I'm using the CPT UI plugin to create a custom post type with a custom taxonomy. I'm finding however that the individual post page shows "No Results Found".

I'm using this page slug as the CPT custom rewrite slug: wbc-activity-page

The terms page is working correctly on this url: domain.com/wbc-activity-page/home/

The issue is that the post page is showing 'no results found' on the post's url: domain.com/wbc-activity-page/wbc-post-1/

This is my post type settings: 

    function cptui_register_my_cpts_wbc_activity() {

    /**
     * Post Type: WBC Activities.
     */

    $labels = [
        "name" => __( "WBC Activities", "mw-theme" ),
        "singular_name" => __( "WBC Activity", "mw-theme" ),
    ];

    $args = [
        "label" => __( "WBC Activities", "mw-theme" ),
        "labels" => $labels,
        "description" => "",
        "public" => true,
        "publicly_queryable" => true,
        "show_ui" => true,
        "show_in_rest" => true,
        "rest_base" => "",
        "rest_controller_class" => "WP_REST_Posts_Controller",
        "has_archive" => false,
        "show_in_menu" => true,
        "show_in_nav_menus" => true,
        "delete_with_user" => false,
        "exclude_from_search" => false,
        "capability_type" => "post",
        "map_meta_cap" => true,
        "hierarchical" => false,
        "rewrite" => [ "slug" => "wbc-activity-page", "with_front" => true ],
        "query_var" => true,
        "supports" => [ "title", "editor", "thumbnail", "custom-fields", "comments", "revisions" ],
        "taxonomies" => [ "wbc_category" ],
    ];

    register_post_type( "wbc_activity", $args );
}

add_action( 'init', 'cptui_register_my_cpts_wbc_activity' );

This is my custom taxonomy settings: 

    function cptui_register_my_taxes_wbc_category() {

    /**
     * Taxonomy: WBC Activity Categories.
     */

    $labels = [
        "name" => __( "WBC Activity Categories", "mw-theme" ),
        "singular_name" => __( "WBC Activity Category", "mw-theme" ),
    ];

    $args = [
        "label" => __( "WBC Activity Categories", "mw-theme" ),
        "labels" => $labels,
        "public" => true,
        "publicly_queryable" => true,
        "hierarchical" => true,
        "show_ui" => true,
        "show_in_menu" => true,
        "show_in_nav_menus" => true,
        "query_var" => true,
        "rewrite" => [ 'slug' => 'wbc-activity-page', 'with_front' => true, ],
        "show_admin_column" => false,
        "show_in_rest" => true,
        "rest_base" => "wbc_category",
        "rest_controller_class" => "WP_REST_Terms_Controller",
        "show_in_quick_edit" => true,
        ];
    register_taxonomy( "wbc_category", [ "wbc_activity" ], $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cptui_register_my_taxes_wbc_category' );

Is there something I'm missing here?

  • Taxonomies and post types can't have the same rewrite slug. When you go to wbc-activity-page/wbc-post-1/, WordPress thinks wbc-post-1 is a taxonomy term, which is why it can't find any posts. They'll need to be different.

    my understanding of the code above is that both the terms, and the posts share exactly the same URL structure, which is a big problem, e.g. if I visit domain.com/wbc-activity-page/home/ is that for a CPT with the slug home or a term with the slug home? You can't have clashes

  • @JacobPeattie, thanks for this. If these have to be different, do you know how you would have the post and taxonomy term nested under the custom post type slug? Whenever I try to achieve this either the term or the single-post page shows no results found? (e.g. domain.com/custom-post-slug/taxomomy-term/post-title)
