Other

I have also tried adding the category-archive.md and tag-archive.md page in my local environment but that also does not fix the problem.

I understand that this is an issue on the archive plugin, as an alternate, what do you recommend? Should I stop the archive plugin and stick to the default archiving?

I take it is going to be too much of an effort to manually create all the archive pages.

@mmistakes This is actually doable: iBug/iBug-source@8685c1e

Sum up: Archive pages created by JA have types tag and category, so adding default values for these types of pages works for JA.

I'd appreciate if you can point out which part of the documentation this information belongs to so I can submit a PR. #2466

Thanks a lot @iBug, your solution is exactly what I was looking for. I hope this doesn't break anything.
