    I just wanted to report an experience I had recently and just resolved.

    I created a custom post type with the taxonomy “year.” I had my permalinks set to /%postname%/. For some reason, after creating this taxonomy, all of my parent pages were redirecting to the blog page (index.php). I tried disabling plugins one by one. I tried a fresh install of WP. Nothing seemed to work, only the default setting in permalinks. I finally found this thread from someone who had the same issue:

    http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/60705/wordpress-not-respecting-template-hierarchy-fetches-index-php-instead-of-single/60956#60956

    So I renamed my taxonomy to “published_year” and it all works. I hope this helps others. It might be good to have something in the documentation of what taxonomy names cause conflicts with WP Core.

The topic ‘Taxonomy labeled "Year" broke Permalink structure’ is closed to new replies.
