archive page for custom post type

Can you provide a pastebin.com of your settings using the import/export page, and also which permalink rules you’ve selected?

I’m curious if I can repeat the same results on my own.

Of course!
here my settings

the permalink rule is set to
· Post name

Honestly not sure why it’s happening that way, and I am able to recreate. Permalinks have always left my hair a little patchy, when they don’t work.

Did you ever find a solution for this issue, mosne?

hi, I was hoping that was a problem wordpress related…
but it still gave the same query even with the latest version of wordpress.

so I had to write a dirty workaround;)

$year = (get_query_var('year')) ? get_query_var('year') : get_query_var('press-release');
    $monthnum = (get_query_var('monthnum')) ? get_query_var('monthnum') : (integer) get_query_var('page');
    $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
    $wp_query->query = array("m"=>$year,"monthnum"=>$monthnum,"post_type"=>$post_type);

    $query_n = array_merge($wp_query->query, array ('post_type' =>'press-release', 'posts_per_page'=> 999, 'paged' => $paged ));

.
what if… it is a database corruption? Where you would go to check? Where are stored the rewrite url rules? Is it possible that this staff is cached ( maybe Transients API)? Can I check or purge it in some way?

I wager you’d know if you had any sort of database corruption going on, as other things would be behaving very wonky at the same time.

Rewrite rules, last I checked, were stored in the options table, and visiting the permalinks page is supposed to flush/rebuild them. Never seen a case of rewrite rules being stored in a transient, and it wouldn’t make sense too either as transients are also stored in the options table.
