I have this URL here https://www.gundogworld.co.uk/judge/. I am wishing for this to be a simple archive page. On this page, it has the body class class="archive post-type-archive post-type-archive-tribe_ext_judge logged-in tribe-js I cannot get the /judge to display the archives no matter what I try. mod_rewrite is active on the server, I turned all caching off, visited permalink and re-save after every attempt. in my child theme i have archive-judge.php, single-judge.php and taxonomy-judge.php.
This is the code I have in the plugin where the post is registered, I have turned all plugins off (except the 2 required) and reverted to 2016 I have tried everything I can reading google for 3 weeks with no win!
