This is a site I didn't build and is not built using toolkit (except the new stuff I'm using.)

They have no archives on the entire site, so I am wondering if I can use layouts (not using on the site yet), or if I just have to suck it up and write a archive-post-type.php file?

The biggest issue is this is both an parent organization and an alumni site built on one wordpress platform. The original company built everything by hand and there are different templates for the alumni site vs the parent site (mainly menus and headers etc.).

I will have to do this several times for different post types, so I'm just wondering what the easiest way to go forward is. Maintenance is also a concern. It's much easier to maintain layouts than custom code.

Thanks

Dear Griffin,

It depends on your theme files, both ways should be able work, you can setup the wordpress archive page from scratch using Layouts, or you can also setup the archive-post-type.php file.
To integrate theme file with Layouts plugin, please check our document:

section "PHP integration for Layouts"

Okay, that's what I thought. I can't use layouts since the rest of the site is not and I can't modify the other parts.

I'll just modify the archive.
