I created a custom post type and I would like to list the posts. I choosed page template with custom query instead of the archive-xy.php to list the posts because the user would like to edit the content on the page. The custom query is works, but If I create a page with slug XY and I open the page the template not works, I see the the default layout (index.php). I renamed it for example to xy-2 and it works.

Is it possible to disable the domain.com/xy, because It's using the blog layout? (because no archive-xy.php).

do you need more info, or is it clear? – Rinoleti Feb 27 at 13:14
No, it is not at all clear. – s_ha_dum Feb 27 at 14:04
So, I created a custom post type with the "career" slug. After that I created a page template with my custom layout for this post type, and with a custom query. Everything works, the template list my posts. But.. If I type domain.com/career to the browser I see the posts but the layout is different, because It's using the index.php file for layout. I know I can create archive-career.php with my custom layout, but It's not perfect for me because I can't edit the content. So I don't want my visitors, to see domain.com/career only domain.com/career-page what is a page, with a page template – Rinoleti Feb 27 at 14:18

'has_archive' => false and everything works.

Please explain why that could solve the problem. – toscho♦ Feb 28 at 14:04
because I can create a page with career slug, if this value is true everytime when I opened domain.com/career I saw the layout for the normal blog posts, it used the index.php template. – Rinoleti Feb 28 at 16:08

btw I don't know why if I rename the page's slug to career2, and i open domain/career2 it redirects me to /career – Rinoleti Feb 28 at 16:14
