I'm creating a custom post type with taxonomies in WordPress 4.7.3, but for some reason the taxonomy pages aren't working properly. My custom post type is "events", but the archive-events.php template file isn't working when visiting "mysite.com/events/event-category" or when visiting "mysite.com/events"
Below is my code from functions.php, what am I doing wrong here??? lol
add_action( 'init', 'register_events', 20 );
function register_events() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'All Events', 'events','sonal' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Event', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'add_new_item' => _x( 'Add New Event', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'edit_item' => _x( 'Edit Event', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'new_item' => _x( 'New Event', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'view_item' => _x( 'View Event', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'search_items' => _x( 'Search Events', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'not_found' => _x( 'No Events found...', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => _x( 'No Events found in Trash', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Event:', 'events', 'sonal' ),
'menu_name' => _x( 'Events', 'events', 'sonal' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => __( $labels, 'local' ),
'hierarchical' => true,
'description' => 'events',
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'revisions' ),
'taxonomies' => array( 'events_category'),

);
register_taxonomy( 'events_category', array( 'events' ), $args );
}
//Set Permalinks
function wpa_events_permalinks( $post_link, $post ){
if ( is_object( $post ) && $post->post_type == 'events' ){
$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'events_category' );
if( $terms ){
