ERROR: "archive of your theme is missing custom fields"

    Hi guys,

    A sudden Types plugin error has rendered HUNDREDs of custom post type pages on my WordPress website 404 Page Not Found!

    Inside the single custom post edit, it shows this error (custom post type is Reviews in my case)

    “The Reviews archive of your theme is missing custom fields.”

    Mind you, I have had archive-reviews.php in place for years and it has rendered fine without a problem. So now why is it suddenly asking for it?

    I saw in your paid forums that this error is “nothing” and to just add a line to the functions.php to disable it. The problem is, it is likely because of this error that HUNDREDS of custom posts on my website are suddenly 404’s. So maybe it is nothing for you, but a huge headache for me in lost ad revenue.

    What do I do now? I can’t wait until your next version comes out. I need a solution now. So please tell me how to fix it so that my pages can display.

    Thank you,
    Sonal

    By the way, I’ve already tried adding the “add_filter(‘types_information_table’, ‘__return_false’);” line to functions.php as suggested in your forums, but it only takes away the error notice, doesn’t do anything to resolve the 404’s.

    The “error” you mention is not an error.

    It’s a feature.
    We added this “Front End Display Box” so to make it easier to control, create and manage your Types, Archives, Layouts and more.
    Most of those sections apply to Views and Layouts (paid plugins)

    You can remove the Box by mentioned Filter. Again, this does not take away a error, but the Front End Display Box.

    404 is not generated by this Box.
    Most likely, there is a problem with Permalinks.

    Please re-save them in Settings > Permalink.

    Single Posts throwing an 404 also is not related to Archives.

    Can you visit your Single Posts when you go to the Single Post Edit screen and click on the Link of the Post?

    If so, probably the Links from the Archives on your FRONT-END are linking to wrong URL’s.

    I would need a bit more information in that case.

    1. Does the issue also persist with a WordPress Default Theme and NO Plugins BUT the Types Plugin?

    If not, could you then re-enable the Plugins one after the other, and check the issue each time you enable a plugin?
    Please report me when the issue comes back
    It might also be due to the Theme.
    Please do reactivate your Theme only after you are sure the issue isn’t coming form a 3rd Party Plugin.

    2. Can you show me a faulty Post?

    3. Can you share ScreenShots of the Permalink Setting, your Post Type setting, and the Post Edit backend?

    4. Can you show me the Code you use in the Archive where you link to the Single Posts?
