Table of Contents
AP Family Archive publishes your family history as a complete website on your own WordPress site: a person page for every ancestor, a family group page for every couple, a surname index and full search - cross-linked, with sources cited and living people protected automatically.
First run #
- Install and activate from Plugins → Add New.
- Open AP Family Archive in the admin menu. On the Dashboard tab, choose the tree to publish - or import a GEDCOM first from the Import / Export tab (see "Importing from GEDCOM").
- Click Make the pages for me. The archive views are ordinary WordPress pages carrying shortcodes, created as drafts so you can review them first.
- Review and publish the draft pages. They work with any theme.
The tabs #
- Dashboard - choose the published tree, create the pages, and see the archive at a glance.
- People, Families, Sources, Media - browse and manage the records in the working tree.
- Branches - describe family branches (see "Reports and Branches").
- Import / Export - GEDCOM in and out.
Works with AP Family Trees #
Archive and AP Family Trees share one data core. Install either first, alone or together - the same people appear in both with no re-import.
