Hello,
I have categories like News, Articles, Essays, Learning series, Tales etc.
In addition to these categories I want to use “Subject Categories” (Eg: Physics, Chemistry, Biology etc.) for posts in all the above categories. For that, I would like to use Custom Taxonomies.
And I want posts to show this new category. Also the custom taxonomy categories must be listed in sidebar for navigation.
Can I use some free plugins out there to implement it in Newspaper theme?
What are your suggestions?

Hello,
Unfortunately I cannot help you on this as we did not test any custom taxonomies on posts. Our theme supports custom post types and custom taxonomies but I am not sure they will work together with categories. You can simply use a sub-category for the branching hierarchy you mention.
You will have to get some help on this as we do not have any customization department so we cannot offer any custom work at the moment.
Thank you!
Thank you for the information!
Hello Bogdan,
I have created two main categories Articles and Subjects. Then I have have created sub categories under main categories.
Now, my problem is when I select a sub category for the post, the main category also got listed in category spot. Is there any way I can hide the main categories from displaying?

Hi,
Please provide an example of where are the main categories showing and where do you want them removed from so I can provide the proper solution.
Thank you!
Ho Bogdan,
Please find the attached image. Categories shown in red circles are main categories. I don’t want to display the main categories on posts.
Hi,
The categories that show up in the post page are all the categories the posts belong to. if your post belongs to all of the categories then all of them will show up. The e is no simple way of altering this i;m afraid except for you manually removing the categories from the post. What you select here will end up showing on the post: http://screencast.com/t/A9CsF9pJ4rL
Thank you!
Hello,
I understand what you have mentioned. My point is this:
1. I have a main category named Articles.
2. I have sub categories for Articles namely News, Essays, Facts etc.
3. For a post I have selected News and Essays but not selected ‘Articles’ directly. (Both News and Essays are sub categories of ‘Article’)
4. Now the post is showing all three categories, Articles, News and Essays.
5. But I want to show only subcategories News and Articles. (I don’t want to show the main category, which I never selected directly)
Any hope?

Hi,
this is how our theme was built. There is a code added that grabs the parent category as well. Here it is: http://screencast.com/t/Y0WRlo5IA You can remove the code if you want to remove the parent categories.
Thank you!
Thank you Bogdan for the support.
Everything is ok now!
