The ghost slot just does not appear on half the archer posts. Then one that was not working earlier will start to work but others will stop. Moved one archer off of one to place on another and both stopped working.
remove the melee weapon

NPC cannot be placed on archer posts if they don’t have a bow. Maybe that’s the reason.
Unlcear if melee weapons pose a problem. I have NPCs at archer posts with bows and melee weapons - can be put there just fine. Saw one even draw her spear when an enemy came close. So… seems to work fine.
For me the archer posts are working but the thralls themselves become bugged after using them. I’ve found when putting a Fighter thrall (with a bow) on an Archer Post but later removing them, returning their melee weapon and using as a normal follower, I noticed they lose the ability to move and become rooted when they draw their melee weapon, kinda like the script that disables movement for archers at an archer post bleeds over and remains even after removal from the post.
I’ve tested this with several thralls now and every one of them that was once used on an archer post gains this bug that causes them to be unable to move during combat. They can still attack if something walks directly up to them, they just cannot move to engage on their own.

i had problems with an archer with a bow, i was able to place it , once i removed the sword and only the bow was there.
i second that, please fill a bug report mate 
Check their tactics setting. Sounds like stand your ground setting.
Good catch. That is exactly what it was.
Well, either I’m rrrrrrreally smart, or I had a very similar event yesterdays and just pretended to have big brainz. 
Thanks, i had the same problem, that fixed it.
Ive not found any archer posts yet.
With further testibg
I found out that you don’t need to remove melee weapon , you have to Open their inventorry so the bow shows in their back. (Sheated) once that happens you can move the archer to the archer post.
It’s a bug , with easy workaround.
Crazy. Had no issue placing them on the first day, no matter what weapons they had on. THen they stopped working. Now if I take away any melee weapons they work. So if an enemy makes it up to an archer post the archer will not fight them?
What exactly is the difference between using stand and defend over the archer post? Like what does it do?
