I create "review" post type

I install "Custom Post Type Widgets" plugin to show the reviews archive. and it is working as you can see here - on the left side bar:
hidden link

but If you click on one of these links there is a "page not found" error:
hidden link
so - this archive link is not working...

these are my permalinks structure: "hidden link"

I created an archive to "review" post type. amd you can see it here:
hidden link

but I need a monthly archive for these reviews...

I also create a monthly archive only to "reviews", and it is working like this:
hidden link

but the URL is without the "review" slug so the side bar I created with "Custom Post Type Widgets" don't works...

and what if I need a separate monthly archive for a different post type?

Can you help me?

Hi, I'm afraid there is no simple way to create different monthly archives for custom post types using this URL structure. The year / month / day archives are only meant for the native WordPress Post type, so this URL format doesn't work for multiple post types. If the URL structure is flexible, you can add a Post Date filter to each post type's WordPress Archive. Set the filter to respond to a URL parameter like you can see in Screen Shot 2018-12-31 at 12.05.10 PM.png, then you can link to different month archives using different URL parameters like this:
https://yoursite.com/review/?postyear=2018&postmonth=08
The results will be filtered by year and month.

If your site requires the /post-type-slug/year/month/ URL structure, it will require custom code that manipulates URL permalink structures. That customization falls outside the scope of support we provide here.
