So that at least there’s a solution here, will add that this plugin seems to succesfully migrate Posts as well as category and hierarchy.: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-convertr. On the production server, I also needed to run the following SQL query after migrating with the Post Type Convertr plugin: UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy SET taxonomy=’project-category’ WHERE taxonomy=’product_cat’; I dunno. Sorry … Read more
You can use filters to modify the SQL. I added something unique in the post_type so I could filter only this query and not change anything else. The query for example $query = new WP_Query(array(‘post_type’=>’something_unique_for_filter’)); And the filter function custom_where($where, $query) { global $wpdb; if(false !== strpos($where, ‘something_unique_for_filter’)) { $where = ” AND post_type=”page” AND … Read more
In general, “bad practice” is so common in the wordpress ecosystem, you will have to do something really bad for anyone to actually signal you out for doing it 😉 If you are the developer and maintainer of the theme, you should develop it in a way which will be easy for you to maintain … Read more
Well, your problem is that you use multi-site for translations in the first place. I strongly suggest Polylang for translations as it’s more reliable and doesn’t require that much maintenance. In your case I suggest you use Yoast or a SEO plugin that allows you to control the indexing status of your post/cpt or individually … Read more
This blog post by “Gazchap” deals with exactly the situation you are, and they updated it after publishing to your follow-up problem: Fortunately, version 4.4 of WordPress introduced a filter – post_edit_category_parent_dropdown_args – that could be used to control the parent terms shown in these meta boxes. It’s designed to let the developer change the … Read more
Have a look at the Taxonomy Parameters for WP_Query. The argument you are missing is include_children, which by default is true, you need to set it to false to not include posts in child terms.
Change: get_the_category() to get_the_terms( null, ‘taxonomy_name’ ). get_category_link( $cat->cat_ID ) to get_term_link( $cat->term_id ). get_category( $category->category_parent ) to get_term( $category->parent ). If you want to use the same function for multiple taxonomies, you can accept the taxonomy name as an argument and pass it to the first item above: function display_cat_level( $level = 0 , … Read more
Old question but maybe it helps someone else: You could do something like this in page.php: $postType = get_post_type(); if($postType == ‘case_study’){ include(‘single-case_study.php’); } else{ // Do your page.php stuff
I can see you are trying to be clear but still a really confusingly worded question, broke my brain a bit. I think this might achieve what you want, but I’m not fully sure if I understand you correctly or not. Try it out anyway, it may or may not work: $downloads_parent_posts = get_posts( array( … Read more
My question here is, which of the arguments are responsible for the correct ordering of the children under the parent taxonomy category? None — the orderby arg only sorts the categories and not grouping them (placing them under their own parent), so you would need to manually do the grouping. And setting orderby to parent … Read more
