Actually, this is a common problem. When you add a custom post type, you’re also registering a new rewrite rule with WordPress. However you must flush your rewrite rules after registering things in order to get WordPress to recognize them. With a plugin, this is fixed by hooking your CPT registration to both init (so … Read more
This is challenging, because showing something would require page not to be private. It is more common to leave page public, but make it produce conditional output depending on if user is logged (is_user_logged_in()) in or other criteria.

Found the answer!!! Put this in functions.php (or a required file). Of course, change it to suit your needs.

Try flushing your permalinks (go to Settings > Permalinks and switch to a different default, save, then switch back again to what you were using). Though … Read more
I feel bad for answering my own question on here, but here’s what I did. I created a custom search template, a custom searchform.php and changed my header.php to reflect my custom search page. What I did is rename the search box names to search instead of s to get around WordPress automatically running search.php … Read more
The 404.php template file is used for 404 errors: i.e. no posts found. Since there are no posts, there is no $post object. With no $post object, functions such as the_ID() are not available, and will return the error you’re observing. The fix: replace all instances of $post-derived data with static data. e.g. replace this: … Read more
