Hi Mark. Yeah, do the same with archive.php. You can read more about this in the article above. The relevant bit is:

“The single template will let you style your individual custom post types, in our case the single property page. It’s often easiest just to create the new template file (e.g. single-kdev_properties.php), in your theme directory, and copy and paste the code from your theme’s single.php file. Then you can make any changes that you require. Before you do that though, there are some more tricks that will help you make your custom post type really come to life!

“The archive-[posttype].php template will create a page that displays a list of your custom posts. Using the same idea as above, you can copy and paste from your index.php file and edit from there. Remember the ‘has_archive’ argument that we added? That line is telling WordPress to use our custom archive file.”

You may also have to flush your rewrite rules by visiting the ‘Settings’>'Permalinks’ page and clicking ‘Save’.

Keith I think I’ve got it, I copied single.php to my child theme and named it eg single-movies.php, do I need to do the same with archive.php. – Thanks for a really good video. Mark

Cheers for this – nothing better than having a cut and paste example to play with to really help you get your head around a topic.

One of the best tutorials I’ve read on the subject so far, mainly because it covers all the crucial aspects – setting up cpts, cpt templates and meta boxes – in one go.

Great post!! Custom posts have been a confusing topic for me. Other tutorials on the web have not explained it as easily as you have. It now starting to click!
Thanks!
