Archive rules
Turn on more archives, and give each archive type, or a specific category, its own loading mode and products per page.
More archives
| Setting | Default | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Product Tag Archives | On | Every product tag page |
| Product Attribute Archives | On | Attributes set to "Enable archives" in WooCommerce |
| Brand Archives | On | WooCommerce Brands |
| Page Builder Product Grids | On | Paginated product grids on regular pages: block editor, Elementor or Bricks |
The shop page and categories are still switched on and off on the General tab, and Enable Infinite Scroll there turns everything off.
Rules by archive type
Each archive type has a Mode and a Products per Page setting, labelled with its name (for example Product Tags: Mode): Shop Page, Product Categories, Product Tags, Product Attributes, Brands, and Page Builder Grids (mode only; builder grids keep the count set in the builder).
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Mode | Use default (the default), Infinite Scroll, Load More Button, Hybrid (scroll, then button), Numbered AJAX Pages, Previous / Next, Load More + Show All, Infinite with Page Markers, Off (normal pagination) |
| Products per Page | Default 0, range 0–200. 0 keeps your WooCommerce setting. Also the number loaded per request |
Rules for specific archives
- More Archives: switches for tag, attribute and brand archives and page builder grids
- Rules by Archive Type: a Mode and Products per Page for each archive type
- Click Add Rule
Choose an Archive: any category, tag, attribute term or brand, grouped by type with subcategories indented.
- Set the mode and count
Loading Mode and Products per Page (0 = use the archive type rule). You can set just one of them.
- Order and save
Use Move Up and Move Down, then Save Changes.
- A category rule also applies to its subcategories (and a brand rule to its sub-brands).
- Rules are checked from top to bottom; the first match wins. Put a subcategory's rule above its parent's.
- A rule also covers the term's WPML or Polylang translations.
- Up to 100 rules. Rules without an archive, duplicates, and rules that change nothing (Use default with 0 products) are removed when you save.
- With no rules yet, the card reads "No archive rules yet. Every archive uses the rules by archive type above."
Which setting wins
- The first matching specific archive rule.
- The archive type rule.
- The Pagination Style on Pro Features (unless Free Loading Mode).
- The Loading Mode on the General tab.
Products per page: the specific rule (if above 0), otherwise the archive type rule, otherwise your WooCommerce setting.
