Creating a New Page Temple (for custom post type)

[Joe]

Hello,

I'm totally new to Genesis and not had much experience of theme development so bear with me please!

I'm using the Magazine Pro child theme.

I'm setting up a new site and created a new custom post type.

Now I want to create a page that lists all those custom post types, like you would when you create a page called 'blog' with the regular post type.

I created a copy of the page.php from the Genesis directory, and was going to add this line to it:
<?php query_posts( 'post_type=games'); ?>

but the file didn't really contain anything apart from genesis();

Can anyone give me some pointers on where to find the right file to use as my template for displaying the new post type?

Thanks

You don't need to create a template for the archive listing. When you created the custom post type as long as you set the:

    'has_archive'        => true,
    'rewrite'            => array( 'slug' => 'games' ),

Then just visit the permalinks page to activate the new custom post type - Dashboard>Settings>Permalinks

Then go to http://mydomain.com/games/ and you should see the archive listing of all the posts of that CPT.
