custom post template not working with Custom Post Type posts

See my response for creating a secondary query in this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/template-to-display-all-posts-in-custom-post-type-and-custom-taxonomy?replies=11

Thanks, will give it a go and let you know what happens!

Sure thing, let me know if you run into any issues.

Ok, I’m definitely doing something wrong ??

When I use this secondary query, something weird happens. The URL in the address bar is https://juliabarry.com/webdesign/erin_trahan/erin-trahan/ but I get an error message that says “You tried going to https://juliabarry.com/webdesign/webdesign/erin_trahan/erin-trahan/, and it doesn’t exist. All is not lost! You can search for what you’re looking for.”

Here’s my post template code. Lemme know where I’m going wrong…

<?php
/*
Template Name Posts: ErinTrahan.com
*/

$args = array('post_type' => 'erin_trahan','post_count'=> 50);
$erin_query = new WP_Query($args); // Instantiates new WP_Query object for Erin Trahan Custom Post Type posts

get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

	<?php do_atomic( 'before_content' ); // hatch_before_content ?>

	<div id="content">

'/images/single_image_placeholder.png' ) ); ?>
							<div class="post-aside">								

								<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_title', '[entry-title permalink="0"]' ); ?>

								<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'byline_date', '<div class="byline byline-date">' . __( '[entry-published before="Date: "]', 'hatch' ) . '</div>' ); ?>

								<?php the_field('project_url'); ?>

								<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'byline_edit', '<div class="byline byline-edit">' . __( '[entry-edit-link]', 'hatch' ) . '</div>' ); ?>

							</div><!-- .entry-content -->

						</div><!-- .post-content -->

				</div><!-- .hentry -->

					<?php do_atomic( 'after_entry' ); // hatch_after_entry ?>

<!-- ========== ///// BEGIN IMAGE GRID ========== -->	

<?php query_posts('category_name=ErinTrahan&posts_per_page=10'); ?>

<div id="project-images">
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="left highlight"> 

				<a href="https://juliabarry.com" title="<?php the_field( 'image_title' ); ?>"><img src="<?php the_field( 'project_image' ); ?>" alt="<?php the_field( 'image_alt_info' ); ?>" width="290"></a>
				</div>				

				<?php endwhile;?>
				</div>

<!-- ========== END IMAGE GRID \\\\\ ========== -->	

					<?php do_atomic( 'after_singular' ); // hatch_after_singular ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

Thanks!!

.. if your custom post type didn’t flush the rewrite, you need to go to settings -> permalinks and click ‘save’ once so that it flushs and recreates them there.

Otherwise you would get 404 errors or not able to redirect properly to the template you want.

That helped to get rid of the error, thanks! But now I’m back to the original problem, where the post format is just going to the default. My code for the secondary query is still the same as above. Thanks!
