Hi @EAMann: I cringe anytime I need to do something creative with URLs in WordPress as the URL system is in my opinion by far the most inelegant aspect of WordPress. I always feel like I’m having to fight WordPress to get it to do what I want, and that WordPress is actively fighting me … Read more
When you have two content objects with a similar interface or shared properties, you have a good candidate for hierarchical post types. Take places as an example (see this answer): Asia Europe Germany Berlin Austria Vienna Each place has similar meta data: population, geo coordinates, spoken languages. You just can reuse the same interface. Plus, … Read more
First of all – plugins are for generating content, themes are for displaying it. So really, a plugin shouldn’t do this. But there are grey areas – for example in an ‘events’ related plugin, it would be desirable to display dates, venue etc – things that a WordPress theme wouldn’t normally display. I would suggest … Read more
Using standard WordPress functionalities this is, simply, not possible, unless using complicated and poorly performing tricks. The method I suggest you is to create your custom table where store relationship. It should consists of 5 columns: person_id | post_id | post_type | taxonomy | term_id Now, copying out your example: Person A may be the … Read more
For some reason, Woocommerce doesn’t seem to want you to do this. Not sure why, because requiring it to be done manually is a problem for scalability in a number of cases (not to mention, if you have attributes with a lot of possible values, the interface they provide loads really slowly). After digging a … Read more
This is probably because your taxonomy is hierarchical, and the default meta box for such taxonomies is similar to the category box – which displays all terms as input elements. So the browser lag for thousands of elements within a page is expected in this case. If you can’t make your taxonomy non-hierarchical, try removing … Read more
okay now i found the code that makes it able to use a custom taxonomy to show related posts for a custom post type. $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , ‘product_tags’, ‘string’); is the custom taxonomy in which you should put to query all the tags in your custom post type ‘post_type’ => ‘products’ is the … Read more
I don’t know how or why, but this code below solved by issue. Seems to me like I shouldn’t need it, but apparently I do. add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, array(&$this, ‘modify_pre_query_request’)); public function modify_pre_query_request($query){ if ($query->is_main_query()){ if ($query->is_tax){ $post_type = get_query_var(‘post_type’); if (!$post_type){ $post_type = array( ‘post’, ‘YOUR POST TYPE’ ); $query->set(‘post_type’, $post_type); } } } } Keep … Read more
The get_terms() (see docs) function accepts the same args as WP_Term_Query(see docs) You have to get those terms Ids first and then pass it to the exclude arg: // default to not exclude terms $ids_to_exclude = array(); $get_terms_to_exclude = get_terms( array( ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, ‘slug’ => array( ‘graduate’, ‘job-market-candidate’, ‘graduate-student’, ‘research’ ), ‘taxonomy’ => ‘role’, … Read more
+1ed Pieter Goosen’s answer, but this time I want to be the one who advocate the “make it simple” way. In your taxonomy-earth.php template, you can check if the queried term as a parent, and require another template if so. If you ask this question, I guess you already have (or wish to create) 2 … Read more
