Add settings page to choose a page to render at the top of an archive page.
Allows you to use the archive page template for a post type, but render block editor content and set the page title.
Clone or download this repository and add it to the wp-content/plugins directory.
Go to Settings > Archive Pages and choose a page to set as the archive page for your custom post type.
Once an archive page is selected, get_the_archive_title() will return the title from the selected page, and get_the_archive_description() will return the post content from the selected page.
If you want to directly access the selected archive page for a post type you can do so like this:
// Replace "my-cpt" with your custom post type slug
get_option('archive_page_my-cpt');
