Custom Post Type Archives in WordPress Menus?
I was setting up a development WordPress environment under a non-root directory on a remote server this morning. Created a couple of custom post types and, as usual, was about to create separate pages for them (more on the technique later). This usually works out quite well, however, I decided to take another well-known route – use their existing archive pages via their slugs. Went over to the Menu and, obviously, found no Custom Post Type archive metabox that I could create a Menu item from. Custom Post Type posts – sure. Custom Taxonomies? Yes, Sir. Custom Post Type archives? …
And, of course, I couldn’t take the thought off my mind all day (probably won’t sleep tonight figuring out). How does one set up a proper archive page menu item? There are, generally, two approaches to this (+1 hackish one). If you know of more, do share, please.
