Hello,

I'm attempting to create a site based on 3 custom post types, each representing a unique category but using the same content template.

My question is, do I create a different WordPress Archive for each CPT or a single Archive which each CPT will share?

Hi Charles,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

If you want to have your archives for each CPT different then you can create separate archive templates but if you want them to look the same then you can just use one Archive and then select the CPT that this archive should apply to.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Thank you. To clarify the selection process for the shared Archive, this is done from Edit WordPress Archive > Loops Selection > Custom Post ARchive (selections)?

Hi Charles,

That is correct. The area where you see the checkboxes with the different CPT listings.

Thanks,
Shane
