Post Type Archive Pages
This plugin provides the ability to have a normal post edit screen which can be used for the post type archive pages. One of the problems with post type archive views in WordPress, is that there is no where to edit the content of this page in WordPress e.g. page title.
The plugin adds a menu item in the WordPress admin for each post types which is marked as having an archive when it was registered. When this menu item is clicked it gives a normal post edit screen where users can add a title and content as well as a featured image. These can then be output on the post type archive pages.
