Can you tell me where exactly I can set the query argument to only query for top level posts? I have to say I do not know which file in Filezilla contains the code that generates the custom post type archive page?

The template file is probably generated by Headway Theme as Headway is a ‘drag and drop’ theme with an interface. I have very limited coding skills.

An alternative solution which I tried is that I actually got the menu to work by inserting a ‘custom code block’ within Headway containing the following code

<h1> Kennisbank</h1><p></p>

<?php
$args = array(
  'depth'=> 1,
  'post_type'=>'kennisbank',
  'title_li'=> __('Kennisbank')
  );
wp_list_pages( $args );
?>

However, this results in a list without styling and where it is not ‘visually integrated’ with the other pages of my website. I looked on ‘styling wp_list_pages’ with css, but I don’t have any clue.

Any input from your side would be great. Thanks a lot for your posting:)

PS. This is the link to my custom post type archive page: https://bit.ly/1wG3IQs

You can see from the child article pages of my custom post type ‘kennisbank’ how the page shoud visually look.

I am not that experienced with developing websites, so I try my best to explain this well:

https://fourhourbody.nl/kennisbank/ this is my custom post type archive page

it currently lists both parent and child pages, and I only want this archive page to display parent pages.

As I understand it, the listing of the posts here is generated by some code like wp_list_pages ( something )

Now my problem is, I don’t know how to adapt the existing list as such that the layout (including the custom bullet points) do not change, but only that the parent pages are listed. As I am using Headway themes to create my website, I assume that the function.php is ‘generated’ by Headway, and I think I have to create a child theme and then add or eliminate some code to make this adaption? I rather solve this within Headway without changing code or creating a child theme. Is this possible?

Hopefully I expressed this clear enough:)

Hi Michael and Jessi,

By finding this great post I came close to the solution, but not yet completely.

I have an archive page that lists only the parent posts. I created the custom post type with your plugin custom post type UI. As my site works on headway them and I control my css and visual styling from there, is there anything you can suggest?

Hi Michael,

Not sure whether this is tackled somewhere but can’t find the solution after loooong hours of searching.

I used the plugin Custom Post Types UI to create a custom post type. Now a new archive page has been created. Then I created posts and child posts that are assigned to their parent post.

Now, on the archive page, both the parent posts and the child posts are displayed in a list (this is a list of the posts that I created). Is there a way to display only the parent posts and not the child posts?

Many thanks for your reply:)

Fred

I have the same problem with the twenty ten theme.
twenty ten does not have content.php but loop.php instead.
I suspect that I have to change a similar thing, but can’t find it. I have searched a lot of forums for a solution of displaying the featured image left of the text i.e. wrapping the text aroudn the feautred image but haven’t found anything that worked. Any ideas?
