Hey guys,
I feel like I’ve been tearing my hair out over something that *has* to be simple and available, I must just be missing something. I’m trying to get my category archive page to list all the posts under the entire “Categories” taxonomy, and it refuses. I’ve tried:
* refreshing permalinks
* switching to default themes
* duplicating archive.php and setting up category.php
I’m still getting a 404 error. Here’s an simple overview of site structure:
“`
Categories
– Food
— Fruit
— Vegetable
– Drink
— Water
— Lemonade
“`
This is for the standard, out of the box category taxonomy. What I want is for the top-level “Categories” to display all of the categories listed. Right now, I can access site.com/category/food or category/drink/lemonade, but /category gives me a 404 error.
This also means that in my menu section, I don’t get a “post archive type” of link.
I suspect that my root WP install doesn’t have categories’ has_archive set, but why? Isn’t that standard out-of-the-box WP behavior? Since I’m using the base category taxonomy here, I’m not sure how I can add has_archive *to* that existing setup.
Plot twist is that it works on my custom taxonomy just fine, but that’s one I built from scratch and included the has_archive.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
