Problem with post type archive url

  • Im trying to link to my post archive url but It’s adding the ” ” weird and I cant actually create a link.

    I can loop through and show the titles and the urls with:

    <ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href="[each url]">[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>

    But this isn’t working

  • Try:

    [for type=all]
[pass field=url]
  <li><a href="{FIELD}">[each name]</a></li>
[/pass]
[/for]

    That didn’t work. It’s listing all of the post types with a link, but ALL of the URL’s are to the home page and not the archive page.

    <ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href="[each url]">[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>

    This is the result I get
    https://www.evernote.com/l/ALGwTuizR6lEs7U6dgJ4AOFfGO8S00IqeRM

    The following prints the URL inside of quotes. 

    <ul>
[for type=all]
  <li>[each url]</li>
[/for]
</ul>

    See here:

    If I try the code like this without the quotes on the href like this:

    <ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href=[each url]>[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>

    I get this:

    Any ideas why this happens?

    Would you try it with single quotes?

    I’ve tried that too. Still not working. Is anyone else getting the same results?

    *I hope this would help others as references:

    <ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href=[each url]>[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>

    is wrong if you are posting them through WordPress text editor.

    Always pass vars into a functioning attributes of any HTML element.

    Correct example that works for me: 

    <ul>
[for type=all]
  [set varurl][each url][/set]
  [pass vars]
  <li><a href="{VARURL}">[each name]</a></li>
  [/pass]
[/for]
</ul>

    note: unless you set the ” in the var, otherwise url attribute needs to open&close with ” as it is.

    I also avoid using -/_ when naming set vars eventhough it may not be relevant to the errors I got but not using them fixed my problems so I just consider this as a good practise to go.
