ArchticFrame provides a structured way to build content-managed archive pages for custom post types.
Normally, WordPress archive pages are controlled entirely by theme templates.
This makes it difficult for editors to manage archive content or layouts without modifying theme files.
ArchticFrame solves this by introducing Archive Pages.
An Archive Page is an internal content object that represents the archive content for a custom post type.
Editors can build archive layouts using:
- Gutenberg blocks
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
- custom metadata
- reusable blocks
These Archive Pages are automatically linked to their corresponding custom post type archives.
The archive content can then be rendered within archive templates using simple helper functions.
Archive Pages behave like editable landing page content while still allowing the archive to display its normal post listings.
