CPT - show custom taxonomies
5 replies · Started by Alexander on June 3, 2020
Hello,
first - I searched, I really did. I figured this MUST have been asked before, but I just couldn't find an answer.
I finally took the plunge and added a custom post type "plant" to my site. I've gotten pretty far already and it's all working quite well as far as I can see (masonry, columns, etc.). I also have created custom taxonomies for this CPT (plant_category and plant_tag) and what I can't figure out is how to get these custom taxonomies shown for each post in the archives.
I found https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate-footer-meta-post-types/ but that shows the WP core "category" and "tags" - and not the ones that I assigned/attached/linked/chained to my custom post type.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Alexander.
Hi there,
you can use the generate_category_list_output filter
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_category_list_output/
and for tags the generate_tag_list_output filter
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_tag_list_output/
Example use for adding your custom taxonomy to the terms lists:
add_filter( 'generate_category_list_output', function( $output ) {
$terms = get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), 'your_custom_taxonomy', '', ', ' );
return $output . '<span class="terms"> | ' . $terms . '</span>';
} );Hello David,
I fear it's not quite clear to me what to do now, or I'm missing some kind of connection here. It would seem to me that the snippet https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate-footer-meta-post-types/ is for both the single item view and the archives.
When I adjust it to my "plant" CPT, it does show the navigation in the single item view (ie. https://www.alex-kunz.com/plant/acmispon-americanus-spanish-clover/) and the comment count in the archives (ie. https://www.alex-kunz.com/plant/) - but it doesn't show the plant CPT's category & tag, in either the archives or the single item view.
How do I tell "generate_footer_meta_post_types", with the filters you mentioned, to use the "plant" CPT's category & tags, instead of the normal post category & tags?
Thank you for your help!
Alexander.
Hi there,
This should help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/entry-meta-not-displaying-for-a-cpt/#post-1284466
Let me know :)
Adjusted for my needs and works. Awesome!
Considering that this is only ~3 weeks old and I couldn't find it, maybe a more generalized version of this would be worthy adding the the docs/help articles? :) CPTs with custom taxonomies are fairly common, aren't they? (thinking Jetpack Portfolio, Jetpack Testimonials, etc. etc.)
Thank you, Tom!
I agree - we'll get it added :)
Thanks!
