   Hello, my site uses a universal custom taxonomy to tag content of all post types (post, page, custom-type, etc.). The rewrite rule for my custom taxonomy is as follows:

   'rewrite' => array(
     'slug' => 'tag',
     'with_front' => false,
     'hierarchical' => false
   )

   With 3.2.1, I was able to see a list of all posts tagged with a given term by visiting /tag/[term-slug]. On 3.3, I don't get a 404, but no posts are ever returned.

   Any idea if the API changed and I'm registering my taxonomy wrong now, or if this is a bug?

   Ok, after a little more digging, it seems like the problem is that the main query for returning posts is never fired.

   I used define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true ); to show all of the queries there were executed for each page. On a regular archive page that is working correctly, I see a query that looks like this:

   SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.*
   FROM wp_posts
   WHERE 1=1
   AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post'
   AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private')
   ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

   Followed by SELECT FOUND_ROWS(). However, on my taxonomy page (the one that comes up blank), there is no query that is selecting from wp_posts. I still see the SELECT FOUND_ROWS() query, but the query immediately preceding isn't getting any posts. It looks like this:

   SELECT wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
   FROM wp_term_taxonomy
   INNER JOIN wp_terms USING (term_id)
   WHERE taxonomy = 'my-custom-taxonomy'
   AND wp_terms.slug IN ('taxonomy-term')

   This is really baffling to me, and if anybody has any idea what could be the cause of this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

   I just updated to Beta 3 and this is still broken. I feel like I must be doing something wrong, but the fact that I works perfectly in 3.2.1 makes me think this is a WordPress bug.

   Is anybody else experiencing issues with custom taxonomies?

   Ok, I feel like an idiot. I just deactivated one of my plugins, and now the taxonomy pages are working perfectly again. Must be a bug with that plugin then. Sorry for taking anyone's time.
