You can add categories and pages with a hook function add_taxonomies_to_pages() { register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘post_tag’, ‘page’ ); register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘category’, ‘page’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘add_taxonomies_to_pages’ );
Category archives
No Category is an taxonomy but not an custom taxonomy. Custom taxonomies need to be created via code, and you will have an different type of categories.
while I was posting the question I saw this link How to only show posts on last child category and it helped me solve the last piece of the puzzle . now it can be done:)))
I usually do this by getting data from database $result = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM wp_terms JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id WHERE wp_term_taxonomy.parent = “.$parent_cat_ID.” AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘product_cat'”);
review https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category vs https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category to check for a category archive, use https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category
yes we can hide category by using plugin yoast seo got to advanced of seo and in that go to permalinks mark up the 1st option Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL ” and save its all done now
Use different file includes for single.php
Each taxonomy object will have _builtin set to 1 for native taxonomies, so check $taxonomy->_builtin in your foreach loop first before fetching the terms.
Add this parameter: ‘select’ => false The solution is in the WordPress Codex Function Reference for wp_dropdown_categories: The default value for the selected parameter is 0, but this can cause a dropdown with all terms marked as selected. To fix this, set the selected parameter to false, rather than 0.
