Primarily because if I have a custom content type, then I want people to be able to browse that content type, and I don't want them to browse the content type with the same styling and format as normal blog entries.[[BR]] [[BR]] For example if I have a custom content type of ""books"", then I want a category page for books with a loop that returns all of my ""books"" in a custom format.[[BR]] [[BR]] Continuing with this example, if I write a post called ""A Book"" then the slug becomes example.com/books/a-book/ however /example.com/books/ returns a 404. This is where I'd like to see archive-post_type.php kick in.[[BR]] [[BR]] The new approach:[[BR]] * archive-post_type-slug.php[[BR]] * archive-post_type-id.php[[BR]] * archive-post_type.php[[BR]] * archive.php[[BR]] [[BR]] This seems like a fairly obvious one to me (in place of hacking around with pages and custom-page-templates)" enhancement closed normal Posts, Post Types normal duplicate
