[Resolved] Show Taxonomy Categories on Archive instead of posts

[David]

Hello

Is there anyway of showing custom taxonomy categories on custom post archive page, instead of the posts like I have here…

Thanks

Hi there,

It’s possible, but you would need to create a custom template and loop the categories instead of the posts. Unfortunately it’s quite a bit job, so it’s not really something I can provide code for in here.

Thanks Tom, I’ve got this sorted now.

On the custom taxonomy archive page, what do I need to do to make sure images are cropped to the same size on the category page?

I’ve added this to functions but doesn’t seem to work…

add_filter( ‘generate_blog_image_attributes’,’tu_variable_image_sizes’ );
function tu_variable_image_sizes( $atts ) {
// Set up our conditional
if ( is_post_type_archive( ‘memorialcateogories’ ) ) {
$atts[ ‘width’ ] = 800;
$atts[ ‘height’ ] = 600;
$atts[ ‘crop’ ] = true;
}

// Return our options
return $atts;
}

I would do this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    add_image_size( 'memorial-categories', 800, 600, true );
} );

add_filter( 'generate_page_header_default_size', function( $size ) {
    if ( is_post_type_archive( 'memorialcategories' ) ) {
        return 'memorial-categories';
    }

    return $size;
} );

You may need to regenerate your thumbnails once you add this code: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
