To further clarify, I’ve got a custom post type called “resources”, then a custom taxonomy called “topictags” which has its “Attach to Post Type” set to “Resources” via the CPT UI plugin. The “topictags” Hierarchical setting is set to false, but I have tried changing that and it makes no different. I’ve tried going to the Settings – Permalinks page and saving to reset permalinks as well.
Have you made any headway with this one? I am earnestly not sure what’s going on with it at the moment.
I went through all plugins and disabled one at a time, the only thing that made any difference was disabling the Q&A plugin, if I did this, then you no longer got redirected to the home page, you just sat on the /blog/topictags/leadership/ page, but it just showed the content from the home page. So not really progress but at least it tells me which plugin was doing the redirect. Not sure why though. I suspect maybe WordPress is not set to display archive pages for the custom post types or taxonomies, but I tried turning off and on Archive page settings for the custom post and it made no difference. The Taxonomy settings don’t seem to have an Archive page option.
I have to wonder if there is some sort of conflict going on with slugs. Do you have any pages named “resources” as well?
Hm yes there is a Page that has the permalink of /resources, I’ll try renaming that, thanks for the idea. I figured that since these pages have the /topictags/ url not /resources/ they wouldn’t conflict, but since topictags are a taxonomy of resources, maybe that’s an issue.
The odd thing is it’s a multi-site and the French site works fine, there is a page called /resources/ that shows the archive for that post type, and pages like /fr/topictags/assessment/ work fine.
Does the french site have both a post type of “resources” and a page named “resources” ? It’s going to be a case of which sites have both, that would likely have the query confusion.
It doesn’t, but even renaming the English page to resourcehome doesn’t solve the problem. Something is messed up but I don’t know how/where to troubleshoot. Is there a file somewhere that lists all permalinks that WP uses to resolve URLs?
I believe those values are all stored in the database. I’ve had success in the past with this plugin though http://wordpress.org/plugins/rewrite-rules-inspector/
