Which file displays the date archive?

archive.php is used to display author, search, category, tag and date archives. As clicking on a calendar day will take you to the date archive for that day, then the file you’re looking for is archive.php.

More specifically, WordPress will check for these files in this order, stopping when it finds one of these files in your active theme’s folder:

  1. date.php
  2. archive.php
  3. index.php
