Location rules stopped working for custom taxonomy

Hi,
I've created some custom post types and taxonomies for my site. I created some Elements and set them to display on the custom taxonomy archives. It worked perfectly, and they're still showing.
The problem is that for some reason when I access the Elements now to edit them, the taxonomy archives have disappeared from the Location Display Rules.

So I can't select the taxonomy archives page, and if I save the Elements, they won't be displayed anymore (I did a test with a cloned Element, don't want to lose them).
I've checked my code for the custom taxonomies and haven't changed anything in a month. I think the last update I've done was GeneratePress to the last version and some other plugins.
Not sure how it has happened or when tbh.
My custom taxonomy is still showing in the admin dashboard, and working fine.
I guess I could find a workaround in code with filters and custom archive templates and all, but I have a few Elements already created and that would be painful tbh (and I prefer the editors could still access it).
Any idea what could be happening?
Thanks
Hi Diego,
Let's do some debugging steps:
1. Disable all plugins except GP premium and the one that creates the CPT.
2. Switch back to the parent theme.
Let me know how that goes.
Done, tested it both with the child theme and the parent theme. They're still don't showing :/
Thanks for your quick response btw
Can you keep all the plugins deactivated and switch to parent theme?
We can have a look at the backend then :)
Let me know.
Sure! I've done it. I'll leave them deactivated until you have time to check it.
Thanks
Thanks for doing that, can you also send me the link of the CPT archive page?
Here's one of them: https://staging-astrostylecom.kinsta.cloud/astrology/topics/planets-chart/
The header with the breadcrumb shortcode, headline and description is inside an Element.
Hey Diego,
Trying to reproduce this on your staging site.
I added a Test Element and set it to the taxonomy - it seems to be working. Can you check to see if I'm trying the right thing? If not, can you tell me which conditions I should be testing?
Thanks!
Hi Tom, thanks for checking it.
The issue is I can't select the "Learn Article Topic Archive" on the display options. So now I can only display Elements on pages with that taxonomy, but not on the archives. The old Elements assigned to those archives are still working though, so it seems like a front-end issue.
What happens if you set has_archive to true?: https://www.screencast.com/t/lhDQTLCLL9k
Damn, I was so sure I already had tried that...
That fixed it. Thanks so much, Tom.
Have a nice day.
Glad I could help! You too :)
