I no longer include the “archive.php” file in my themes because I have “date.php”, “category.php”, “author.php” and “tag.php” to handle the requests. What I’m wondering is, can you directly target the “archive.php” file or return a TRUE value for the “is_archive()” function that does not go through one of these other files?
The WP Codex states:
Function Reference/is archive
This Conditional Tag checks if any type of Archive page is being displayed. An Archive is a Category, Tag, Author or a Date based pages. This is a boolean function, meaning it returns either TRUE or FALSE .

To me that means “archive.php” is a catchall for these other queries, but when you look at the diagram for template hierarchy it shows a separate branch for “is_archive”
