   Hi There !

   I'm discovering custom taxonomy, and I'm loving it :-) I want to use it to label some sermons by author and by theme. I used a plugin that creates a cloud of custom taxonomy, and that works. But the link points to a url of the form :

   http://mydomain.com/taxonomy_name/custom_taxonomy/

   It returns an empty archive page. Can it be because this taxonomy is used in a custom post type ? Any thoughts ?!?

   Any tip ? I find myself really helpless on this issue...

   I tried this :
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-tagscategories-archive-page?replies=24

   It seems to be the same issue, but using regular tags, not custom taxonomies. That didn't seem to change anything. I saw that in the code provided, there was a conditional checking if it was a category or a tag. I tried to add a condition about my custom taxonomy using the function : is_taxonomy('name') but that returned false no matter what.

   I got curious, so I tried to see all the registered taxonomies with this :
   

   $taxonomies=get_taxonomies('','names');
   foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
     echo '<p>'. $taxonomy. '</p>';
   }

   And my custom taxonomies didn't show up ?!?

   Isn't more-taxonomies plugin registering the custom taxonomies ? Any experience on that ?

   Without any help, I might drop the plugin and try to get it done manually... too bad, it really worked smoothly up to this point.

   BTW, I have a public development page now :

   http://dev.jesuschurch.no/

   If you click on "Prekner", you'll see my custom taxonomies (by themes and by preacher). If you click on Vekst, a preaching should show up, but it's an empty archive.
   http://dev.jesuschurch.no/preaching-themes/vekst/

   This preaching should be listed :
   http://dev.jesuschurch.no/preaching/preken-veier-til-vekst-dap-stephan-christiansen-06-mars-2011/

   OK, finally I figured it out, after many hours of testing and Googling...

   The problem was in theme, the query_posts of my archive.php didn't display custom custom types. I created a file called taxonomy.php, and modified my query post from this :
   query_posts("$query_string);
   to this :
   query_posts("post_type=preaching&".$query_string);

   Now it seems to work perfectly :-)
