On our latest website (password protected) we use tollset types, view and layout.
If I style a page with views and filters for my custom types everything works fine.

But If I use a link to a custom taxonomy the following page is empty, although i said toolset to
use custom layout/views for archive pages.

what I tried:
I deactivated all other plugins - no change
I used 2 other themes (twentyeleven, GeneratePress (free version)) - no change.

there is NO INFORMATION in the debug info - it is empty (a sign, that something IS WRONG here?)

I don't know what is wrong here.
Could it have to do with the fact, that I was converting from pods?

thanks
Michael

Dear Michael,

I have tried the credentials you provided above, but can only see a htaccess login window, so I am downloading the duplicator package files, will update here if there is anything found.

#1345723

Here are what I found in your duplicator package, there are two problems:
1) You are using parent/child layouts, please try these:
Edit the layout "Parent Layout":
hidden link

Add a child layout cell into it, more help:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/hierarchical-layouts/#1-create-the-parent-layout

2) In the archive layout "Layout für Jahr Archive":
hidden link
you are displaying a normal view cell, but it should be replaced with a "WordPress Archive Cell", see our document:

Hi,
thanks for you reply.
I made the changes- but I do have another question.

- can I remove the parent layout if I don't need it anymore?

- If I click on a taxonomy like "Stadtteil" , how do I assign a layout or view to that output?

Thanks
Michael

Q1) Yes, you can remove the parent layout if you don't need it anymore, but you need to remove the parent/child layout relationship first.

For example, edit the child archive layout "Layout für Jahr Archive", click the button "Layout hierarchy settings" just before the layout title, see screenshot Layout-hierarchy-settings.JPG
click button "Set parent layout"-> enable option "(no parent)", and save.

You will need to edit all child layouts and remove the parent/child layout relationship manually.

Q2) You can follow our documents to setup a layout, and assign it to archive page of taxonomy "Stadtteil", see screenshot.

Hello Luo, thanks for your help.

I set up the archive page as you said, and as stated in your documentation.
But the output from my 3 column bootstrap seems to get squashed.
(see screenshots.)
I hope I successfully deactivated the htaccess password so you can take a look at
the site.

Thanks
Michael
