[Resolved] Content Templates for Taxonomy Archives not working correctly

Hello

I am redesigning a site - switching from using Layouts to using Content Templates and the Block Editor.

I am using a blank theme (Beda's Minimax) - so very simple.

I designed the native WordPress Page content template and also a content template for one of my custom PTs. All worked fine.

I then decided to design a Content Template for a Taxonomy Archive (term) and this is where things have gone wrong.

If I view the Taxonomy Archive Term in the front end then I get the Content Template produced multiple times down the page with some extra data at the top of the page. It is acting more like an archive loop rather than a Content Template? Is this what is happening? Surely the content template should work for just displaying one taxonomy term?

Thanks in advance

Interesting...

So in the following URL, 'stop' is a taxonomy and 'alveolar-stop' is a taxonomy term.

I shouldn't be able to paginate to more terms... very odd.

Also... some terms (i.e taxonomy term pages) don't yield any results at all.

btw... I have tried different themes but the problem persists.

Also... with the Content Template empty, I get multiple versions all with the same header...

Going to resubmit this ticket.

Gavin, just a note:
MinimaX-1 is not really ready for Gutenberg or non-Layouts designs. It's old school (I really made it for Layouts mainly)

Please stay tuned on GitHub:
- soon I'll add an automatic updates notifier included in the themes and plugins
- a new theme version without Layouts but Blocks in mind will be available
- eh, if I would have more time...

I hope this helps to avoid to run into future issues with MinimaX-1/Gutenberg

Thanks. I switched to my own custom theme in the end. 🙂
