# Creating an Archive Page

Archive pages aren't the same as regular pages. You can't edit these pages or add your own content. Instead, they're used to display a list of posts in a given taxonomy, such as categories or tags. You can view an archive page by clicking on a post's category or tag link.

Creating your own archive page is as simple as adding it to your navigation menu. Navigate to **Appearance > Menus** from your WordPress dashboard, then select the menu you want to edit. Let's say you want to add a category page - Under the "Categories" tab on the left, select the category you want to display your posts in, then click on "Add to Menu".

![Select a category then click on "Add to Menu"](/files/-Mi1iJtKF7eGEAeZ_No1)

This will then show up at the bottom of your menu. Don't forget, you can drag this item wherever you want in your menu structure. After saving your menu, visit your site and click on the menu item. Assuming you have posts assigned to this category, you should now see your newly created archive page.

![Category archive page](/files/-Mi1jQ9-6sXFR6Iw1bVG)

You can do the same with any taxonomy, including tags or even custom taxonomies from other plugins. Just repeat the same process above.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you don't see a particular taxonomy in the "Add menu items" column, click on **Screen Options** at the top and enable them.
{% endhint %}
