Clicking the "filed under" category….no posts

    Thank you for your wonderful plugin. I am new to custom post types so please bear with me! It’s all working very well except for one behavior I just noticed. My custom posts are each assigned to a category and they each also have tags.

    So underneath the custom post (when viewed on the front end of the site) it says
    Filed Under: Recent Cases [that’s one of my categories]
    Tagged: foo, zoo, etc. [those are tags]

    If I click on any tag, I get a list of posts with that tag. If I click on the category “Recent Cases” I get “Sorry, no content matched your criteria.”

    If I create a regular WordPress post and assign it to that category, and then go back to the custom post and click the category “Recent Cases” then the WordPress post comes up.

    Is this making sense? ?? Thanks for any light you can shed on my problem.

    Sounds like there’s part that isn’t including the custom post type in the query. It’s not something I’m going to be able to debug from my end, and it’s not something that our code directly influences. We simply do the registration of the post types and taxonomies with the selected options. We don’t try to alter display of anything.

    Sorry to intrude but I am having the exact same problem with categories…I click the categories and they do not show the posts with the created post types.. It is as if wordpress does not consider other post types when showing the categories..

    Thank you, Michael. So you think maybe my theme is mucking that up?

    That’s my theory. Like I said, I don’t have access to the website to check myself, but I do wonder if the category archives are querying for posts in all the applicable post types.

    Maybe try domain.com/my-cpt-slug/my-category-slug/ and see if that’s returning things.
