DEPRECATION NOTICE:<\/strong> As of WordPress 4.4, you no longer need this plugin as wp_get_archives()<\/code> now accepts custom post types as an argument. See #34686<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plugin provides proper support for archived pages of custom post types to match the support for normal posts.<\/p>\n\n

The problem is that the function, wp_get_archives()<\/code> does not allow you to pass in a post type. It only works for normal posts. There is a filter called getarchives_where()<\/code> but this doesn't handle the archive URLs (e.g. http:\/\/yoursite.com\/2014\/).<\/p>\n\n

So while the filter will help you view the correct archives, it won't work properly in conjunction with the wp_get_archives()<\/code> function. For example, a link to \"June 2014\" emitted by wp_get_archives() will only take you to normal posts from June 2014, not custom post types.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin provides a new function: wp_get_archives_cpt()<\/code>. This function can take a post_type argument as well as the usual arguments that can be passed to wp_get_archives()<\/code>. The plugin also provides automatic handling for custom post type archive URLs.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin has stemmed from a ticket that I have been working on in core: https:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/ticket\/21596<\/p>\n\n

Unfortunately a proper patch for this in core will probably have to go quite deep. I have therefore decided to share this plugin as a temporary solution.<\/p>\n\n\n

      1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n
        \n
      • Fixed pagination links<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • Broke then fixed some stupid minor issues. I've updated trunk and 1.0 a few times so probably better to tag this now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          1.0<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Initial commit.
