Footer block elements not showing across whole site

Hi there,

can you try removing the All Users display rule in the Block Element - its not required.

I have done this now, but this has not changed anything

Odd... can you try changing the Block Type to Hook and select the before_footer hook - does it now display on the archive ?

Still no joy sadly.

Trying different settings, still on a learning curve with CPTs

I suspect that something is blocking the wp_footer call as I have another element that is not being called either (parallax snippet).
I'm afraid I don't yet posess the knowledge to know why :S

Are you using any custom templates / functions for your archive pages?

I am using a function to allow the displaying of CPT in standard post types

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
  if( is_category() ) {
    $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
    if($post_type)
        $post_type = $post_type;
    else
        $post_type = array('nav_menu_item', 'post', 'business'); // don't forget nav_menu_item to allow menus to work!
    $query->set('post_type',$post_type);
    return $query;
    }
}

I found the same issue on this thread here, but didn't think to search the forums for lines from that snippet before.

I have determined that I do not need to use the built in 'Categories' as this part of the site is separate and no crossover is required.
To keep it simple, I have disabled the snippet and created my own 'Business Category' taxononmy and this seems to eliminate the problem.

Thanks for nudging a novice in the right direction.

Glad to hear you found the solution!
