[Resolved] Any advanced docs? Elements – Content Template – Apply to Post w term – Location

Yes I have seen it. It’s great! Sincere thanks for forwarding the link. That’s what actually inspired me.

The issue are these CPT with assigned taxonomies and the WP limitations out of the box to have it connected. Hopefully in future version they’ll see a need to “fix” this. I can’t be the only one though it’s difficult to google / find on stackexchange / other sites.

This is a dev site install I’m working on. I’ll mess around with it.

I may just ditch custom taxonomies, which I’d rather not do, and just use the built in Wp Core Categories. I think Leo’s video tutorial would allow me to accomplish my “Main Goal” (different colored wrapper containers for the CPT showcase based on one of six categories (this time using Wp core categories rather thank custom taxonomies)).

Sincere thanks for all your guys and gals help / patience the last few support questions. I really appreciate it.

This is going to be my business portfolio site so it’s important to me to really showcase my vision and style, be representational of creative solutions I design and develop for my products ideas for launch as well as the value I bring to the table with solving client needs.

Ok. This is what I have. This isn’t work though. Does this strategy make any sense. Appreciate input. My coding if statements may be incorrect. Basically I have a CPT named “showcase”. I now have six Wp core categories. I’m trying to run an if statement to check if..
is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ )
And next if it has a Wp core category of …. one of six
has_category(‘campaign’)

If so, echo out inline style of background-color that i already got working in first function assigned to same class. Possibly the issue is it now needs to “override that style”???

// add inline style to header for cpt container block

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘j66co_showcase_container_wrapper_colors’, 100);

function j66co_showcase_container_wrapper_colors()
{
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #1c2023;}</style>”; // dark black – archives all
}

add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘j66co_color_container’, 900 );

function j66co_color_container() {
if ( is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ ) && has_category(‘campaign’)) {
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #0ab2e1;}</style>”; // bright blue – campaigns 01
}
if ( is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ ) && has_category(‘j66_product’)) {
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #1c2023;}</style>”; // dark black – j66 products 02
}
if ( is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ ) && has_category(‘photography’)) {
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #1c2023;}</style>”; // dark black – photography 03
}
if ( is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ ) && has_category(‘video_production’)) {
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #57bb55;}</style>”; // moss green – video production 04
}
if ( is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ ) && has_category(‘web_app’)) {
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #a6191b;}</style>”; // brick red – web apps 05
}
if ( is_post_type_archive ( ‘showcase’ ) && has_category(‘web_app’)) {
echo “<style>.j66co-cpt-main-wrapper{background-color: #a6191b;}</style>”; // brick red – web design 06
}
}

Hi David,

Sincere thanks for the reply

Question 1:
Nice!! This is a bonus. Didn’t know it was possible. The only problem with it now is it’s defaulting to Wp template structure and not using the GeneratePress setup i have with either a Element header blocks or Element Content template for All CPT archives which would be the grid we just left, yes. Alternately, it may be the Wp core category layout archive grid layout. Not sure if I built one. I’ll check/

Either way, Elements header isn’t being pulled in though

Question 2

Style for class is to be applied only to the archive page for the CPT showcase. The class name, .j66co-cpt-main-wrapper , only exist in the Elements – Content Template that replaced the template for location – All Showcase Archives

Hence, design goal is a color grid of CPT on showcase archive page. If statement echos <style> background-color into .j66co-cpt-main-wrapper of each archive post container wrapper conditionally based on if its a)showcase cpt b)which category it belongs to.

Ok i actually got this to work. It finally made sense once I assigned Wp core categories to it cpt that i could use straight up css. Sincere thanks for the tip.

Is there a filter though to make the other issue 1 work? It’s set correctly. It’s the same thing with Elements – Block – Header. Location won’t let me choose “All category archives”. It switches back to All Showcase archives. All continue to search the GP forum / google.
