Custom Post Type – Custom Taxonomy: Page Title, Breadcrumbs, Sidebar

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 29

Hi

I have a page displaying a custom post type / custom taxonomy and it’s having several issues.

1) The page title which should be the custom taxonomy does not show up nor do the bread crumbs and I have the page template as “Pagebuilder + page title”. I have also configured the Custom taxonomy in the Newspaper Theme Panel.

2) No matter how I create the sidebar on this page the value that I believe should be the page title overwrites much of the text in the sidebar.

Example:

Any help would be appreciated!

thanks

Hi,

1. The templates for custom post types need to be set manually, you ca check our documentation for this here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/

2. I do not quite understand the problem, the sidebar is not displaying properly ?

If this is not what you mean, please provide some more details and some screenshots.

Hope this will help you!

Hi the link above does not help as I feel I have set everything there correctly already, but would be happy for you to review in case I’m missing something.

Further down on the page other values in the sidebar are being over written with the Category name: https://snipboard.io/TFY0np.jpg

Thanks for your help.

Hi thanks for your time, some additional data:

CPT Screen: https://snipboard.io/Up8MBa.jpg
Sidebar built in the widget area: https://snipboard.io/2STuJa.jpg
Sidebar custom html from the bottom box in the above screenshot:
[td_block_title title_tag=”h4″ custom_title=”Magazine” tdc_css=”eyJhbGwiOnsibWFyZ2luLWJvdHRvbSI6Ii0xNSIsImRpc3BsYXkiOiIifX0=”][td_flex_block_1 modules_on_row=”” limit=”1″ hide_audio=”yes” meta_info_align=”initial” category_id=”33″ image_height=”133″ show_author=”none” show_com=”none” show_excerpt=”none” show_audio=”none” show_btn=”none” hide_image=”” modules_category=”” meta_margin=”0 0 5px 0″ show_date=”none” show_review=”none” show_cat=”none”]

The page template: https://snipboard.io/Z8DH2j.jpg

The Directory Plugin I’m using has an option to set the category page (which I’m choosing to do with the above page template) I have tried not using the page template as well and I get poor results as well.

Thanks.

Hi,

1. For a CPT you can try our test plugin from here -> https://i.imgur.com/BjAAWBT.png this custom post type from what i can see is working well and is displaying the breadcrumbs and post title -> https://i.imgur.com/3XtKp5A.png -> https://i.imgur.com/m2pBMgO.png
Also on pages the breadcrumbs and page title appear only if you have set the page template set on -> https://i.imgur.com/yZFIKz7.png -> https://i.imgur.com/Pwlt75O.jpg

2. For the sidebar please set the shortcode in a column text or text instead of the custom html, the shortcoeds work better for the with these elements.

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

Hi thanks for your support.

I should note I am on newspaper 10.3 and I am not using the Standard Pack.

I installed the Books CPT and created a post. When I view the post I am not seeing the breadcrumbs, sidebar, genre, or authors.

Hi,

For me this is working https://i.imgur.com/VJbc6Fq.png -> https://i.imgur.com/sgvGnJN.png -> https://i.imgur.com/oJbEcqM.png -> https://i.imgur.com/wM8ckzq.png
If think that for you is not working because you are using a child theme, please set the main theme and it should work, if you are using the child theme you need to make the custom post type template and set it in the child.

Thank you!

Hi I’ve made some progress with this by going away from the Child Theme.

The breadcrumbs look off though https://snipboard.io/do9LUA.jpg and do not look like they are respecting the settings in the Theme Panel: https://snipboard.io/ucJxpg.jpg

Any thoughts?

thanks
