Thank you AGAIN! It took a while for me to finally sit down and try your suggestions, but now that I have, they worked! Thanks so much.

I do have a couple more questions. First, when I Navigate to mysite.com/posttype, the title on the page is “Blog Archives.” I want to be able to change this. How do I do it?

Second, I want to create a page that’s in my navigation menu at the top of my website pages, and has the new posts that I’ve created. I have a menu option called “Articles” that is drawing from the posts, and does so by having “blog” selected as the template in the page attributes section of the page. There is no title displayed on this page. It simply draws from the posts. I want to create a page with my new post types, but there’s no new template to select such that I can create a page that draws from my new post type I’ve just created, which I’m assuming would draw from mysite.com/posttype.

I guess the main question is, how do I make a new page that I can put in my navigation bar, draw from the new post types, and have a new title (or none at all like my Articles page)?

Thanks!

Thanks for trying to help me so quickly! I apologize if I seem “dense” compared to many on this forum.

When you say this, are you speaking of setting the “has archive” option in “advanced options” for the settings to “true?” If so, I get “page not found” when navigating to the posttype.

I’m guessing that when I create a page to list these posts, on the “add new page” screen, I need to select a template that allows for these posts to show up. The only templates showing in my drop down menu are “default,” “blog,” “home” or “one column, no sidebar.”

One thing I think is happening here is that I don’t have access to my server. I am not even sure what my host is. My website creator/graphic designer set me up, and while I have access to add things to WordPress, I am noticing that some things require one to add a .php file to the server. I started discovering this as I was learning to integrate social media with my site and for pinterest, I was asked to verify my website by posting a file to the server. I couldn’t do that, not knowing where to post it. I was reading about creating page templates, and noticing that one creates the template in a text editor, and then loads that into the host, I’m guessing as an .html file (since there’s not an option to save as .php), and then it will show up as a .php in my templates list for further editing.

Perhaps I’m just “dangerous” enough to try things, but without access to my host, I can’t really do as much as I’d like. I have an e-mail in to my developer to get access, but haven’t heard from him in a week. A bit frustrating!

Thanks so much for trying, and I’m open to any suggestions….assuming I’ve made sense. Speak “slowly,” as I’m not up on the lingo! LOL!

Thanks!
