[wp-hackers] Custom Post Type Archives

[Erick Hitter]

Daniel,

That is a reference to a method in the class I lifted the code from. I
should have removed it before I put the code on PasteBin. You should replace
that with an array of the post types you wish to add date-based archives to.
I updated the code and added a note regarding the array for that loop.
