    Hello,

    I have created a Members CPT, but when I add it to my navigation menu for my front/home page, it displays the CPT form instead of the CPT member archive.

    I'm running Blocksy Pro with Metabox AIO, Code Snippet and Woocommerce. All my plugins are up-to-date. I've doubled and triple checked that I'm adding the Member Archive through the Blocksy Menu Customizer, so I'm not sure where to go from here.

    Can you tell me how to get the archive to display?

    Also as an fyi,

    If I edit a member or add a new member post from the backend Admin Menu, I can't view the member post. (I get a page can't be found). If I add the "Single" to my home page navigation menu, I also receive a page can't be found error.

    In case it's helpful, the CPT settings I used are listed below.

    Thanks for the help.

    As an update to my original post. I deleted the page with my form shortcode. The navigation for the Member Archive is now displaying page not found instead of the member form. Also, all of my code snippets have been toggled off.

    Thanks.

    Hello KG,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I suggest you change the CPT slug to another one like member123, re-save the permalink setting Post Name and see if it helps.

    Hi Peter,

    I thought I should backup my site before I made the change you suggested. Since I'm running Local WP, instead of installing a backup plugin, I tried cloning my site. As it turns out, when I checked the cloned site, the Member Archive and Member Single were working fine. In other words, I didn't need to change the CPT slug.

    Do you have any ideas what might have caused the issue and/or point me in a direction on what I need to be investigating so I prevent the issue in the future?

    Appreciate it,

    KG
