How to Fix Raft Theme's Category Archive Pages Showing All Posts

29 threads Sep 16, 2025 Theme → Raft

Content

Many users of the Raft theme have encountered a specific issue where their category and tag archive pages display posts from across the entire website, rather than filtering to show only the content from the selected category or tag. This guide will explain the problem and provide the official solution.

The Problem

When navigating to a category-specific URL (e.g., yoursite.com/category/news/) or a tag archive, the page incorrectly lists every post on the site. This defeats the purpose of having categories and tags, as visitors cannot browse content by topic. This issue was confirmed by the Raft team in a support thread and is not caused by other plugins or customizations.

The Official Solution

The Raft development team has acknowledged this as a bug within the theme itself. They have created a public GitHub issue to track the problem and work on a permanent fix. Users experiencing this issue can follow the progress on the official GitHub issue page.

What to Do While Waiting for the Fix

Since this is a core theme issue, a permanent resolution will be delivered in a future theme update. To be notified of the fix, ensure your WordPress installation is set to receive updates and watch for Raft's update in your dashboard. Once the update is released, installing it should resolve the archive page filtering problem automatically.

In the meantime, you can temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Three) to confirm that the issue is specific to Raft and not a conflict with another part of your site.
