Archive templates #7
Description
One of the main things I see as a "problem" from a purely development standpoint are the 5 different archive templates. Obviously, 4 of them are for specific plugins. However, there's really very little that's different with most of them. Personally, I'd strive to cut that down to a single archive.php template if possible.
Wrapper:
Primarily, this is the code that gets changed in each template:
echo '<div class="blog-wrapper">';
That's a lot of files for mostly just one change. I feel like a checathlon_loop_wrapper_class filter hook would do a better job.
Jetpack title/desc:
The next thing is the archive title and description with Jetpack. It really seems like Jetpack should handle this on its own, but I digress.
What'd I'd do is filter get_the_archive_title and get_the_archive_description to auto-add those Jetpack titles and descriptions in.
Of course, some devs prefer to have the templates and not too much going on over in functions.php, so it's your call. I dislike having too many top-level templates if they can be avoided.
