Tag Archive

What it's for: Displaying posts from a single specific tag - showing all content tagged with one particular tag term

When it's used: When someone clicks on a tag link, visits a specific tag URL (like /tag/responsive-design/), or lands on an individual tag's archive page

What you can design: Single tag archive layouts - tag headers with that tag's description, post listings from that specific tag, and navigation elements tailored to browsing one tag's content

Appears when: Any individual WordPress tag archive page is visited

Examples of when this template appears:​

  • Someone clicks on the "CSS" tag from a blog post and sees all posts tagged with "CSS".
  • That's your Tag Archive template.
  • Or when someone visits /tag/wordpress/ and views all posts tagged with "WordPress" - they see your Tag Archive template.

What dynamic data is available:​

You have access to the specific tag's data and all posts within it

  • tag name
  • tag description
  • posts within this tag
  • pagination information
  • post count for this tag
  • related tags
Pro feature

You can also query related tags, filter posts by additional criteria within the tag, and create conditional layouts based on the specific tag being viewed. Learn more about using dynamic data →

What you control:​

Everything on individual tag archive pages - tag headers, post grid layouts, filtering controls, pagination styles, sidebar content. You design the complete experience for people browsing posts from one specific tag.

Doesn't affect:​

  • Individual posts or pages - those use Single Post, Single Page, or Single CPT templates
  • Other archive types - category pages, author pages, or custom taxonomy archives need their own templates
  • Homepage or blog index - those need Front Page or Blog Index templates

Template Priority: 70​

This template has default priority 70 in Builderius template hierarchy. It will override general templates like All Archives (70) when specifically targeting tag archives, but gives way to more specific tag conditions you might create.

Note: When you design a page or post directly (without using templates), that design always wins regardless of priority numbers. Learn more about designing pages directly →
