Am I using taxonomies correctly?

    Hi everyone! I have a problem that’s driving me nuts

    I have registered my custom post type in my child theme, with corresponding custom taxonomies

    $args = array(
        'label'               => __( 'articles', 'onepress-child' ),
         
        'taxonomies'          => array( 'publications' ),
        
        'other_stuff'         => {...}
 
    );
    
    register_taxonomy('publications','articles', array(
    	'hierarchical' => false,
    	'labels' => $labels,
    	'show_ui' => true,
    	'show_in_rest' => true,
    	'show_admin_column' => true,
    	'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count',
    	'query_var' => true,
    	'rewrite' => array( ),
  	 ));
    // Registering your Custom Post Type
    register_post_type( 'publications', $args );

    I’ve also made single-articles.php and taxonomy-publications.php

    So far so good, but both localhost/articles and localhost/publications show 404

    Am I correct in saying that localhost/publications should load the taxonomy-publications.php template?

    Solved part of my problem, as localhost/publications/{publisher} now loads using the desired template taxonomy-publications.php

    Is there a way to set a “home page” for the entire taxonomy at localhost/publications that shows articles from all publishers according to a desired template?

    [Edit] Not sure what I did but I broke localhost/articles again ??

    I think you meant to do register_post_type( 'articles', $args );. That’ll probably fix your articles query issue. When you add or change post types or taxonomies, you need to then visit the permalinks settings screen, which causes WP to regenerate its rewrite rules. You don’t need to change or save anything, loading the screen is enough.

    Normally requesting localhost/publications/ wouldn’t yield anything but a 404 page. It’s term requests like localhost/publications/foobar/ where taxonomy-publications.php would be used. If you want all articles shown when localhost/publications/ is requested, I suppose you could rewrite the request to localhost/articles/ in .htaccess.

    I think you meant to do register_post_type( ‘articles’, $args );

    Yes that was definitely a problem ??
    Thank you so much!
