I have created a custom taxonomy for my CPT post, the taxonomy is called artist-archive.

I want to be able to view those posts alphabetically. I was able to do this prior by just using the built in categories but now want to use this custom taxonomy and it does not work anymore.

I am NOT using views on this site. Needs to be php. Here is code that was working for category:

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'pre_get_posts_callback');

function pre_get_posts_callback($query){
	
	if(is_post_type_archive('news')) {
		   $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
           //Set the orderby
           $query->set( 'orderby', 'POST_DATE' );
	} elseif(is_post_type_archive( 'publishing-roster' ) || is_category(array('pub-artist', 'pub-composer' , 'pub-songwriter')) ){
           $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
           $query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
	} elseif(is_post_type_archive( 'artist' ) || is_category(array('fearless-records-artists', 'concord-jazz-artists' , 'concord-records-artists' , 'craft-recordings-artists' , 'easy-eye-sound-artists' , 'fantasy-records-artists' , 'loma-vista-recordings-artists' , 'rounder-records-artists' , 'featured-artists')) ){
           $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
           $query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
	} 
	
	
}

the is_category part needs to change to something different but what?

I will add links to private message.

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To check the taxonomy archive you can use the WordPress native function: is_tax()
=> https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_tax/

Can you please try to use this function and check if that help you to resolve your issue.

Thanks, I just tried that with no luck, please give me private reply so I can send you a link.

Can you please share problem URL where you want to order posts by post title.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
