CPT with cloud template not showing in categories page (archive)

Hi everyone,

I am using the newspaper theme 11.5.1 where cloud templates start supporting CPT/Taxonomies.

The custom post type, called ‘kurs’, has ‘has_archive’ enabled and is added to the ‘pre_get_posts’ hook, see for reference:
function custom_post_type_cat_filter($query) {
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
if ($query->is_category()) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'kurs' ) );
}
}
}

add_action('pre_get_posts','custom_post_type_cat_filter');

I am not sure which extra steps are needed when cloud templates are in play and whether the theme itself selects fitting posts for category pages based on the template file taxonomy…any advice here?

Hi Bettina,

I’ve added an extensive explanation covering:
– how we added the custom post type including an excerpt of the functions.php customization
– short explanation on the cloud template being used
– 1 example of custom post type & category page, their URLs are:
a) category page: https://aktiennews24.de/thema/einzelaktien/nordex-aktie/
b) custom post: https://aktiennews24.de/news/kurs/nordex-aktie-30052022/
– the configs that we have in the theme panel

We appreciate you looking at the video recorded:

Hi Bettina,

thanks for getting back. A few follow up questions and answers:
– “I can see that you use also default templates.”
-> Yes, for the category pages at least, so far. Is that a problem?

– “I recommend you to use only cloud templates, also for your category page.”
-> How would that change things? The default category template is perfectly able to list standard post types.

What I am trying to communicate is that shortcodes/elements seem to fail to list/show our custom post type with the way that things are configured.
