Default Archive Page

[PeterBooker]

Currently, the plugin displays the Testimonials using the archive page on the users website. This would normally be using the archive.php template file, which would not do a job job of displaying the Testimonials. So we use the template_redirect hook to check for an archive-kbte_testimonials.php in the child and parent themes, if none is found it then uses one inside the plugin.

The problem with this is that I cannot predict all formats of HTML and how the CSS is/should be applied to them. This occasionally results in a badly formatted display (for example, the twentythirteen theme).

I would like to attempt a different strategy, which involves checking for a custom archive-kbte_testimonials.php file in the child/parent theme, and if none are found using the page.php from the theme. This would mean I have to parse the data returned from the query, create the page content html output, and then pass this as a single post to the page.php template.

If possible, this should ensure that the default display of Testimonials always fits in with the users theme.
