    Hi
    I have a custom post type called asset. it uses the standard wordpress category

    function post_type_asset_page() {
register_post_type(
'asset_page',
array(
'label' => __('Asset Pages'),
'description' => __('Create an asset Page.'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'taxonomies' => array('category'),
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => 'asset' // This controls the base slug that will display before each term
),
'supports' => array (
'title',
'editor',
'custom-fields',
'revisions',
'thumbnail'
)
)
);
}
endif;
add_action('init', 'post_type_asset_page');

    I have a template called archive-asset.php, but I want to make a page for the category webinar.

    I tried called the template taxonomy-category-webinar.php but that didn’t work. What do I call the template to make a category page for my custom post type?

    Hello mrspabs,

    Actually, you have a custom post type of ‘asset_page’ not ‘asset’.
    Where ‘asset’ is the slug you are using for URL rewriting, and ‘asset_page’ is the post type you have registered. Refer to the register_post_type documentation to see that the first param is the post type.

    That being said, I do not believe that your template approach is accurate.
    You’re attempting to create a custom template for a specific category, where “category” is the built-in category taxonomy, and “webinar” is the category slug (if I understand your attempted approach thus far correctly).

    To create an archive template that targets the category with the slug of webinar, you would create a template named category-webinar.php. Please see the Template Hierarchy documentation regarding category templates.
