Tell us what you are trying to do?
How can I hide or restrict access to custom post type archives?
So I have two CPT's Members and Comments. Neither of these require an archive that are visible to users so I'm wondering how I might go about stopping these being accessible? Thank you!

Hi Tom,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You can do this by disabling the archive for both of these post types. To do this you will need to go to Toolset -> Post Types and edit your custom post type.

Search for the has_archive option and ensure that it is not ticked.

Thanks,
Shane
