[Support request] Custom Post Type Archive Filter

[Manuel]

Hello
I created a CPT through this page here (https://generatewp.com/post-type/) and included it through my child theme.
Now I would like to add a filter option to the custom post type archive.
On the archive page I would like to be able to filter by taxonomy, so that only the articles with the selected taxonomy are displayed.
Can you help me here how I could implement this with GP?
Thanks

Hi Manuel,

There isn’t a filter option built-in in GP so it will require a custom solution or a plugin.

Perhaps this one would work?

Hi Leo,

I am not sure if a plugin is working since i would like to use the layout for the post types generated by GP Elements Block – Content Template.
Do you have any hints how to achive this? Do i need to copy the archive.php page?

[Leo]

I feel like it should work. The content template simply changes the appearance of the post loop and does not change the structure behind it.

Maybe give it a shot first?

I took a look at the plugin, but it actually uses its own post type layout :/

[Leo]

Ahh that’s unfortunate.

Things like filters would require custom javascript so it’s quite complicated.

Maybe try looking for another plugin?
