Show index and not the archive for "Dog Custom Post" with default slug

Question

When creating a Custom Post, in my case with the name dogs and slug dogs, at the url www.example.com/dogs Wordpress shows by default the archive page if has_archive is set to true

I don't want to deactivate the archive functionality for this CPT, because I would like to have an archive to show animals no more available at the shelter and manually archived.

How can I take advantage of the clean url www.example.com/dogs for showing the index loop? And showing the archive in another location like www.example.com/archive/dogs?

Answer 1

Seems like I just need to set has_archive to a string instead of true with the desired slug, in my case archive/dogs.

Then, create a page with the dogs slug and set the desired template to it.
