Drupal 8 view works in preview but not showing on page

Question

I am using Drupal 8.

I have created a simple view. It is designed so that content with a taxonomy term (category) has a contextual filter.

I am wanting that a user can click on a category in an a custom content type of HowTo, and go to that category page, and on that page they can see a list of all other HowTo articles with the same category.

In the view editor, in the preview, it is working, with the contextual filter.

However, when I try this on the category page, it does not work.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Answer 1

The issue for me was the url alias pattern was category/[term:name] and my view url was category/%. I changed the alias to [term:name] and it started working. So now my terms can be viewed at category/term.

I think the taxonomy term node was overriding the view display.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. In my case, was caused by having multiple views with the same path.
