[Resolved] Make cpt photography assigned taxonomies display correctly GB – pre_get_posts

Ok. I’m back to this again.

Objective 1:
Limit posts to 6 across the site.

Status:
Resolved

I have the following code in section two below (which i know is not written well; I’m not sure how to write arrays).
This limits the number of posts to 6 basically across the site.

What’s interesting is somehow this from section two code

add_filter( ‘generate_elements_custom_args’, function( $args ) {

$args[‘suppress_filters’] = true;

return $args;
} );

…with pre_get_posts

Allows the CPT of “showcase” to appear in the archive of the wp core categories and tags.
It does not though work automatically for the CPT “photography”.

Thus, I tried adding this code snippet. It unfortunately didn’t work.

“How to add your new post type to WordPress category and tag archives”
https://docs.pluginize.com/article/17-post-types-in-category-tag-archives

function my_cptui_add_post_types_to_archives( $query ) {
// We do not want unintended consequences.
if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() ) {
return;
}

if ( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] ) ) {
$cptui_post_types = cptui_get_post_type_slugs();

$query->set(
‘post_type’,
array_merge(
array( ‘post’ ),
$cptui_post_types
)
);
}
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_cptui_add_post_types_to_archives’ );

Any suggestion from here??

The coding issue is I don’t know how to write an array.

It makes sense what you’re saying regarding potential conflicts.

Both showcase and photography are CPT.

The issue
Custom taxonomies assigned to CPT.

The site structure strategy I already change once. It was a major change as I ditched all CPT taxonomies because of “the issue” and opted to just use Wp core category and tags.

So the problem that remains is on the CPT photography for some reason it’s not allowing itself to be displayed in Wp core taxonomies archive results.

Hopefully this makes sense.

OK. This is working. I condensed the array. thank you for showing me how to write that. I wish there was a way to do that for the rest of the code. I’m using per_get_posts many times and know where am I having to add the code to display CPT with wp core categories and tags; it’s just happening on its own. Not sure why.

All this is in one snippet. Want to condense it more? See anything?

Updated. I think this is correct. It’s not going to work though

add_filter( ‘generate_elements_custom_args’, function( $args ) {
$args[‘suppress_filters’] = true;
return $args;
} );

function j66co_posts_per_page_and_post_type($query) {

if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
// Not a query for an admin page.
// It’s the main query for a front end page of your site.

if ( ( is_category() || is_tag() || is_post_type_archive( ‘photography’ ) ) && empty( $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] ) ) {
$query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 6);
}
if ( ( is_category() || is_tag() || is_post_type_archive( ‘showcase’ ) ) && empty( $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] ) ) {
$query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 4);
}

if( ( is_category() || is_tag() ) && empty( $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] ) ) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘showcase’, ‘photography’) );
}
return $query;
}
}
add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘j66co_posts_per_page_categories’, 99, 1);

This “condensed code” should work but it’s not.
