Hey!
Im curently working on a web project where i'm for my first time using WP 3.0.1 and the custom post type & taxonomy.
I think i'm a quick learning, i figured out most of the things, but now i'm on a point where i realy realy can find any solution more, so if anyone can help me, it would be super nice!
so my problem:
i have two custom post types:
-partys (with a non-hirarhical taxonomy "party-tags", rewrite slug)
-staff (with a hirarhical taxonomy "type-of-work", rewrite slug)
i have created a Page called "Party" where i display all the up-coming partys and in the sidebar i display via wp_tag_cloud() the "party-tags".
i have created a Page called "Staff" where i display all the staff and in the sidebar i display the working categories "type-of-work" via wp_list_categories()
in the permalinks settings i have /%postname%
and now what my site is doing:
- when i click a tag in the tag cloud of Party, it gives me a 404 error page. the permalink is: mypage.com/partie-via-type/cocktails-party
IMPORTANT: befor i addet all the Staff code, it has work just fine. I created a archive.php and it has worked.
- when i click a category in the Staff sidebar, it links me to the archive (which i also don't want... i want the normal category template) page. the permalink is: mypage.com/staff-via-category/djs
IMPORTANT: i tried a lot of things: to change the permalink structure to %category%/%postname.... to remove the permalinks and have normal ?true=staff... to remove the staff code in the function.php, to remove the partys... and so on... but allways i get somewhare a 404 error page. Or is it, when i want to display one party, archive via tag, staff via category, one staff member... and i can find no patern, why i get some 404 error, and i can manage that the tag clud would link to archive ant the staf category list to one category section...
i would be happy if both, tags and category would link to archive, and i would just create a universal archive page... but i can get it to work!
any suggestions?!
