I have a custom taxonomy, "type", which is 'hierarchical' => true,.
Terms include:
- "Industry moves"
- "Market indicators"
- "Viewpoints"
- "Analyst view"
- "Executive view"
- "Interview"
I have a taxonomy.php theme file and I want these pages to be accessible at
(parent term) but also eg.
(sub-terms)
I have a $rewrite. When I set 'hierarchical' => false, of course, I can only access those sub-terms at their single-level URLs eg.
When I flip it to 'hierarchical' => true, I can successfully access the page at the nested URL structure
But (and here is the problem), this messes up the page for the parent term. Specifically, then generates a 404 (actually, points back to index).
How can I both have my cake and eat it - that is, how can I access a page for both sub-terms and their parent term?
At each step, I have saved permalinks in the admin.
Here is the code I am using to register the taxonomy in a plugin...
<?php
