 * Hi,
 * I created a custom post type using the type plugin ([http://wp-types.com/home/types-manage-post-types-taxonomy-and-custom-fields/](http://wp-types.com/home/types-manage-post-types-taxonomy-and-custom-fields/))
   trouble is when i go to the archive page I can’t get the category Title to display
   and there’s no archive.php file to edit – how do I get the display the custom
   post types’ posts on a page with a title and intro paragraph?
 * many thanks.

 * Hi cleverthinking,
 * please provide your URL with an example of how the archive with the custom post
   type is displaying.

 * you’ll see that the title is displaying the title of teh top post rather than
   the archive title..

 * We’ve just tested this and the issue doesn’t occur in the [premium version](http://www.mhthemes.com/themes/mh/magazine/)
   of the theme. But MH Magazine _lite_ has an older codebase and we will add better
   support for custom post types with the next update.
 * In the meanwhile you can modify the theme as you like. You can find the code 
   that handles the page title as function `mh_page_title()` in the file _functions.
   php_. You could add for example a [conditional](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)
   to handle your custom post type.
