Category archive view pulling wrong template

[studiofuse]

Hello,
I just noticed that the category view (e.g. http://mysite.com/events/category/mycategory/) is using a page template from my theme, even though I have the Default Events Template set in the admin area. Both the photo and map views use the correct template.
How can I get the category view to also use it?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi there, Scott! Thanks for reaching out and sorry you’re hitting some trouble here. Hopefully we can figure it out here together. 🙂

First off, are you able to share a link to your site? That would be super helpful, if it’s possible.

Secondly, could you try temporarily activating the default Twenty Thirteen theme, to see if the issue happens there as well? If disabling the theme fixes it, that’s good news! It means we have narrowed the issue down to a theme conflict.

If the issue is still there when using the default Twenty Thirteen theme, then we can try testing for conflicts with other installed plugins. Using the Twenty Thirteen, please try deactivating all of your plugins, except for the ones from Modern Tribe. Does that solve the problem? If so, reactivate the plugins one at a time until the issue pops back up, then tell me which one was causing the issue.

These steps are also outlined here if you want some more details on how to test for conflicts.

Give those steps a shot and let me know what you find.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for the quick response. It was, indeed, a theme issue. Long story short, I was able to use the is_tax() conditional to specify the correct layout.

Thanks!
Scott

Nice work! Sorry you ran into a theme conflict, but I’m stoked to hear it worked out.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to hit us up with a new one if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
