I have several custom post types assigned to category, but they do not display on the category pages. I would think this would be a normal course of action, since the settings are there. How can I get them to display, without frankensteining the code?
Hi,
i think that you assigned for each post type a taxonomy ( as category ), if is so please check our documentation for custom post type -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/ , you can show the assigned category/taxonomy only if you make changes in the theme files, also now the child theme is not longer working as in previous versions of theme -> https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Thank you!
The screenshots look different from what we see, so we must have to upgrade. Will a child theme no longer work with the new version? Will we have to modify the theme files directly? If so, how is it possible to keep the theme up-to-date after doing that without losing our work?
Hi,
How exactly are you adding categories to custom post types? From what I know that is no possible by default. Maybe with a plugin or through code it is possible to do. But even if the custom post types have categories, they wouldn’t appear in the category pages and theme modules. They will appear in the taxonomy pages.
We are currently working on providing the same child theme functionality as before the 9.7 update when there were major changes. Now the child theme is limited to just the required files, stylesheet and functions.
Thanks
I did so through the functions (‘taxonomies’=> array( ‘category’, ‘post_tag’ )) as well as on the Theme Panel under Custom post types. We are on version 9.6. I think this setting might have been removed from the earlier version. I was thinking this particular setting would do the job for me; otherwise, the setting appears to be pointless and does nothing. Guess I’ll have to go in and customize theme files then.
Good to know about the child theme. Updating would completely remove the functionality we need to keep.
