[Resolved] CPT (Types) with posts assigned returns Sorry, no content matched your criteria.

I am trying to:
1. Create a custom post type. (I will be creating multiple CPTs)
2. Import posts from our current site. Categories and Tags remain attached.
3. Convert imported posts to my new CPT using the Convert Post Types plugin. Categories and Tags remain attached.
4. Created a View that displays list of CPT posts and inserted Views shortcode. View has clickable title and excerpt.

I visited this URL: /category/my-category-name/

I expected to see: Default archive for category called My Category Name.

Instead, I got: "Sorry, no content matched your criteria."

I have added code to my functions.php file that I found in the support forum, but made no difference. I seem to be having the very same issue with the Author archive.

I have found no discover-wp tutorial for dealing with CPT and relationships to WP archives.

Hi Timothy,

Thanks for contacting us.

Could you let me know which parts of this has been already achieved.

Were you able to map your imported CPT correctly?

Hi Shane,

I just got it all to work. I have a test CPT called "talk" and found some code on this forum that needed to be added to the functions.php file. I duplicated for my similar issues with Author and Tag archives and now all seems to be working.

Here's what I added. Do you see any issues with this? Anything else I should know about this topic/issue?

/* Add CPTs to Category archives */
function wpse_category_set_post_types( $query ){
if( $query->is_category ):
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'talk' ) );
endif;
return $query;
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpse_category_set_post_types' );

/* Add CPTs to Author archives */
function wpse_author_set_post_types( $query ){
if( $query->is_author ):
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'talk' ) );
endif;
return $query;
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpse_author_set_post_types' );

/* Add CPTs to Tag archives */
function wpse_tag_set_post_types( $query ){
if( $query->is_tag ):
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'talk' ) );
endif;
return $query;
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpse_tag_set_post_types' );
