 * Hi, I have create a CPT with your plugin. I like it ! nice plugin ! But now I’m
   looking for a description page archive, and I don’t found :
    On the front office
   archive page (home of CPT) I just want to have a description, than I can change
   from the front office. Like a “taxonomy” (sub-page of CPT) but with just rich
   text. Can you help me pleased ?
 * thanks

 * Hmm, definitely not something our plugin covers at all, so it’s not a spot we
   have available in CPTUI.
 * I don’t know how to best provide suggestions for you, as I don’t know how comfortable
   you are with things. Some general ideas:
 * * edit the archive template file directly, but that wouldn’t provide a rich text
   editor like you see in a post editor.
    * Create a page/post dedicated for this,
   and query for it at the top of the archive template file for this post type. 
   Caveat in that you need to know how to code the fetching. * Create an options
   page that can provide a rich text editor to save a value to an option, and fetch
   that value for display at the top of the archive template file. This is very 
   similar to the 2nd bullet point in this list, but different place where the text
   value is stored.

 * Thanks you.. You should be include this option in your plugin, you don’t think?

 * We don’t try to make CPTUI the end-all, be-all for post types and taxonomies.
   We focus on providing a UI that collects user-set values for the arguments for
   the `register_post_type()` and `register_taxonomy()` functions, with some added
   features regarding those saved settings. At best, we’d maybe make that type of
   thing available via our premium [CPTUI-Extended](https://pluginize.com/plugins/custom-post-type-ui-extended/)
   plugin, but at the moment, we’d need to add that as a feature.
