 * I create own Custom Post Type and add to functions.php
 *     ```
       add_action( 'init', 'create_artists' );
       function create_artists() {
       	register_post_type( 'artistspage',
       		array(
       			'labels' => array(
       				'name'                => _x( 'Artists', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
                       'singular_name'       => _x( 'Artist', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
                       'menu_name'           => __( 'Artist', 'text_domain' ),
                       'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Artist:', 'text_domain' ),
                       'all_items'           => __( 'All Artists', 'text_domain' ),
                       'view_item'           => __( 'View Artist', 'text_domain' ),
                       'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Artist', 'text_domain' ),
                       'add_new'             => __( 'New Artist', 'text_domain' ),
                       'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Artist', 'text_domain' ),
                       'update_item'         => __( 'Update Artist', 'text_domain' ),
                       'search_items'        => __( 'Search Artists', 'text_domain' ),
                       'not_found'           => __( 'No products found', 'text_domain' ),
                       'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'No products found in Trash', 'text_domain' ),
       			),
       			'public'              => true,
       			'rewrite'             => array('slug' => 'artists', 'with_front' => false),
                   'supports'            => array('title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'custom-fields'),
                   'hierarchical'        => false,
                   'public'              => true,
                   'show_ui'             => true,
                   'show_in_menu'        => true,
                   'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
                   'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
                   'menu_position'       => 5,
                   'can_export'          => true,
                   'has_archive'         => true,
                   'exclude_from_search' => false,
                   'publicly_queryable'  => true,
                   'capability_type'     => 'page',
                   'has_archive' => true
       		)
       	);
           //flush_rewrite_rules();
       }
       ```
   
 * Then I add 7 Custom Post data on it and try to call them at archive-artistspage.
   php by following this code
 *     ```
       <?php  
   
                               if ( get_query_var('paged') ) { $paged = get_query_var('paged'); }
                               elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) { $paged = get_query_var('page'); }
                               else { $paged = 1; }
                               $args = array (
                                   'post_type'          => 'artistspage',
                                   'posts_per_page'     => 6,
                                   'order'              => 'ASC',
                                   'orderby'            => 'modified',
                                   'paged'              => $paged
                               );
                               // The Query
                               $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );
                               //print_r($wp_query->request);
                               while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post();
                               ?>
                                   <div class="thumb-who">
                                       <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                                       <?php the_post_thumbnail('who-thumb'); ?>
                                       </a>
                                       <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                                       <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
                                       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" id="read-more" rel="bookmark">Read More ></a>
                                   </div>
                               <?php
   
                               endwhile;
                               wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $wp_query ) );
                               wp_reset_postdata();	// avoid errors further down the page
   
                           ?>
       ```
   
 * I get result at [http://www.domain.tld/artists](http://www.domain.tld/artists)
   but get 404 error when I am click on Pagenavi 2
 * But I am get the Page 2 result at [http://domain.tld/?post_type=artistspage&page=2](http://domain.tld/?post_type=artistspage&page=2)
 * I try to add this on my functions.php
 *     ```
       add_action('init', 'event_archive_rewrite');
       function event_archive_rewrite(){
           add_rewrite_rule('^artists/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?','index.php?post_type=artistspage&page=$matches[2]','top');
       }
       ```
