How can I get WordPress CPT archives and page templates to work with prettified permalink settings?

I’d try two things first:

  1. Make sure you have flushed the permalinks ( Settings – Permalinks – Update )
  2. Make sure you are using an init action hook to create your custom post types (I’ve forgotten to do this before and had the type of issue you describe)

If that fails, I’d recommend updating your question to include the full declaration of at least one of your custom post types and show the action you are using to set it up.
