FAQ

Can I be havin’ a custom archive page for me posts?

By default WordPress allows you to use a special page as a custom archive page for posts so you don’t need to use this plugin for that.

Why am I not seein’ me options?

You need to have at least one custom post type on your site for this plugin to have any effect. The plugin won’t do anything otherwise.

What happ’ns if I be deletin’ the page?

If you delete a page that is a custom archive page, it will automatically remove the setting and will safely default back to the standard archive page template.

Can this ‘ere archive be usin’ ye page permalink instead?

No, due to technical difficulties and user experience considerations, the custom archive page must use the original archive permalink.

Can ye use a page for lots’a archives?

No, this is not possible as the user is redirected to the original archive page link.
