Ok here we go. I have 2 different custom post types. The first is called 'portfolio', the second one 'games'.
All the game reviews I write are 'games' posts. To have a better overview I created custom categories like reviews, playstation xbox etc. Unfortunately everytime I would like to display the posts of one categorie (http://www.zock-around-the-clock.com/games_category/testcategory) I just get an 404 Error Page.
I dont really use the 'portfolio' posts but with them the arrengement into categories would work just perfectly. (http://www.zock-around-the-clock.com/portfolio-view/testcategory).
I would like to ask you what is the difference between these two types and why is it working with the portfolio posts but not with the games posts.
I also tried adding normal categories into the games posts by adding 'taxonomies' => array('category'), but unfortunately it is still not possible to display the games posts of a single category.
Here's the single-portfolio.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$lightbox = $custom["lightbox-url"][0];
?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('post'); ?>>
<article class="single-post">
<header>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
</header>
<div class="post-content wrapper">
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
echo '<div class="featured-thumbnail no-hover"><div class="img-wrap">'; the_post_thumbnail(''); echo '</div></div>';
}
?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="pagination">&after=</div>'); ?>
</div><!--.post-content-->
</article>
</div><!-- #post-## -->
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
and the init. for the portfolio posts:
function my_post_type_portfolio() {
register_post_type( 'portfolio',
array(
'label' => __('Portfolio'),
'singular_label' => __('Porfolio Item', 'theme1575'),
'_builtin' => false,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'capability_type' => 'page',
'menu_icon' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/includes/images/icon_portfolio.png',
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => 'portfolio-view',
'with_front' => FALSE,
),
'supports' => array(
'title',
'editor',
'thumbnail',
'excerpt',
'custom-fields',
'comments')
)
);
register_taxonomy('portfolio_category', 'portfolio', array('hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Portfolio Categories', 'singular_name' => 'Category', "rewrite" => true, "query_var" => true));}add_action('init', 'my_post_type_portfolio');
Here's the single-games.php
<?php get_header(); ?><div id="content" class="grid_8 <?php if (of_get_option('blog_sidebar_pos') == "right" ) {echo "alpha";} else {echo "omega";} ?> <?php echo of_get_option('blog_sidebar_pos') ?>">

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('post'); ?>>
<article class="single-post">
<div class="post-header">
<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php $post_meta = of_get_option('post_meta'); ?>
<?php if ($post_meta=='true' || $post_meta=='') { ?>
<div class="post-meta">

</div><!--.post-meta-->
<?php } ?>
</div>
<div class="post-content wrapper">
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) {

<?php the_content(); ?><?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="pagination">&after=</div>'); ?>
</div><!--.post-content-->
</article>
<?php /* If a user fills out their bio info, it's included here */ ?>
<div id="post-author">
<h3><?php _e('Written by', 'theme1575'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link() ?></h3>
<p class="gravatar"><?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '80' ); /* This avatar is the user's gravatar (http://gravatar.com) based on their administrative email address */ } ?></p>
<div id="author-description">
<?php the_author_meta('description') ?>
<div id="author-link">
<p><?php _e('View all posts by:', 'theme1575'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link() ?></p>
</div><!--#author-link-->
</div><!--#author-description -->
</div><!--#post-author-->
</div><!-- #post-## -->
<nav class="oldernewer">
<div class="older">
<?php previous_post_link('%link', __('« Previous post', 'theme1575')) ?>
</div><!--.older-->
<div class="newer">
<?php next_post_link('%link', __('Next Post »', 'theme1575')) ?>
</div><!--.newer-->
</nav><!--.oldernewer-->
and the init. for the games posts:
function my_post_type_games() {
register_post_type( 'games',
array(
'label' => __('Games'),
'taxonomies' => array('category'),
'public' => true,
'query_var'=> true,

); register_taxonomy('games_category', 'games', array('hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Games Categories', 'singular_name' => 'Category', "rewrite" => true, "query_var" => true)); } add_action('init', 'my_post_type_games');?>
