WordPress Development Asked by Best Dev Tutorials on October 30, 2021
I have my custom post type working, but I can’t seem to get the archives working.
Here is my code for getting the archives:
<ul>
<?php
$args = array(
'type' => 'monthly',
'limit' => '',
'format' => 'html',
'before' => '',
'after' => '',
'show_post_count' => false,
'echo' => 1,
'order' => 'DESC',
'post_type' => 'my_custom_post_type'
);
wp_get_archives( $args ); ?>
</ul>
Here are the args for my CPT:
$args = array(
'label' => __( 'My Custom Post Type', 'realtextdomain' ),
'description' => __( 'What We Are Reading Custom Post', 'realtextdomain' ),
'labels' => $labels,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'revisions', 'custom-fields'),
'hierarchical' => false,
'public' => false,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'can_export' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => false,
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-book',
'capability_type' => 'post',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'my_custom_post_type_slug'),
);
register_post_type( 'my_custom_post_type', $args );
I have flushed permalinks, but still nothing showing up for me… any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
wp_get_archive() does not work natively with custom post type, even if the official documentation let suppose it's possible to use CPT as argument ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_get_archives)
post_type ("string") Limit archives to a post type. Default is 'post'. (since Version 4.4)
You can find discussion and possible workaround in this stackoverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8943251/wp-get-archives-for-custom-post-type-not-working
and here: Custom Post Type Archives by Year & Month?
Please note also that in your CPT register_post_type()
args you should always set public to "true" to have a public accessible url
