I have a header with a menu that is created by query-looping the pages + 2 extra manually added dropdowns that queryloop taxonomies.

The header menu is rendered correctly on all the pages, but on a taxonomy page, where archive template is aplied, the pages do not show. Just manually added items do.

In the editor, when I edit the archive template, the header shows list of CPT titles instead of pages.

What could be the reason of this? Bug or I am doing something wrong?

Hi,
Thanks so much for your report!

Most likely merging queries. Have you already tried to enable the “disable query merge” toggle?

Best regards,

Thank you. Fixed. I didn’t understand this setting should be applied here. Is it because I have nested loops? Never used it before in such cases.

It can happen for various reasons that different loops/queries get in each other’s way and influence each other. Don’t worry… and remember to activate the toggle if they behave “strangely”. In most cases, this will solve the problem.
