Same template for category and tag taxonomies

1

Is it possible to use the same template for both category and tag archives? It seems like this should work (according to the docs), but it doesn’t:

<Loop type="post" taxonomy=current terms=current count="15" orderby="menu_order" order="asc">

If I change taxonomy from taxonomy=current to taxonomy=tag or taxonomy=category, it works. But if I leave it as taxonomy=current, no results show.

I can’t use a loop with no parameters because I need to adhere to the order of posts set by the user.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rob, welcome to the L&L forum! I haven’t played around much with loading templates on taxonomy term archives, so I gave this a try myself and you’re right that there seems to be some kind of bug here with taxonomy=current and terms=current. I’ve reported my findings in a Github issue so we’ll have a dev take a look into resolving this.

Hi @rhkittredge, it seems this has been solved in this commit and will be included in the next release of L&L. If you need the fix urgently, you can download the latest version directly from Github in the interim before it gets released on the WP plugin repo.
