    See video: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/24127939?key=2de62d62d45e75024915a924bcb369bf

    - See CPT: Member Contents
    - See Custom Taxonomy: Content Type - archive pages work find
    - See Custom Taxonomy: Topics - it shows posts are assigned, but when clicked, nothing is returned.

    The other custom taxonomies work as expected. I can't find any differences in how they're set up.

    Hello,

    Do you see the term slug in the URL when clicking on the number of posts in the term table? Like this

    wp-admin/edit.php?topic=client-facing&post_type=member-content

    Please check if there is another taxonomy that has the same slug topic on your site and try to deactivate all plugins except Meta Box plugins, switch to a WordPress theme and check this issue again.

    Hi Peter -

    Thanks for your response.
    It's because I have forums on the site and 'topics' is used there as the slug 🙃

    Is it possible to change the slug of the taxonomy without losing all of the data? I have hundreds of posts, all assigned to multiple topics - it would be awful to lose.

    I used to use Pods and I recall it had a way to update the database automatically if you had to change the slug. Is there an option for this here?

    Thank you!
