Date, Category, and Tag Archives

Aurora has support built-in for generating date, category, and tag archives. These are useful for blogs.

Date Archives

Aurora automatically generates date archives for blog posts. You do not need to configure any setting to use this feature.

Date archives are generated as follows:

• https://example.com/2024/: All posts published in 2024.
• https://example.com/2024/01/: All posts published in January 2024.
• https://example.com/2024/01/01/: All posts published on January 1, 2024.

Category and Tag Archives

Aurora automatically generates category and tag archives.

These archives are generated if you specify category and/or tag attributes in your blog post front matters.

Category archives are generated as follows:

• https://example.com/category/<name>: All posts with the specified category.

Tag archives are generated as follows:

• https://example.com/tag/<name>: All posts with the specified tag.

Customize Category and Tag Paths

You can change the default category and tag path roots.

To do so, update the SITE_STATE value in your config.py configuration to include:

SITE_STATE = {
    "category_slug_root": "categories",
    "tag_slug_root": "tags",
}

The above example would change the category and tag paths to:

• https://example.com/categories/<name>: All posts with the specified category.
• https://example.com/tags/<name>: All posts with the specified tag.
