Add date archives to WordPress custom post types

Plugin Description

Add Date archives to custom post types right in the dashboard itself. This plugin also provides widgets and editor blocks to display archives, calendars and recent posts. This allows you to use this plugin as a super simple events calendar.

Features:

• Adds a date archives submenu for each custom post type
• Adds the rewrite rules needed for viewing the date archives
• Adds widgets and editor blocks for archives, calendars and recent posts
• Allows you to publish scheduled posts with future dates like normal posts
• Allows you to use specific theme templates files for cpt date archives
• Adds WP Rest API endpoints for archives, calendar and recent posts

WordPress doesn't support date archives for custom post types out of the box. This plugin adds the rewrite rules needed to view the date archives at a pretty permalink.

Example permalink (url) for a custom post type events date archive.

https://example.com/events/2015/06/12

The calendar, archive and recent posts widget are similar to the existing WordPress widgets, but with extra (post type) options added.

The cpt date archives use the same theme template files as the normal WordPress date archives. Extra template files and template functions are available for use in the custom post type date archives.

Notice Custom post types must be registered to have archives and be publicly queryable for this plugin to add the date archives.
