Use 2 separate post types. It will save confusion now, and provide flexibility later if you decide to do more with each of the posts. There will be a bit more work, but the payout will be worth it. When you’re setting up the CPTs, they will automatically have archive pages and the individual posts … Read more
How can i remove post type archive URL?
I handled this with a pre_get_posts hook (thanks, @Milo), passing in the URL part that corresponds to the slug I need. Hope this helps someone down the road. Improvements are welcome. Thanks. function filter_team_news_archives_by_sport_taxonomy($query) { if (is_post_type_archive(‘team-news’) && $query->is_main_query()){ // Get $sport_slug from URL — https://stackoverflow.com/a/36002190/4107296 $url = (isset($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]) ? “https” : “http”) . “://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]”; … Read more

I have tested your code and it works just fine. The thing that I think you are missing is flushing the permalinks by going to WP Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks and click Save Changes.
You can use get_categories() to grab details about all of the categories that exist in the database – that way you know which IDs are active categories and which are not. Just so you are aware, by default, get_categories() will only return categories that contain at least 1 post. You can force empty categories to … Read more
Featured image on archive page based on post type
Isn’t this easily to be achieved by checking if ?s= is set ? You do have to output the results of this search on the same page, by using the post archive link as action url. if ( isset( $_GET[s] ) { // show posts }
