Hi,

Is there any way to have a post type called 'exhibitions' whilst also having a page called 'exhibitions' as I know this can potentially cause conflicts.

Thanks,

In general, it is preferred to use a WordPress Archive to style the page at /exhibitions/ instead of a custom Page. However, I've seen other sites use a Page there and it overrides the WordPress Archive design. Is there a specific reason you want to use a Page instead of a WordPress Archive?

Hi,

I managed to sort this by using the custom URL format in the post type editor.

Thanks!
