I have a custom post type and I can't access the archive page for it. When I try to it redirects me to the home page. I don't have any taxonomy for it. I have setup an archive-post-type.php template for it though.

I can access the individual posts in that post type.

I've re-saved my permalinks, deleted my htaccess file and resaved my permalinks again. Still redirects. Any ideas?

UPDATE: It's working when I try it in another browser, but Chrome continues to redirect. Cleared my cache, but it's still happening.

Here is my code for my custom post type.

• What URL are you attempting to visit as the archive page? Can you view individual posts in this post type, if so, what is the URL structure? – jdm2112 Commented Jan 3, 2018 at 17:38
• @jdm2112 I'm accessing at /featured-grants . I can access the individual posts in it. They are at /featured-grants/post-name – paper_robots Commented Jan 3, 2018 at 17:40
• What action are you hooked to when you register your post type? – jdm2112 Commented Jan 3, 2018 at 17:48
• @jdm2112 So it's working, but just not in chrome. – paper_robots Commented Jan 3, 2018 at 17:56
