Custom Post Type Permalink

Question

I have a custom post types called "Emily Davies," "Gemma Patel," and "Poppy Smythe," And I'd like to be access its archives by going to ".../emily_davies" ".../gemma_patel" and ".../poppy_smythe". Emily Davies works, but for some reason the last two don't. They just show 404 error. I have archive-emily_davies.php, archive-gemma_patel.php, abd archive-poppy_smythe.php.

I have this code in my functions.php, and my permalink setting is set to be '/%category%/%postname%/'

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type(){

register_post_type( 'emily_davies',

Have you tried refreshing the permalinks?

Visit the permalinks page, and hit save - this SHOULD solve the issue if the CPT's are working properly in every other aspect.
