Post and Custom Post categories

It sounds like you’re arriving at the archives for the tags, but the post type posts you set up aren’t shown in that archive.

I’d give this documentation page a readover and try out the code there.

If you need any help with that code, let me know.

Thank you for the answer! It works as expected. I have one question though, I have a custom field (using Advanced Custom Fields) in my custom post type called “Available”, how can I make only posts that have Available:yes appear on the archive? Because with that code all custom posts appear.

I figure I need to use something like this:
$query->query_vars[“meta_key”] = ‘available’;
$query->query_vars[“meta_value”] = ‘yes’;

And modify this part of the code:
$query->set(
‘post_type’,
array_merge(
array( ‘post’ ),
$cptui_post_types
)
);

but where exactly?

If my previous experience tells me anything, I think you’d use the $query->set() method to set a meta_query parameter.

Similar to this from the WP_Query codex page:

$args = array(
	'post_type'  => 'product',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key'     => 'color',
			'value'   => 'blue',
			'compare' => 'NOT LIKE',
		),
	),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

You would do something like:

$query->set(
    'meta_query',
    array( array( 'key' => 'available', 'value' => 'yes' ) )
);

Worth a try at least ??
