Taxonomy Archive Pages?

  • I have a custom taxonomy with term URLs such as:
    https://something.com/foo/bar (generated by taxonomy-foo.php)

    If I want to have a page like https://something.com/foo that lists all terms associated with “foo,” how would I do that?

    Would I add logic to taxonomy-foo.php that looks for URL cases that only include the taxonomy but not terms? If yes, any suggestions on how best to do that?

    Or is there some way I can create an archive page for the taxonomy? (I already have the archive value set to true) For instance, is there some option like archive-foo.php?

    Any help would be appreciated!

  • The template hierarchy is for querying and retrieving posts. So to retrieve terms is totally different.

    I solved this in my theme by supplying a Page template that uses the slug of the page as the taxonomy parameter to wp_list_categories and output the terms as a list of links, with counts. This way, all you have to do is create a Page with the correct slug and choose that page template for it. (You can also put other content in the page.)
