I've been getting a 404 error on a CPT archive page, and am not sure why. I can go to the page set for the custom post type archive, but the next page /mycustomposttype/page/2 gets a 404 error.
I don't think that there's anything wrong with my code and I've flushed my permalink rules and I think that the CPT is registered correctly. But my code is below. Any insights would be greatly appreciated since I can't see why the pages are not being found.
