I have similar problem to this one: Custom Post Type Template - Archive

So, I have a wordpress custom post type called coupon. I try to assing the template to it by using archive-coupon.php, but it goes directly to home.php

I also have a custom taxonomy of this CPT called tags with the rewrite rule => "tag" so basically when I go to URL like this - http://mysite.com/tag/3d I want to see a custom template for my Custom Post Type or general for taxonomies.

I have also tried taxonomy.php template but it still ignores it. What could be the problem? Thanks

Update -

I don't know what really happened. But before that I had template called taxonomy-store.php So, when I renamed it to another name, taxonomy tag started using taxonomy.php template file. And still archive-coupon.php doesn't work.

Can you post the code from your functions.php that declares the CPT? – Rachel Baker Jun 21 '12 at 18:49

i believe tag is a reserved taxonomy rewrite name on wordpress to be used on default post_tag taxonomy. That might cause the issue. Rename the custom taxonomy to something like coupon-tag.

BTW: did you try flushing the rewrites by visiting permalink page from settings tab?

yes, I have updated the permalinks settings. Still didn't work. I also used another slug for rewrite, and got the same issue – Godforever Jun 21 '12 at 20:58
@Godforever: okey, you will need to show your code to get further help. – Sisir Jun 23 '12 at 7:46
