Apologies in advance if I'm missing something blindingly obvious.

I have tagged content for which I have set up a view that uses a contextual filter to organize the pages by year (.../2025, .../2024, etc.).

I'd like to be able to put a menu block on those pages. I set up a layout with a path of taxonomy/term/% and a condition of the URL of the pages plus an asterisk (specifically, crime/murder/* - I write about crime).

Menu didn't show. I noticed I could also set a visibility condition for the block  itself, so I set that to look for a taxonomy term set to the TID of the specific term used to tag posts).  Did that, didn't help.

Any suggestions most welcome!

I tried something similar with a Custom Block (instead of a menu). It did work for me. 

  1. I enabled the Taxonomy Term view
  2. I created a layout for path taxonomy/term/%
  3. I created a custom block in that layout with dummy text
  4. My path alias is the default (tags/*), so I added a condition to the custom block for URL tags/*

That worked. In your path, is crime/murder/ your alias pattern for that vocabulary? If you open your vocab at admin/structure/taxonomy/VOCABULARY/configure what's in the Default URL alias pattern?

Oh, that might be my problem! I've set the layout for taxonomy/term/1134 (the TID for the term in question), but the view is generating an entirely new page, not rebuilding that specific taxonomy page (so, in fact, I have two pages on the site now with the same basic content, just one looks like every other taxonomy page, while the other has a year filter and a map). Thanks, now to go fix that.
