I have a number of custom post types that all have the same categories and tags but no matter what I do I can only get taxonomy to show for the default post types not the custome ones. I have tried to update the Content Template settings for Taxonomy archive loops’for Archive and Taxonomy Pages always shows up as no posts when related to custom post types. I want to be able to display shared taxonomy accross all post types for categories and posts. What am I missing?

hidden link (tag assigned to the custom post)

I just want to display Title, Featured Image, and maybe Except I tried creating really basic views and view templates for both

and applied to Views for Taxonomy archive loops and Content Template settings for Taxonomy archive loops - they will work but only with the default post types

Currently I have it set to 'none'

Hi Sam,

WordPress by default is only listing posts in the category/tag archive pages.
If you are using a custom post type, you can create a custom taxonomy to go with it and it will behave as you expect.

And you can try the solution in another thread:

Okay I guess that makes sense, but why can I elect to have the tags and categories show up under the custom post types in the first place? The tags and categories work when pulled by views as a custom query. Is there no way to allow the existing tags and categories to be pulled across all post types using a custom template file?

Yes, it is possible to allow the existing tags and categories to be pulled across all post types using a custom template file

You can create custom theme files for tags and categories to output the result you want. such as:
category.php
category-{slug}.php
tag.php
tag-{slug}.php
