Not working on CPT category archive page

  • Hello,

    I have PM working and a popup with ‘On Entire Site’ checked.

    It works on the home page, sub pages, posts, cpt archive page, however it is not working on a custom post type category page at all.

    For example, I have a custom post type ‘instructors’ and categories of ‘bass’, ‘guitar’, ‘piano’, ‘drums’.

    The Popup Maker code is on the category.php template which is the page/template it is not working on.

    If I go to https://example.com/category/bass/, the button to call the popup is there but the popup does not pop up.

    There are no js or php errors on the page.

    This is only on a local install so no example link.

    @joshuaiz – Have you enabled support for your custom taxonomy via the Popup Maker -> Settings page?

    I enabled support for the custom post type, in my case ‘pp_instructors’ but getting this message:

    Supported Taxonomies? The callback function used for the supported_taxonomies setting is missing.

    How do I fix?

    Just an update:

    I can confirm that the .popmake div and the plugin js and css files are not loaded at all on any page using the category.php template.

    The html call with the popmake div is exactly the same as on the other pages: same class, etc.

    Another update:

    I ended up registering a custom taxonomy for my cpt and the popups are working as normal on the taxonomy archive pages.

    This points to something in your code regarding categories and custom post types. There was an earlier support post that mentioned this.

    In any event, it was probably better that I created the appropriate taxonomies instead of relying on the built-in categories anyway.

    I’m going to leave this as ‘not resolved’ as maybe there will be a fix and it can help someone else.

    @joshuaiz – Just to clarify you were not using a custom taxonomy to begin with? I must have misunderstood initially then.

    No I was not – the cpt was registered to use the normal taxonomies: category, tag.

    After that I created a category.php page as the cpt category archive template and I can confirm that the category archives were using these templates.

    On any page using that template with a div with my popmake class applied, the popmake div was not created and the Popup Maker js/css files were not loaded at all.

    The popups were working on all other pages.

    Then I registered a new taxonomy, created a taxonomy-[mycustomtaxonomy].php template page and used that – the popups work on those pages.

    @joshuaiz – Ok will look in on the issue. Thanks for the report.
