A somewhat ghetto but fast way to do this is to just use get_template_part, for example, get_template_part(‘index’); A better use for it is to grab “parts” of your template and not a whole index, but it still works. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part
I would suggest taking a look at the Template Hierarchy structure to fully understand WHY archive.php overwrites certain pages (although it shouldn’t overwrite search results) If you wanted to go a custom template direction (might be the best way) I would do something like this create a monthly-arcive.php file and paste the following (you can … Read more
Why should you get redirected to the 404 page if you display an author archive without posts? This isn’t the default behavior of WordPress. For example, if you go to the following URL: http://example.com/{permalink_base}/author/{author_name} WordPress calls the author.php template inside your theme folder.

Yes it is possible. You’ll have to write a custom rewrite rule for making the domain.com/cpt/metaboxes url to be accessible. Lets say your cpt is ‘movie’, its single will be accessible as domain.com/movie/slug. Create a new page named ‘Metaboxes’ (slug should be ‘metaboxes’). Add the following code to functions.php. <?php add_action(‘init’, ‘add_my_rule’); function add_my_rule() { … Read more
Lucas Wynne linked some good plugins for such functionalities (I have used Addthis multiple times), however if you’re looking for a plugin-free solution, i’d more likely filter the content in my functions.php file instead of using a shortcode : some pseudo-code function add_content( $content ){ $content .= “<a href=\”facebook\”>FACEBOOK</a>”; return $content; } For more info … Read more
