of your videos or records in one place.
