   Hi there
   I’ve created the Archive Page adding the archive-custom.php file to the file manager of my website as explained here.
   Only, I have no way to customize it but using the theme embedded Customize section.
   I thought instead I was going to be able to customize the CPTs Archive Page as all other pages, i.e. with a page builder (Elementor in my case).
   Where did I go wrong (in case I did)?

     It would depend on your specific theme for what customization options are available which is why we recommend SeedProd in our article to give a drag and drop customization option.

   Hi, love is step by step guide, but I would love to know how to create an archive template page for a book directory, instead of using any filter to navigate categories, I will love to learn how to create a custom archive page to display each categories.
   Eg. Like a business listing site, people can filter by location, business type but I will love to know how to create archive page for it instead of using filter

   Thank you

   Hi there, thanks for your Custom Post blogs!

   I have successfully created a custom post type and associated Archive page.

   I now want to display the custom posts on the main Archive page as well, so that if for example someone click a Category link they see the regular and custom posts that have that particular Category.

   What is the best way to achieve this?

   I have a quick question. I am trying to build a FAQ page and I would like just the questions to show on the main archive page and not the content. So when they click on the questions it will take them to the content page itself.

   Also is there a way to not show the authors name in the posted content. I am not a programmer but am learning. Thanks.

     For the FAQ you may want to take a look at our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-a-frequently-asked-questions-faqs-section-in-wordpress/

   What would be the URL to access the archive page?

   Responder

6. Monique

   Everything works but how do you give your custom post type another design as your other posts? Can you use it with a single.php file that sends each post to its own single-[tag or category].php file? I tried this out and get the right single post URL in the location bar but the wrong content on the page.

   I think, when working on really extensive websites with a lot of post types, taxonomies, terms, it is better to manage archives with something like the Elementary plugin.

   This also makes it easier to maintain / separate the content / design of archives.

    My category archives for CPT are displaying in archive.php instead of archive-{CPT}.php what should i do now? please help

    Responder

    • Rafael Cavalcante

      Replace {CPT} with the name of your custom post type.

      IE.:
      For “register_post_type(‘brand’)”, your template will be archive-brand.php

    what if I already have a page at yoursite/deals which has content on it. What would the url to my category’s archive page be?

    Responder

    • Jouke Nienhuis

      You must not think in real internetlinks or URI as they are called. In Wordpress you have an option to rewrite the url, so that it links directly to the post name or category archive. In the address bar, you normally see an address pointing to a file, or if you have it directed to a directory, like it looks in your example, it can take its index.html or index.php file in that directory. But in a WordPress site that address is cloaked and in reality it takes you to archive-deals.php. So no conflicts here. You have to change the thinking form normal linking to an address to a Wordpress linking.

    Never mind, i solved my problem by adding this to my functions.php

    function template_chooser($template)
    {
    global $wp_query;
    $post_type = get_query_var(‘post_type’);
    if( $wp_query->is_search && $post_type == ‘member’ )
    {
    return locate_template(‘archive-member.php’);
    }
    return $template;
    }
    add_filter(‘template_include’, ‘template_chooser’);

    i’ve created an archive-member.php and a search form to filter the results. however everytime my search includes the ‘s’ query string, it displays the results in the archive.php. eg:
    ?post_type=member&s=custom_post_title (displays results in archive.php)
    ?post_type=member&custom_taxonomy=developer (displays results in archive-member.php)

    i want all results that uses ?post_type=member to display in the archive-member.php.

    Thanks, this is really helping me out!

    But I don’t get it the way I want it to. If I look at the examples given at the end, it looks quite similar to what I want to establish.

    I want to show 3 posts per row, with each post the title and thumbnail. When clicking on them there will be a pop-up window. (Html is ready for it so I only need to know how to set this up)

    This archive page is pretty much the same as I displayed my post in each category, but I’m getting stuck here..

    So how do I get this in to the php correctly?

    The page I made before, didn’t showed the posts but an link to archive….

    Can you help me out and tell me how the example pages work?
    They are quite similar to what I want.

    Thanks already,

    Davy

      Hey bud Try Pods for this and create archive page, and re-write it with the template.

    Hi there,

    Very helpful article. I’ll be trying it soon.
    I have a related question:

    Would you be able to somehow display the list of custom post archive pages, including not just the title of the pages, as you have it:
    • opinion
    • showcase
    • themes

    …but displaying also a featured image for each archive page, the way you can with post lists?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Yes sounds do able. One easier approach would be using featured images with the same name as custom post type then you can use something like:

      <?php
      
      $args = array(
         'public'   => true,
         '_builtin' => false
      );
      
      $output = 'names'; // names or objects, note names is the default
      $operator = 'and'; // 'and' or 'or'
      
      $post_types = get_post_types( $args, $output, $operator ); 
      
      foreach ( $post_types  as $post_type ) {
      
         echo '<img src="/path/to/images/' . $post_type . '.png" />';
      }
      
      ?>

        I know this opportunity but I meant :

        with the and code? how I can insert?

        and

        I have a network of blog for administrate multilanguage site (this site are not build by me, I had take this work of administration this site) and archive-post_type.php call a type of Custom Post Type that have the same name for EN site and DE site.

        If add the code inside the archive-post_type.php, the Title and the Description are only in one language and I can’t insert SEO for DE site.

        I know that my site is complicated and built bad but I can’t change this setting and I search a solution for insert SEO title, meta description and meta keyword in all languages that is made my site.

        You think that is impossible for my settings?

          Sorry but the html code that I’ve written are deleted from site.

    To make pagination work you need to call the paged variable into your posts calls.

    query_posts( ‘post_type=xxxxxxx&post_status=published&posts_per_page=10&paged=” . get_query_var(‘paged’) ′);

    I can’t get this code to work. In fact, I spent hours with it. I’m not sure what global $query_string actually does, but the code will not work while that is in there. No posts display at all. It’s as though the query doesn’t return any results.

    If I replace this line: global $query_string; query_posts($query_string . “post_type=mentions&post_status=published&posts_per_page=10”);

    with this line query_posts( ‘post_type=mentions&post_status=published&posts_per_page=2’);

    I get results, but the pagination code does not work. The link changes from previous results to next results, but the result list does not change. The same posts are displayed on every page

24. katarsis20032002

    the code above don’t work for me

    the solution i was found there was in the codex

    ”

    For example, to set the display order of the posts without affecting the rest of the query string, you could place the following before The Loop:

    global $query_string; query_posts( $query_string . ‘&order=ASC’ );

    When using query_posts() in this way, the quoted portion of the parameter must begin with an ampersand (&)…

    ”

    the & is missing

    this is the original link

    Thanks for the post, how ever — Your method was returning all products from all categories. I modified it to retrieve only the products in the current category.

    $thisCat = get_category(get_query_var(‘cat’),false);
    query_posts(“post_type=product&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=10&cat=”.$thisCat->cat_ID);

        “When using query_posts() in this way, the quoted portion of the parameter must begin with an ampersand (&). ”

        and this is indeed the problem in the snippet provided above there is an ampersand missing:

        query_posts(“&post_type

    This is a nice step.
    For what I need? Half step.

    I’d love to use this for, say, posts that are parents, and posts that are their children.
    Catch is that a parent’s child can also have children, so that child is both child and parent. And if I can give that one both, I still have to keep the relationship straight … they aren’t apples and oranges in a barrel.

    But thanks!
