CPT Archives
A WordPress plugin to manage post type archive titles, descriptions, and permalink slugs from the dashboard.
Requires: WordPress 4.0+ & PHP 5.4+
Description
CPT Archives allows for editing a post type's archive properties by registering a new cptarchive custom post type that's connected to the post type (that's a mind bender). In fact, since it's really nothing more than a CPT, it can be further extended with plugins to add meta boxes for customizing your archive pages in new and interesting ways. By default, archive titles, descriptions and permalinks can be managed through a familiar interface.
Another benefit is that a new "Archive" section appears on the Appearance → Menus screen, making it easy to add your post type archives to a menu without using a custom link. Even if your archive slug is changed, you won't have to update the URL in your menu.
Example of an Edit Archive screen. The archive title, description and permalinks can all be updated.
Usage
To register archive support for an existing post type, add a quick snippet to your theme's functions.php file or in a custom plugin like this:
