See hidden link

If you click any of these links to see an activity (the cpt) the link redirects to the site root rather than that posts page

Ive turned off all but toolset plugins and deactivated my theme, refreshed the permalinks and turned off caching and deleted the cache.

Im at a loss as to what to check next can you give me some guidance

Thanks

Hello, a few more things you can try:
- Edit the Activity post type in Toolset > Post Types
- Check to be sure the status is Published
- Check the options panel. Be sure these are checked: Rewrite, Pages, publicly_queryable. The permalink mask should be EP_PERMALINK by default. Take screenshots so I can see the other options, and include it in your next reply
- Check to be sure there is no existing Page with the slug "activity" - that can cause problems. If you have one, trash it and empty the trash, then resave permalinks. Use a WordPress Archive instead to design the /activity URL instead of a Page.
- Check to be sure there is no custom taxonomy with the slug "activity" - that can cause problems. If you have one, rename it and resave your permalinks.
- Check to be sure there's nothing odd in your .htaccess file. A standard one looks like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between `BEGIN WordPress` and `END WordPress` are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress%

- Log in with FTP and double check to be sure there is no /activity directory left over from a previous site. If there is one, rename it or delete it
- Check your wp-config.php file to be sure there's nothing relevant to the /activity directory
- Add your site debug information in your next reply so I can see some other configurations. We have information about that available here: https://toolset.com/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Christian Thanks so much , somehow publicly_queryable had gotten unchecked.
