Custom post types with rewrite doesn't have loop page

[grezvany13]

note: not sure if bug, feature request or enhancement... or current feature

When using custom post types with rewrite, the slug itself can't be accessed.

Example:

register_post_type('micro', array(
	'label' => __('Micros'),
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'hierarchical' => true
));

Results: (with permalinks: '/%postname%/')
www.example.com/about/ (works; since normal page)
www.example.com/micro/post-name/ (works; since complete permalink)
www.example.com/micro/ (404; not a page, not a menu item, not a permalink)

The problem is also notable at the menu manager, since it's only possible to add direct links to the posts like links to normal pages.
While a link to the slug only would/could be desirable (like blog listing).

More or less a roundabout duplicate of #12974.

Umm Nacin beat me to it, all I'm going to say on the subject is more and more people are talking about this now! Shouldn't this be marked and closed at duplicate? :D

You're both right, it's a duplicate of #12974 (my bad).

Therefor closed.
