How to display Custom Post Types (Custom Post Type UI plugin used)

[TraceyR]

Hi there,

I've used the plugin "Custom Post Type UI" to create custom post types on my test site, as I want to show a few products (each one is a separate post).

I've got the taxonomy & post type set up, and have created one custom post, but haven't discovered the way to have them show up in a sort of listings page - is there some PHP or HTML that I can add to a page (or perhaps in the theme function PHP file) to do this?

I have a "Shop" page, which has some code on for a shopping cart, but I also want to display a grid listing of other products not in the shopping cart - all on the same page.

(Note: these aren't products that can go into a shopping cart as they aren't for sale on my site - I'm just displaying them & then linking to other sites)

Any ideas/tips would be much appreciated!
thanks
Tracey

Hey Tracey,

Sounds like you're needing a custom archive template? Can you give a usage example of what type of post types and taxonomies you're wanting to combine on a single page?

This link might help you start thinking about archive templates automatically included in WP: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

Here's another article on creating an archive page for a CPT: http://www.carriedils.com/custom-post-type-archive-template/

Cheers,
Carrie

Hi Carrie,

Thanks for the useful links, much appreciated - I managed to find a way around it that worked ok but the link to the Genesis CPT plugin is useful for future reference!

Many thanks...
Tracey
