So basically, I have a page that is a custom archive showing a list of posts on it. The only issue is, the client wants to be able to edit the actual archive page content itself (image and title), not just the content of the posts. All of this needs to be able to be done inside the dashboard so that its easy for the client.
Is there any way i can make is so that the archive page’s custom template will show up in the “pages” tab? Or is editable via the dasbhoard at all?
Thanks!

Making it a taxonomy and allowing the client to edit the term title & description would be an option I’d consider.
The theme may or may not be using a custom template-file to control the cpt-archive’s front-end.
Using a page-template would be ill-advised because by loading the post-type and the page at the same url, problems can arise.
Using theme-options would be a good way. Having a theme option in combination with a custom archive-template for the post-type archive could do it.
