Custom Taxonomy Locations Page

    I created a custom taxonomy for locations by adding the following to functions.php:

    add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );

function build_taxonomies() {
    register_taxonomy(
        'supplier',
        'location',
        array(
            'hierarchical' => true,
            'label' => 'Supplier',
            'query_var' => true,
            'rewrite' => false
        )
    );  

}

    The taxonomy shows up on locations and I’ve created some terms and assigned them to some locations. I made the file taxonomy-supplier-glass.php in my theme directory and just added the code from category.php. I went to ‘permalinks’ in wp-admin to refresh the cache. What url do I need to go to in order to see a list of locations with this custom taxonomy/term? I’ve tried mysite/locations/supplier/glass/ , mysite/supplier/glass/ , etc.. and have no luck- “couldn’t find what you are looking for” in each case. What am I missing here?

    Thanks for that. I added it, and of course that added the events categories to locations. If that’s the only solution, though not ideal, I could work with that- however using the shortcode simply displays all the locations. I tried location_category=”Cat Name” , location_category=”2″ and location_category=2 . All show every location. Also, when I go to mysite.com/locations/cat-slug nothing shows. Likewise with mysite.com/cat-slug. What do I have to do to get either the shortcode working, or the url showing a category archive page. I would really prefer to use the custom taxonomy that I already created for locations, and display a taxonomy archive page for that. For example mysite.com/locations/cust-tax-slug/

    I am still struggling with this, and any help would be appreciated. I added in the slug rewrite:

    'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'supplier',
                'with_front' => false,
                'hierarchical' => true
            ),

    and also added in a custom taxonomy to ‘posts’ just to see if it was specific to EM. It is, because I see the archive page at mysite.com/test/tesing , “test” being the cust. tax. name, and “testing” being one of the terms.

    Why is this not working for the locations taxonomy? It certainly is possible, as event categories are a custom taxonomy for a custom post (events), and are able to display pages by event category. What needs to be done to enable this same thing for my custom taxonomy on locations?

    unfortunately I don’t have any snippets at hand to help with this… the suggestion looks ok, although I’d do it differently. however, look at line 21, replace

    EM_TAXONOMY_CATEGORY

    with ‘supplier’
