Is this even possible. I’d like to add some fields to the top level page of a custom post type called Events. I want a couple of fields to drive some information on the Events page, the one that is a feed that works like a blog page.
The only problem page is how do I set the location parameters. But also, more importantly, since there is no page called “Events” technically where there is an edit screen, how do I accomplish this.
For the blog I just go to /blog or what ever that page is, but with a custom post type, that page does not seem to exist in the WP back-end.
I am puzzled by this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
No, you are right, there is no editor in WP that allows you to edit this page. This is where I use ACF options pages. I create an options page that appears under the custom post type menu in the admin and then I add fields to this options page. Then I can edit, in your case, archive-events.php, to use the fields.
