I found the solution.. u just need to use the modulo operator.

5 % 2 = 1
9 % 3 = 0
11 % 7 = 4

<div id="container">
<?php if (have_posts()) : $count = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $count++; ?>
    <?php if($count % 11 == 1) : ?>
    <div class="block bn1">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if($count % 11 == 2) : ?>
    <div class="block bn2">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if($count % 11 == 3) : ?>
    <div class="block bn3">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

    etc....

<?php endwhile; endif;?>
</div>

This will repeat the cycle after the 10th post in the loop by hardcodyng only 10 divs.

Lets say i have some divs that have a certain style and they have to be repeated in the exact same way inside a loop.

HTML:

<div id="container">
    <div class="block bn1">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn2">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn3">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn4">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn5">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn6">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn7">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn8">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn9">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <div class="block bn10">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
</div>

As you can see the block divs have a different bn# that will give a different style to each post

PHP:

What i have achieved so far is not a great solution because i have to hardcode each div in advance.. i need a more dynamic code that will cycle my divs

<div id="container">
<?php if (have_posts()) : $count = 0; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $count++; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 1) : ?>
    <div class="block bn1">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 2) : ?>
    <div class="block bn2">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 3) : ?>
    <div class="block bn3">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 4) : ?>
    <div class="block bn4">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 5) : ?>
    <div class="block bn5">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 6) : ?>
    <div class="block bn6">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 7) : ?>
    <div class="block bn7">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 8) : ?>
    <div class="block bn9">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 9) : ?>
    <div class="block bn9">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 10) : ?>
    <div class="block bn10">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <!== After this point it has to cycle each bn# div ==!>

    <?php if ($count == 11) : ?>
    <div class="block bn1">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 12) : ?>
    <div class="block bn2">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 13) : ?>
    <div class="block bn3">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($count == 14) : ?>
    <div class="block bn4">< ..(this is a post).. ></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

    etc....

<?php endwhile; endif;?>
</div>

I hope i make sense Sumit and thank you for your time.

I added this in functions.php :

register_post_type( 'consumables',
			array(
				'labels' => array(
					'name' => __( 'Consumables' ),
					'singular_name' => __( 'Consumable' )
				),
				    'public' => true,
				    'publicly_queryable' => true,
				    'show_ui' => true,
				    'show_in_menu' => true,
				    'query_var' => true,
				    'rewrite' => true,
				    'capability_type' => 'post',
				    'has_archive' => true,
				    'hierarchical' => false,
				    'menu_position' => null,
				'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
			)
		);

And created the archive-consumables.php template as you said but I can’t find the way to see the result of the template.. what url should a post type archive generate with %Postname% permalinks set in the wordpress options?

I have tried adding archive templates before but I needed a easy way for my client to access and add the archives in the navigation without much frustration, so I enabled categories in the custom post type to make it easier to add in custom menu and it messed my custom tags for good.. that’s why i chose Page Template!

Thanks for your effort man,
i appreciate it!
