force template not working

function force_archive_template($template){
    if( is_archive() ) {
        // Set this to the template file inside your plugin folder
        $template = WP_PLUGIN_DIR .'/'. plugin_basename( dirname(__FILE__) ) .'/archive-final_decisions_cpt.php';
    }
    // Always return, even if we didn't change anything
    return $template;
}

add_filter( 'template_include', 'force_archive_template' ) ;

The above code is being used to force use a template from my plugin as opposed to the theme. It works fine for one site in a network of three. The page can not be found for the other two sites. I also tempted to zip and use plugin in another network of sites and the page could not be found at all. Help please
