How to make an archive page for a custom post type using Elementor pro

Creating custom post types in WordPress is a great way to add new content types to your website. In WordPress you generally have only posts or pages. We can extend this with CPT (Custom Post Types). So to have a unique new group of articles with custom fields and taxonomies.

In WordPress these groups of articles are displayed on the Archive page as a list and have a single page for each post. As an example posts are displayed on archive.php and have single.php.

Lets say I have a my Web Design studio website and I want to make a section with all of the employees. With a personal page for each one and and archive page where everyone is listed.

In this tutorial we will do a CPT for the employees and two Elementor templates. One to display the Archive and another to display the Personal page
