I have created a WP stack with 3 post types:
1. Post (default)
2. Event
3. Place
These 3 post types share the same taxonomy, that being the default WP category, here are some example categories:
1. Shopping
2. Concerts
3. Sports
I need to create a category archive for each of the post types:
eg. http://example.com/event/concerts /* cat = concerts, post_type = event */
eg. http://example.com/post/concerts /* cat = concerts, post_type = post */
eg. http://examplecom/place/shopping /* cat = shopping, post_type = place */
However, I’m not sure how to go about with this… would creating individual template files like category-event.php, category-place.php and category-post.php work?
In which case, would I have to do a custom WP Query with the relevant $args or does the query come from the URL?
I’m not even sure of how to create a link to the page. I’ve tried /event/concerts/ and /event/category/concerts/ – in both scenarios I get a 404 error, not even an empty loop.
Any advice?
