[wp-hackers] custom taxonomy list page?

[Joshua Sibelman]

Hi Jeff,

Adding the slug explicitly as 'main-ingredient' did not work for me. It was one of the first things I tried. With or without that directive, '/main-ingredient/chicken' yielded results, where '/main-ingredient/' did not.

If you have this working, I'd love to see a working example and how you did it.

Thanks.
