    Hi Ryan – or anybody else who can help,

    I have a custom post type of Films with a taxonomy of Seasons. I have created a template for the taxonomy archive which starts out working fine. It shows the term content followed by the list of films in that season – great! But I need to show the films in screening date order so I change the query loop block into an advanced query loop block and use the meta query to sort by the screening date. As soon as I do that it loses connection with the relevant season and shows ALL the films.

    What am I doing wrong? Can you help?

    Help!!

    On further experimentation, it looks as though this is actually a problem in the standard Query Loop block. Since the “Inherit query from template” option was removed from the QL block, it is “on” if QUERY TYPE is set to Default and “off” if it is changed to Custom which means that a taxonomy archive will always show all posts (not just those for the selected taxonomy term) if anything other than the unless the simplest form of QL is used – aaaggh!
