Custom taxonomy returns 404

[greenshady]

When creating a custom taxonomy, everything works great with the auto-handling of everything. This issue occurs when a taxonomy archive is being viewed.

add_action( 'init', 'create_my_taxonomies', 1 );

function create_my_taxonomies() {
	register_taxonomy( 'animals', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'label' => 'Animals', 'query_var' => 'animals', 'rewrite' => true ) );

	register_taxonomy( 'places', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'label' => 'Places', 'query_var' => 'places', 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'places' ) ) );

	register_taxonomy( 'people', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'label' => 'People', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => false ) );
}

I set up three taxonomies here. If setting rewrite to true or to a specific slug, a 404 is returned when visiting the taxonomy archive (first two taxonomies).

Example URL: http://localhost/places/andromeda (404)

If setting rewrite to false, no posts are returned when visiting the taxonomy archives (last taxonomy).

Example URL: http://localhost/?people=angel (no posts)

This is huge considering that the new "auto-taxonomy" stuff has been added in this version.

This was working great at an earlier revision, but I can't be sure which one. The taxonomy archive would list posts just like the tag archives would but doesn't now.

Looks like this was fixed in revision #11389 somehow.

There have been some fixes in this area. Thanks for the confirmation.

This issue has returned, exactly as described above, since updating to revision #11423.

[ryan]

See #8731

Is this a regression since 2.7.1, or is it broken there too?

[greenshady]

It's working great for me in 2.7.1.
