Conflict with blog post categories

did you set rewrite slug values for your “trip categories” taxonomy to something like “category” ?

I’m curious if you have a conflict the standard category taxonomy where like your grand canyon link above is trying to find “grand canyon” from the “category” tax and not finding any matching terms.

The rewrite slug on the taxonomy is “trip-categories”, so there shouldn’t be a conflict there.

I’m not sure that I understand your second question but when I look under Posts > Categories there are 11 posts with the slug of “grand-canyon”.

Hmm.

Any chance you would be willing to visit your CPTUI tools area share the blobs of content on the right side of the “post types” and “taxonomies” tabs? It’d allow me to import your settings as is. I’m curious what may or may not be going on. I don’t have immediate answers here.

Here you go:

Thanks.

As is, I’m not managing to recreate the issues, and that’s not trying to say you’re not experiencing them. Just that there are likely going to be other factors playing their parts in what’s going on, that I don’t have the ability to recreate.

Unsure if you have a test copy of the site that you’re able to recreate the issue on, and thus also safely potentially debug what’s going on and why with these queries and results.

I was able to resolve the problem, which was self-inflicted. It was part of a block of code in functions.php that was being used to display archives in a grid. Thanks for looking into it.

Ahh. Darn self gotchas. Glad you got it figured out, nonetheless.
