I think the best way to do it is to create a custom template page and get the list of terms (or whatever you need) on that template. template-activities-taxonomy.php <?php /* Template Name: Activities Taxonomy */ get_header(); ?> <? $terms = get_terms( ‘activities’ ); if ( ! empty( $terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) … Read more
Thanks for your question, and welcome to the world of WordPress. Many people here may say this isn’t the right question for this site, but I think it’s a great one! There’s really no perfect way to do WordPress, and almost always there are a lot of options to do it right or well. Categories … Read more
RedirectMatch of Mod_Alias is not as powerful as Mod_Rewrite. If you have Mod_Rewrite on your host (Pretty Permalinks make use of it for example) you could make the redirect only if the URL is not in the Archive link format. To test for that case, there is RewriteCond and to make the redirect command, there … Read more
The Matt’s Community Tags (WordPress Plugin) might contain some code that is of use for what you would like to achieve.
The Template Hierarchy Codex entry is your friend. Archive page for category hair: category-hair.php Archive page for taxonomy shampoo: taxonomy-shampoo.php Archive page for taxonomy shampoo term dry: taxonomy-shampoo-dry.php To display some cross-query between different taxonomies, such as category and a custom taxonomy, such as hair, you’ll need to do a custom query, and display it … Read more
The have_posts() function checks if the ‘main query’ returned any posts. is_tax can check if a certain taxonomy archive page is being shown. In this case, the solution (taken from the comments): if( is_tax( ‘genre’ ) && !have_posts() ){ //Display widget }
I’d say go with categories: it seems your categories are already being used for ‘back-end’ purposes, so I’d imagine they’re already hidden from the front-end users. Otherwise, go for a custom taxonomy (something like ‘issue’ taxonomy perhaps), which is a bit more work, but gives you a lot more control. Take a look at the … Read more
Before I start again, I just want to reinforce the fact you should not run a custom query in place of the main query on your archive pages. Please see this post to learn when you should use a custom query and where not. I you do not switch back to the default loop, then … Read more
Making it a taxonomy and allowing the client to edit the term title & description would be an option I’d consider. The theme may or may not be using a custom template-file to control the cpt-archive’s front-end. Using a page-template would be ill-advised because by loading the post-type and the page at the same url, … Read more
It’s not because of the archive_box in cpt-archive-settings.php but because of genesis_taxonomy_archive_options in genesis/lib/admin/term-meta.php. You can remove it using if you place the following in child theme: remove_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘genesis_add_taxonomy_archive_options’ ); Update: Those settings are appearing because of the action genesis_add_taxonomy_archive_options attached to admin_init hook. add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘genesis_add_taxonomy_archive_options’ ); Which again is like this function … Read more
