I use a plugin called CPT-onomies to create Custom Post Types. I created a post type called "case", and set "Has Archive Page" to true, but when i try to view a single case, i just get 404'd. Same thing also happens if i try to view the actual archive, eg. "site.com/case" and not "site.com/case/case-item".

Here's a screenshot of my settings: https://i.sstatic.net/VOoB1.png

I've tried disabling/enablind it, no success. I also tried changing permalink structure of the whole site (from settings -> permalinks) because sometimes that doesn't update.

Have i missed something in the settings or is this a bug in the plugin? I've gone through it several times and i can't find anything that would prevent it from working.

I have a template file called single.php that should be used. I also tried single-case.php but that didn't make any difference.

  • I tried manually setting the rewrite as you suggested, but that didn't work either (refreshed permalinks between). It should also not be needed because the plugin has it's own defaults. Have you looked at the screenshot? I'm really out of ideas...

  • I checked your screenshot, try setting hierarchical to true. I am not familiar with CPT-onomies, but if you don't mind I I suggest you to switch to custom-post-type-ui

  • Still no luck after setting hierarchical to true. :/ This is my first time using the plugin, i just grabbed one of the top ones. I'll make sure to try another one next time, but i'm afraid i'm stuck with it for now (i've already added tons of content, if i remove the post types i can say goodbye to the content as well).

  • If your plugin provides a registration code of your post type, it would be better if you will include it in your post. and make sure you have the following: archive-{post-type.php} - is for displaying the list of your post under your custom post type taxonomy-{taxonomy-name.php} is for displaying the list of your posts that belongs to your particular taxonomy name and single-{post-type.php} - for displaying single post of your particular custom post type.

Here's what you need to do to get it to work (quoted from site above):

  1. Go to Settings → Permalinks and change your current structure to: /%category%/%postname%
  2. Save changes.
  3. Restore your original permalink settings. Save changes.
