In case others are still looking for a solution like this, I just noticed that as of v4.4 the args for wp_get_archives() now accepts post type.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack Lenox had a lot to do with it. Either way, looks like you can skip this plugin from here on.

I am working on archiving events and would like to archive events by event date and not the published date. I have events as a custom post type and accepting event_date(custom field) from admin panel. Can you suggest a way in which I can use the meta_query to return the events post by event_date passed in the URL.

Hi there,

i’ve got a few custom post types that I would like to display. Is it possible for this plugin to display an array of custom posts?

I’ve tried this but nothing happened:
<?php $sumEntries = array( ‘post_type’ => array(‘custom_post_1’, ‘custom_post_2’, ‘custom_post_3’, ‘custom_post_4’)); ?>
<?php wp_get_archives_cpt( $sumEntries ); ?>

Any help?
Thanks.

The current version of the plugin is adding the custom post type slug to the url if type=postbypost or alpha is used. I temporarily fixed mine by commenting out “. $post_type” in
this section of

if ( $results ) {
			foreach ( (array) $results as $result ) {
				if ( $result->post_date != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ) {
					$url = get_permalink( $result ) /*. $post_type*/;
					if ( $result->post_title ) {
						/** This filter is documented in wp-includes/post-template.php */
						$text = strip_tags( apply_filters( 'the_title', $result->post_title, $result->ID ) );
					} else {
						$text = $result->ID;
					}
					$output .= get_archives_link( $url, $text, $args['format'], $args['before'], $args['after'] );
				}
			}
		}

Thank you.

Hey, first of all thanks for an awesome plugin!

I’m looking for the same thing as nicolasschabram, i want the permalink structure to be domain.com/custom-post-type/2015/03. Is this possible to change in the plugin file? Just a hint of how this can be done would save my day!!

Thanks,
Johan

Hey, I’m pretty new so I’m not sure if there’s something I’m missing but archives for my CPTs break when I use the WPML plugin. ?? I can’t really give you much to work with either because I don’t get any errors at all!

WPML is great and the company I work for has bought it so I can’t really switch it out ??

All I know is that it works fine when I disable WPML. I’ve tried reactivating both plugins separately and also re-saving permalinks. Any tips?

Thanks for writing this plugin it works great.

Is it possible to exclude or better yet just include custom taxonomy specific to a defined Custom Post type?

For example: custom type “book”, has custom taxonomy “genres” (“novel”, “tragedy” .etc.) and we want to display Tragedies archive list only on Tragedy page and Novel on Novel page??

As this post concerns another issue I started a second topic.

I’m currently trying to build an archive for my custom post type which should consist of a single page per day. Is there a way to use get_day_link() in combination with this plugin in order to generate the links to the individual pages?

Thanks,
Nicolas

Hey Jack,

thanks a lot for this plugin! I’ve been searching for hours until I found this. It seems like it’s doing exactly what I need.
I’ve got just one last problem: Is there a way to alter the permalink structure of the archive pages? At the moment it looks something like domain.tld/2014/09/30/custom_post_type/. I’d prefer domain.tld/custom_string/2014/09/30. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you,
Nicolas

Are there advances options that I can use? E.g. yearly, monthly or daily archives.

The Plugin works great, however, which template is actually used when I click the link? And how can I modify it.
