Sorry, no content matched your criteria after creating custom post type

[iefdelaender]

Hello,

I use the modern studio pro theme.

I'm trying to make a custom post type but I've get an error "Sorry, no content matched your criteria" when I click to a category or tag. I filled in a category or tag when I input new content into the custom posts. I see that in my table that a category or tag is associated.

This is my code:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Waterlelie Custom Post Type
Plugin URI: http://wpbeaches.com/create-custom-post-types-in-genesis-child-theme-in-wordpress/
Description: Custom Post Waterlelies database
Author:
Version:1
Author URI:
*/

/*
This code is a plugin to create a Custom Post Type in WordPress, it can be used with any WordPress theme.
The action initialises the function below it.
This example uses the term 'Events' as its name, a search and replace will allow any name to be used, making sure plural and singular versions of the name are replaced.
Also replace the name in 'rewrite' and in the 'register_post_type' function.
For non-Genesis themes the 'genesis-cpt-archives-settings' can be removed from the supports array.
To activate this as a plugin just add to wp-contents/plugins and activate in Dashboard
*/

function create_custom_post_type() {

$labels = array(
'name' => __( 'Waterlelies' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Waterlelies' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Waterlelies' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add new Waterlelie', 'Waterlelies' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add new Waterlelie' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Waterlelie' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Waterlelie' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Waterlelie' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search in Waterlelie' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No Waterlelies found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Waterlelies found in trash' ),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-admin-users',
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'waterlelies' ),
'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
'hierarchical' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'supports' => array( 'genesis-cpt-archives-settings', 'thumbnail' , 'custom-fields', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'title', 'editor')
);
register_post_type( 'Waterlelies', $args );
}

add_action( 'init', 'create_custom_post_type' );

//flush the permalinks - ref - https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Flushing_Rewrite_on_Activation

function my_rewrite_flush() {
// First, we "add" the custom post type via the above written function.
// Note: "add" is written with quotes, as CPTs don't get added to the DB,
// They are only referenced in the post_type column with a post entry,
// when you add a post of this CPT.
create_custom_post_type();

// ATTENTION: This is *only* done during plugin activation hook in this example!
// You should *NEVER EVER* do this on every page load!!
flush_rewrite_rules();
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'my_rewrite_flush' );

You can use this code to add a custom post type via your functions file.

After adding the code, re-save your permalinks.

It didn't work. Still get the message "no content matched" I used the code in the link you give me. I tried an other theme 'genesis sample theme and I deactivated all my plugins and re-saved the permalinks but nothing works.

Link to the CPT archive please.

this is the archive and when you click on a tag or category you will see the no content matched message

I've found the solution of this problem:
https://wpbeaches.com/show-custom-post-types-category-archive-page/

function themeprefix_show_cpt_archives( $query ) {
 if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
 $query->set( 'post_type', array(
 'post', 'nav_menu_item', 'custom-post-type-name'
 ));
 return $query;
 }
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'themeprefix_show_cpt_archives' );
