How to show all CPT posts in one page?

Question

How can I show all the CPT ( Custom Post Type ) posts in one single page? I can view a single CPT post using single-{CPT name}.php file but I am unable to use the archive-{CPT name}.php

I have a CPT as DProject and lets say I have one CPT post SPINNER

www.localhost.com/DProject/SPINNER is visible just like single post but what I want is

www.localhost.com/DProject to show all the CPT posts in one single page just like default post using index.php and the loop.

Please Help.

I think you can do this if you think through how the template hierarchy works carefully enough.

• archive-post.php should handle your standard post post types
• archive.php would then handle the rest of the archives
• You may want specialized category-- category.php
• or tag archives-- tag.php

A similar pattern should work for single post display.

• single-post.php should handle your single post post type
• single.php should handle everything else
