[Support request] How to customize CPT archive page with Element

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

I did switch to the parent theme.

Then I went to the Element, Display Rules > Location > Post Archive. I’m not seeing CTP to select from.

Here’s my archive-back-numbers.php code

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying Archive pages for バックナンバー.
 *
 * @package GeneratePress
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" <?php generate_do_element_classes( 'content' ); ?>>
		<main id="main" <?php generate_do_element_classes( 'main' ); ?>>
			<div class="back-number-flex-container">
				<?php
				/**
				 * generate_before_main_content hook.
				 *
				 * @since 0.1
				 */
				do_action( 'generate_before_main_content' );
	
				if ( generate_has_default_loop() ) {
					if ( have_posts() ) :
	
						/**
						 * generate_archive_title hook.
						 *
						 * @since 0.1
						 *
						 * @hooked generate_archive_title - 10
						 */
						do_action( 'generate_archive_title' );
	
						while ( have_posts() ) :
	
							the_post();
	
							get_template_part( 'content', 'back-numbers' );
	
						endwhile;
	
						/**
						 * generate_after_loop hook.
						 *
						 * @since 2.3
						 */
						do_action( 'generate_after_loop', 'archive' );
	
					else :
	
						generate_do_template_part( 'none' );
	
					endif;
				}
	
				/**
				 * generate_after_main_content hook.
				 *
				 * @since 0.1
				 */
				do_action( 'generate_after_main_content' );
				?>
			</div><!-- END back-number-flex-container -->
		</main>
	</div>

	<?php
	/**
	 * generate_after_primary_content_area hook.
	 *
	 * @since 2.0
	 */
	do_action( 'generate_after_primary_content_area' );

	generate_construct_sidebars();

	get_footer();

Here’s content-back-numbers.php code:

<?php
/**
 * This is displayed in archive page 
 *
 * @package GeneratePress
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}
?>

	<div class="back-number-flex-item">
		<header class="entry-header">
		<?php
		$file = get_field('pdf');
		if( $file ): ?>
		<h2><a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>" target="_blank" title="<?php the_title(); ?>&nbsp;Vol.<?php the_field('vol'); ?> (PDF) が、新しい窓で開きます！"><?php the_title(); ?>&nbsp;Vol.<?php the_field('vol'); ?></a></h2>
		<?php endif; ?>
		</header><!-- .entry-header -->
		
		<div class="col1">
			<figure class="wp-block-image size-large">
			<?php
			$file = get_field('pdf');
			if( $file ): ?>
			<a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>" target="_blank" title="<?php the_title(); ?>&nbsp;Vol.<?php the_field('vol'); ?> (PDF) が、新しい窓で開きます！"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'back-number-cover' ); ?></a>
			<?php endif; ?>
			</figure>
		</div>
		
		<div class="col2">
			<p class="published-date">
			発行日：<?php the_field('published-date'); ?>
			</p>
		
			<div class="detail">
			<?php the_field('detail'); ?>
			</div>
		
		<?php
		$file = get_field('pdf');
		if( $file ): ?>
			<div class="read-more-button">
				<a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="<?php the_title(); ?>&nbsp;Vol.<?php the_field('vol'); ?> (PDF) が、新しい窓で開きます！">内容を読む</a>
			</div>
		<?php endif; ?>
		</div>
	</div><!-- END class="back-number-flex-item -->

		<?php
		/**
		 * generate_after_entry_content hook.
		 *
		 * @since 0.1
		 *
		 * @hooked generate_footer_meta - 10
		 */
		do_action( 'generate_after_entry_content' );

		/**
		 * generate_after_content hook.
		 *
		 * @since 0.1
		 */
		do_action( 'generate_after_content' );
		?>

Maybe I’m doing something wrong…?

Hi there!

Thanks for the suggestions.

The display rule for a CPT doesn’t appear under Posts. Any CPT will have its own item on the dropdown.
Example – https://share.getcloudapp.com/mXurKylL

Note: If the archive option doesn’t appear on the dropdown options, it’s likely that you didn’t have it enabled on the CPT UI.

My CPT UI “Has Archive” was set to “True” but my setting of “Public” was set to “False”. That was the reason why my Element > Display Rule wasn’t showing the correct archive page ;b

I made the setting “Public” to be “False” because I read in the articles that that’s what I should do when my CPT archive page do NOT need single pages to link to. I know this is not related to GP but if any of you guys have suggestions on how to properly handle this? (I need a CPT archive page only, not detail single pages)

Thanks again for your time!
