Archive displaying all associated categories

    My issue is explained in depth via this screenshare walkthrough: https://ae22.wistia.com/reviews/bafv6o04sf but essentially, I have a custom post type and custom taxonomy created through Pods that I’m displaying on an archive themer layout. I’m using the custom taxonomy to display 2 different post types (downloads and articles) in 2 different sections on the page. This used to work fine but now when I double up the taxonomy on the downloads post type, it displays ALL of the downloads from all tagged taxonomies instead of just the taxonomy associated with the archive page itself. I’m having some trouble with this because it isn’t consistent. My old archives are mostly correct, but there’s a few instances where it is showing all tagged taxonomies and it always shows them when I’m making edits to existing or new downloads. Since all of the unedited old archives work, it almost seems like a glitch from an update in the past few months as this wasn’t a problem when we posted a new magazine issue last quarter.

    Any ideas? I’ve also reached out to PowerPack, but since this issue seems to only affect my custom post types, I wonder if it might be a Pods issue.

    Apologies for the delayed reply.

    Pods only registers the post types with WordPress, while the query and display in this case is being handled by Beaver Builder.

    The challenge may be caused by the use of the Beaver Builder field “match all related” in the Filters section, rather than Post Taxonomy Filter at the bottom of those settings.

    When developers write “related” in a WordPress context, it can frequently be meant as something along the lines of “find all content that shares any categories, tags, or other taxonomies”, while taxonomy filters are the usual expected behavior behind core WordPress archive pages.

    All queries run to display content on a page can also be inspected with Query Monitor
