Genesis CPT Archive Settings Field For Posts Per Page

This code adds a sortable meta box to any custom post type archive.

Here’s a demo showing how the field enables you to set posts per page for the portfolio CPT archive page :

This solution is coded using existing functions which support adding metaboxes in Genesis, therefore, only works in Genesis child themes and contains less code than is normally required to code a metabox in WordPress.

Genesis functions used in this code are :

genesis_cpt_archives_settings_metaboxes
genesis_settings_sanitizer_init
genesis_cpt_archive_settings_defaults

Also uses spl_autoload_register to register the function which loads the PHP class for the metabox.

What’s Included

1. Code to create a custom post type named portfolio with single, archive and taxonomy templates for the portfolio CPT.
2. Sortable metabox for setting posts per page on CPT archives.
