 * Hello,
 * I am currently making a custom template where I have a news archive page (archive-
   news.php) and a single page (single-news.php).
 * I would like to have the url localhost/mysite/news/2014/ for the archive page.
 * Then for each single page I have a 4 digit number for the page name.
 * So the archive page url would be localhost/mysite/news/2014/
    The single page
   would be localhost/mysite/news/2014/####
 * I tried inputing in localhost/news/%year%/%postname%/ with has_archive: true /
   with_front: true
 * This works for each single page, they will show up as an example: localhost/mysite/
   news/2014/0001
 * The problem is localhost/mysite/news/2014/ won’t go to the archive-news
