When I do this, I get the desired result from this page, but all of my other page links break (using permalinks.) Because, quite simply, WordPress hasn’t got a clue you’re asking for a page. It’s doing what you told it to do; For all URLs that look like http://example.com/X, look for posts with messagetype’s … Read more
A bit late but thought this could use updating. Create your custom taxonomy and add the terms you need, then go back to your register_taxonomy() function and set the capabilities argument (which itself accepts an array of capabilities). You can see how I setup sex for dogs which can only ever have two values–”Male” or … Read more
Starting from WordPress 4.4, you can use add_term_meta function to store metadata for a term. This is basically a key-value pair information which is stored in wp_termmeta table. Original Answer(Prior to WP 4.4) WordPress doesn’t have the option to add extra information to taxonomies. There isn’t any taxonomy_meta table. So, you have two options. Create … Read more
Use an instance of WP_Query to query the database. http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query To query database for custom taxonomies use, $query = new WP_Query( array( ‘people’ => ‘bob’ ) ); For more details on available options see: Taxonomy Parameters http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters Retrieve published posts using ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ Use found_posts to retrive the number of posts $count = $query->found_posts;
EDIT 2 As promised, here is the code to the plugin. It is a known fact that custom taxonomies and custom post types should go into a plugin, and not in your theme. I have stripped parts from my plugin. HOW IT WORKS The taxonomy is registered as normal through the plugin. For any info … Read more
You seem to need “partial verbose rewrite rules”. Verbose rewrite rules means all the pages are put on top because WordPress can’t figure out the difference between a page and a post. Here it thinks it can, because all URLs of the form portfolio/([^/]+)/ are from your portfolio taxonomy, except this one portfolio/clients/. You will … Read more
A bit late but I just learned how to remove the taxonomy cloud. In your taxonomy label definition change this line ‘popular_items’ => __( ‘Popular Regions’ ), to this ‘popular_items’ => NULL, and the tag cloud will no longer appear
There are probably some better ways to do this but you can always do a three simple foreach loops. I wrote an example function that does the job well and should serve you as a good starting point: function print_taxonomic_ranks( $terms=”” ){ // check input if ( empty( $terms ) || is_wp_error( $terms ) || … Read more
You can block addition of new terms with a filter on pre_insert_term. The source is helpful in working out what you can do. add_action( ‘pre_insert_term’, function ( $term, $taxonomy ) { return ( ‘yourtax’ === $taxonomy ) ? new WP_Error( ‘term_addition_blocked’, __( ‘You cannot add terms to this taxonomy’ ) ) : $term; }, 0, … Read more
However, this will turn ALL terms checkboxes to radio buttons. Not only that, it’ll turn any checkbox in a meta box – not ideal! Instead, let’s specifically target the wp_terms_checklist() function, which is used to generate the list of checkboxes across the admin (including quick edit). /** * Use radio inputs instead of checkboxes for … Read more
