I am trying to: use a view I've created - Artists Roster - Searchable, instead of the default WordPress Archive. On the staging site, I was able to get this to work, but can't figure out what the setting is I need to make to make this work on the live site.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: This is the URL for the default archive page for "artists" custom post type.

I want to see the view I created, called Artists Roster - Searchable, as can be seen on this page:

hidden link

But I need it to be the default view for the artists custom post type (using the /artists/ URL).

I'm able to get this working as desired on my staging site ( hidden link ), but can't see what I'm missing to configure on the production site to get the same results.

Dear Carlos,

How do you setup the view? it is a wordpress archive or a normal view?
It is not recommended to use normal view in the wordpress archive page, it will conduct some unexpected result, so we introduced the Views WordPress archive
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/normal-vs-archive-views/

you can also setup custom search form in the Views WordPress archive

I've updated the WordPress Archive with the custom search and added

[wpv-filter-meta-html]

to the Filter and Loop Output Integration Editor, and it's working as expected now.

Thanks
