Hi, I want to display a custom taxonomy archive in GeneratePress and cannot get the archive to load or target it with Elements. The archive URL returns a 404 Page Not Found
My setup
• Custom taxonomy: lyon_month
• Slug: lyon-by-month
• Attached to: post
• All posts are correctly assigned to terms (january, february, etc.)GeneratePress Elements issue
Also Inside Elements → Content Template → Display Rules, I do not see:
• Taxonomy Archive → Lyon by Month
Instead, I only see:
• Post: Lyon by Month
• Post: Lyon by Month Archive -

Hello,
There are two separate things going on here, and the 404 needs to be sorted first.
Your taxonomy registration is missing
query_var. Without it, WordPress won’t reliably resolve the archive URL. Add it like this:'public' => true, 'hierarchical' => true, 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'lyon-by-month', 'with_front' => false ),After saving that change, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save (no changes needed). This flushes the rewrite rules and is required any time you add or change a taxonomy’s slug or rewrite settings.
One thing to check: a taxonomy doesn’t have a single root archive.
/lyon-by-month/on its own won’t load anything — you need a term archive like/lyon-by-month/january/. Make sure that’s the URL you’re testing.For the Elements Display Rules: the “Post: Lyon by Month” entries you’re seeing target singular posts, not the archive. Once the 404 is resolved and rewrite rules are flushed, set the Location to the taxonomy archive — look for it under an Archives grouping in the Location dropdown rather than the “Post:” entries.
Let me know how the term archive loads after flushing permalinks.

Thanks for your reponse George. I ended up just using a query loop on my page, and it seems to be set up correctly. However, how can I make the posts appear in order: Jan, Feb, March etc… I believe I published them in order so not sure why it’s not appearing as such.

I am not able to access the editor of the new page. Does this user have an admin role?

Hi, try now

The password is incorrect. I’m still not able to log in
https://app.screencast.com/OIhgqugQBIYIPI checked the Post that is supposed to be published in April, but the published date is June 16, 2026:
https://app.screencast.com/hDdD7etIzHB8OSo it looks like your posts’ publish dates are not in the month they’re supposed to be published, can you check?

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I just checked and I am able to login. Did you use the prefix 66 before the website name (I updated the information below under private information).It actually doesnt matter if you cant login. I have attached a screenshot. My question is simply on my month page how can I reorder the posts in the query loop so they start with Jan, Feb, March etc..
Best regards

Hi there,
Select the Query block, then add a new parameter:
Add Parameter > Order > ASCJust a note: this will order the posts based on their publish date. Since your oldest post is the Lyon in May post, setting the order to ASC will display that post first.
