WordPress - 404 error on custom post type single pages

Question

I use a custom post type, which also should have a custom taxonomy. When I visit the archive page /kollektion/ I can see all items of this CPT, when I visit /kollektion/mytaxonomy1/ I can see all items which are assigned to this taxonomy.

When I click on the single item of the custom post type, I get a 404 error. I also tried to go into my WP dashboard and change and resave the permalinks again - with no success.

Does anybody see an error in my declaration which causes the 404 error on single pages of my custom post type?

Thanks.

Answer 1

It looks like you have the same slug for taxonomy and custom post type. Try to change slug of taxonomy (or CPT) and resave the permalinks - this should help.
