In response to your comment, $wp_query->current_post in action. Note that it’s zero-indexed: <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if($wp_query->current_post==0): echo “this is the first post”; else: echo “this is post number ” . ($wp_query->current_post + 1); endif; endwhile; endif; ?>

You named the custom post type ‘custom_about_post’ not ‘about’. Rename the archive template to archive-custom_about_post.php or better: rename the post type. As a rule of thumb: Avoid underscores in post type names. There are/were some issues, especially with templates. And why do you need a custom post type just for about pages? What’s your goal?
wp_get_archives already have post_type=”post” by default and to replace it try this: add_filter(‘getarchives_where’,’my_archives_filter’); function my_archives_filter($where_clause) { str_replace( “post_type=”post”” , “post_type=”page”” , $where ); } in sidebar: add_filter(‘getarchives_where’,’my_archives_filter’); wp_get_archives(‘type=yearly’); remove_filter (‘getarchives_where’,’my_archives_filter’);
The current page number is set by the main query, not by your embedded sub-query. Also, you really should not create a second query, alter the main query instead with a filter on pre_get_posts. add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘add_custom_type_to_tag_archive’ ); function add_custom_type_to_tag_archive( $query ) { if ( ! is_main_query() or ! is_tag() ) return $query; $query->set( ‘post_type’, … Read more
Have a look at the orderby parameters for WP_Query to see all of the valid values that can be. If wpcf-start-time is a meta key, then orderby should be meta_value, which will also require you set a meta_key argument to tell WP what meta key you want to order on- } elseif ($q->is_post_type_archive(‘cif-events’)) { $q->set(‘orderby’, … Read more
Try to use this, <?php wp_get_archives( array( ‘type’ => ‘monthly’, ‘limit’ => 12 ) ); ?> Refer to the codex for further customisation,
add_filter( ‘template_include’, ‘wpsites_cpt_archive_page_template’, 99 ); function wpsites_cpt_archive_page_template( $template ) { if ( is_post_type_archive() ) { $new_template = locate_template( array( ‘your-cpt-template.php’ ) ); if ( ” != $new_template ) { return $new_template ; } } return $template; } Try this in your functions file. You can add your post types to this line like this: if … Read more
You can do that with two ways. 1. You can modify the WordPress main query to force WordPress to show posts older than 30 days on archive pages and on blog page, show posts before 30 days. You can limit posts with the help of date_query. Paste this function in your functions.php file. This should … Read more
There was a new function introduced in WordPress 4.1 called the_archive_title() which does just that. You can simply add the_archive_title() in your archive page. If you need to filter the output, see my answer here on how to accomplish that
