Custom post type archive page return blank

Question

I created a CPT with slug plist via cutom plugin I made.

In my local host the archive work but in live server it return blank page.

Here is the archive page code

/**
 * Add Price List archive template
 * @since    1.0.0
*/
add_filter( 'archive_template', 'get_plist_archive_template' ) ;
function get_plist_archive_template( $archive_template ) {
     global $post;

     if ( is_post_type_archive ( 'plist' ) ) {
          $archive_template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '\partials\archive-plist.php';
     }
     return $archive_template;
}

Also this may help:

/**

 * @since    1.0.0
*/
if ( ! function_exists('price_item_post_type') ) {
    add_action( 'init', 'price_item_post_type', 0 );
    // Register Custom Post Type
    function price_item_post_type() {

        $labels = array(

        );
        register_post_type( 'plist', $args );

    }

}

I tried flush_rewrite_rules() and it didn't work.

First thing you need to make sure is that your custom post type has archive enabled in the code. To do this, you need to go to your custom post type code (can be found in your theme’s functions.php file or site-specific plugin file). You need to make sure that you have has_archive argument set to be true.

An example code would look like this:

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
    register_post_type( 'plist',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'plist' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'plist' )
            ),
        'public' => true,
        'has_archive' => true,
        )
    );
}
