Help: simple custom archive-slug.php

[grau]

Hi there...

How would a simple, minimal "archive-myslug.php" have to look to show a specific wordpress page instead of the archive of my-slug?

I want the "myslug" archive to simply display a manually set wordpress page. So no archive listing - just the plain wordpress page.

You would use page-slug or page.id.php

Swap out slug with your page slug or id with your page id.

Hi Brad, thank you for your fast response but I'm a little bit confused.

I made a CPT with slug "myslug" and "has_archive" = true but I want to show a page instead of the CPT archive.

So would I create an archive-myslug.php or a page-myslug.php and what must be inside?

My guess ist, genesis(); won't be enough, right?

[Brad Dalton]

archive-cpt.php where cpt is the name of your custom post type

You only need an opening php tag and the genesis loop function like this:

<?php

genesis();

Sorry to bother you Brad,

But the question is: what do I have to put into "archive-cpt.php" to display a "standard wordpress page" and NOT the archive.

I made a wordpress page, let's say ID = 123, and want to display that page with all "modifications" I made to the "genesis-layout" (sidebar, full-width, ...) via the backend to this wordpress page.

genesis(); works but gives me the standard archive view of my CPT - I just want to display that specific "wordpress page" similar to the output of "single.php" instead of the archive loop.

maybe I'd have to play around with wp_query but I don't have a clue how to do it...

Is there no easy way just to make archive.php to output ONE specific wordpress page?
