16233,Custom taxonomy archive returns 404 when it contains only custom post types,sillybean,,"I'm working with a few custom taxonomies that are registered only for a custom post type, not posts or pages. The archive pages return 404s unless I add posts or pages to the taxonomy's content object argument.

Here's the post type:
{{{
register_post_type(
	'course', 
	array(
		'labels' => array(
		'name' => __( 'Courses' ),
		'singular_name' => __( 'Course' ),
		'add_new' => __('Add New'),
		'add_new_item' => __('Add New Course'),
		'edit_item' => __('Edit Course'),
		'new_item' => __('New Course'),
		'view_item' => __('View Course'),
		'search_items' => __('Search Courses'),
		'not_found' => __('No courses found'),
		'not_found_in_trash' => __('No courses found in Trash'),
		'menu_name' => __('Courses'),
	),
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'map_meta_cap' => true,
	'capabilities' => array(
		'edit_post' => 'edit_course',
		'read_post' => 'read_course',
		'delete_post' => 'delete_course',
	),
	'description' => __('Individual course data'),
	'public' => true, 
	'show_ui' => true,
	'hierarchical' => false,
	'menu_icon' => get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/bank.png',
	'register_meta_box_cb' => 'course_meta_boxes',
	'supports' => array(
	'title',
	'editor',
	'author',
	'excerpt',
	'custom-fields',
	'revisions',)
	) 
);
}}}

And one of the taxonomies:

{{{
register_taxonomy(
	'college',
	'course',
	array(
		'labels' => array(
		'name' => __( 'Colleges' ),
		'singular_name' => __( 'College' ),
		'search_items' => __( 'Search Colleges' ),
		'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Colleges' ),
		'all_items' => __( 'All Colleges' ),
		'parent_item' => __( 'Parent College' ),
		'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent College:' ),
		'edit_item' => __( 'Edit College' ),
		'update_item' => __( 'Update College' ),
		'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New College' ),
		'new_item_name' => __( 'New College Name' ),
		'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separate colleges with commas' ),
		'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Add or remove colleges' ),
		'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Choose from the most used colleges' ),
		'menu_name' => __('Colleges'), 
	),
	'hierarchical' => true,
	)
);
}}}

Create a few courses, assign them to colleges, and the archives (e.g. /college/liberal-arts) don't work.

If I change the taxonomy definition to include posts (or pages), the archive suddenly work.

	'college',
	'course',
	array(
		'labels' => array(),
	'hierarchical' => true,
	)
);
