I have created a custom post type (portfolio) and I'm using the built-in Category taxonomy with it. When I view the category archives page, only regular posts are showing under the category, my custom posts aren't there at all. The options to select categories are there in the Edit Post page (and Quick Edit), they just aren't showing up on the front end.
I have tried flushing the permalinks by saving under Settings > Permalinks, and I have also tried including flush_rewrite_rules(); in my functions.php. Nothing works?
Here is my custom post type code (note: my custom posts work fine with rewrite rules, it's just the categories):
/**
* Registers the 'apc_portfolio' custom post type.
*
* @example register_post_type( $taxonomy, $args );

Reset to default 0The default WP category is only set-up to show posts out of the box. You should be able to expand this by doing something like the below in your functions.php:
// Order course archive and taxonomy views
function adjust_main_query($query){
if ( ! is_admin() && is_category() && is_category() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'mpCPT' ));
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'adjust_main_query' );
I haven't tested this, but it's an adaptation of a working example I have used. Hope it helps get you on the right lines.
