[wp-hackers] Please help diagnose custom post type permalinkproblem

[David F. Carr]

Philip, thanks for giving me some other things to check.

The taxonomy code I'm using (adapted from an example in the codex) is below.
Don't think it's the source of the problem, which was originally reported on
an earlier release that didn't have a taxonomy added.

  // Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)
  $labels = array(
    'name' => _x( 'Event Types', 'taxonomy general name' ),
    'singular_name' => _x( 'Event Type', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
    'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Event Types' ),
    'all_items' => __( 'All Event Types' ),
    'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Event Type' ),
    'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Event Type:' ),
    'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Event Type' ),
    'update_item' => __( 'Update Event Type' ),
    'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Event Type' ),
    'new_item_name' => __( 'New Event Type' ),
    'menu_name' => __( 'Event Type' ),
  );

  register_taxonomy('rsvpmaker-type',array('rsvpmaker'), array(
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'labels' => $labels,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'rsvpmaker-type' ),
  ));
