<p>Custom Post Archives bridges the gap between creating Custom Post Types in WordPress 3, and actually displaying those posts. With this plugin, you have<br />
the option of displaying a completely seperate blog-like section for each post type, complete with all the features you expect to see with WordPress.</p>
<p>For each custom post type, if you click “active” and enter a slug-name, this plugin will let you display post-type specific:</p>
<ul>
<li>Archives</li>
<li>Date archives</li>
<li>Author archives</li>
<li>Category archives</li>
<li>RSS Feeds</li>
</ul>
<p>This plug-in also provides many additional features to fully integrate your custom post types, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds a menu option to the new menu section created in WordPress 3 (for themes that support it)</li>
<li>Combined archives (http://www.mysite.com/type1+type2/)</li>
<li>Option to add post types to default blog</li>
<li>Option to add post types to default RSS feed</li>
<li>Adds post type support to wp_get_archives function</li>
<li>Adds multiple global functions and filters for working with custom post types (see Functions and Filters or Plugin Help for details)</li>
<li>Automatically displays the associated post type on custom taxonomy archives</li>
<li>Extends upon the WordPress templating, allowing for flexibility by theme authors (see FAQ or Plugin Help for details)</li>
<li>Automatically flushes the rewrite cache after modifications are detected</li>
<li>Automatically adds a “blog-{post_type}” type class to the body of the created archives (for themes that implement body_class())</li>
</ul>

<p>The CC-Cache plugin supports caching of Posts, Pages, and any public Custom Post Types – including single and archive pages.<br />
It also supports a “static page display” option: Front page, Posts page, and standard Latest Posts listing.<br />
This plugin is compatible with Multisite WordPress installations.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>When a user (i.e. someone who is logged out of WordPress) opens a page for the first time, the plugin saves all the rendered html to a file in the wp-content/cache directory.<br />
From this moment onwards, any user who accesses the site will be served content directly from the generated html file. WordPress at this point is not initialized for this page.<br />
The generated cache file will be removed when you make changes to the corresponding Post/Page, and then the process starts from the beginning.<br />
You can also clear all cached files from the Cache options page (visit the ‘Settings > Cache’ page in wp-admin), or manually delete files from the wp-content/cache directory.</p>
<h4>Tips & Tricks</h4>
<p>You can check if a page’s content is served from a cache file by opening the page’s source code in the browser and scrolling down to the closing <code><body></code> html tag.<br />
If the content is cached, you should see a comment with the date and time the page was last cached, for example:<br />
    </p>
<p>You can disable cache for a single request and get the raw html by adding <code>cache=false</code> to a URL’s parameter, for example:<br />
    http://example.com/?cache=false</p>
<p>You can disable cache for a single request and get the raw html by adding <code>cache=false</code> HTTP header.</p>
<p>Logged-in users always get the raw html.</p>
<h4>Ideas for future versions</h4>
<ol>
<li>Add support for Categories, Tags, Taxonomies, and Authors.</li>
<li>Add support for RSS/Atom feeds.</li>
<li>Add support for Nginx and IIS servers.</li>
<li>Add support for other WordPress Filesystem Methods.</li>
<li>Add regenerate function for all cache files.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ol>
<li>Apache server</li>
<li>mod_rewrite</li>
<li>Write access to wp-content/cache directory</li>
<li>PHP interpreter version >= 5.3</li>
</ol>
