Hi I’m using a child theme of the basic Kadence theme ( I’m now thinking I should have used one of your premium themes – so please advise if this can’t be done with the basic theme). I am using gutenberg blocks, with Kadence blocks.

So, I have set the homepage to display latest posts – set to max of 3.

I Like the style of this display and would like to create an archive page with similar style – probably with smaller post boxes, with pagination links. Tried creating an archive page with the post grid block, but don’t see how I can get the pagination?

As an alternative, I’d could use a widget that shows posts by year – this blog has a lot of posts from early 2000’s through to 2013 and is now being revived and used again. So, the archive monthly widget is a very awkward interface since there may only be one per month. Anyway, if there is a way to setup a year drop down, the display seems to use the same style as the blog posts on the home page. You can see the archive widget on a past page here:

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
