Place jQuery in the head on archive pages. You can use other conditionals in place of `is_archive()` to achieve this behavior for other conditions.

// Alternative, if you have a archive.php template, you could also use the built-in `__return_true`
// function to filter from within the setting from within the archive.php template file:
