Custom page template not recognized with permalinks on

Phew after an extremely lengthy investigation I have been able to
identify that this is direclty related to the fact I had a custom
taxonomy called “year”. Year is already used by wordpress in the
permalinks and this was causing all the problems.

I have now had to rename my custom taxonomy. So it is no longer year.

  • I found a solution after a bit of searching around.
