I've created a custom archive page for a Post Type. The title of this page simply says, "Archive" and I was wondering if there was somewhere in the archive creator to change that.

Dear michael,

It depends on your theme file, I suggest you check your theme file archive.php (), locate the PHP codes which is for rendering the "Title of Archive Page", and change it as what you want.

More help:

Custom Post Types use the following path to render the appropriate archive index page.

archive-{post_type}.php – If the post type is product, WordPress will look for archive-product.php.
archive.php
index.php

So I have a post type called "Creators" with a slut "creator." I created an archive page called archive-creator.php and put in a custom header. I then created an archive through the Layout editor. In the editor, I didn't see the option to select "archive-creator.php" from the drop down list of WordPress archives (it was empty) so I just created a new one, mocked up my layout and...it worked, so thanks. I guess the WordPress archive drop down is only for those archives I've created via the plugin's system?

I think there is a misunderstanding, if you create a theme file "archive-creator.php", it will be used to render the archive page of post type "creator", please check wordpress document:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#custom-post-types

there isn't any dropdown to select "archive-creator.php", and I did not see any related dropdwon in your screenshots.
