Custom Post Types – confused

you enable an archive, and give it a url, using has_archive

look for has_archive here, you enable it when setting the CPT, you can then give it a slug, which will become your archive page for that CPT

Blimey! It was that simple! Thank you, thank you…

ANother quickie if anyone can help…
On the WP menu admin page I have my CPT coming up with a list of the “posts” underneath that I can add to the menu.

How can I get a list of the CPT archive pages here so people can easily add the https://www.website.com/custom-post-type-name archive listings to the menu (like you can with categories)?

Try to add the custom post type archive as a “custom link”.

thanks keesiemeijer – yes I can do that, just wondering if there was a more user-friendly way than that. Not a big problem if not as custom links will do the job.

One thing to note for anyone doing the has_archives code: mine didn’t work for a while then I read about flushing permalinks… just go to your settings > permalinks page, change hte permalink structure to anything (default?), save, then change back to the one you want and sava gain – made it work for me

Thanks everyone

actually, I believe just visiting the permalinks page flushes them…. if not then hitting save definitely does, no need to actually change the settings.

But definitely do remember to flush anytime you add a CPT (or custom taxonomy)

thanks rev voodoo.
