Hi there,

You mentioned CPT use on your homepage coming soon. So far I can put one CPT in an block. Is it possible to filter CPTs by category and tag to have different categories of the same CPT on the homepage? That way they would behave as normal wp posts.

Cheers

Hello,

the custom post type filter should work with categories and tags taxonomies if your CPT use them. Please make sure to have V 1.7.1

Hi Radu,

Thanks for the reply.

I can filter by tag, but with categories I can’t filter yet (Verison 1.7.1)

When I go to “Edit Block” I can only see “Category filter” with the categories from the normal wp posts. Where do I put the categories to filter?

Hi Marius,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried your suggestion, but no luck.
I’m using Events Manager plugin. I have a category “Musik” with the ID fo 6. I have a tag slug “musik” and the name of my CPT is “event”.

Please tell me where to put what to make it work. I think I’m lost. Cheers.

Hello,

try this:

1. for cetegory id6: http://screencast.com/t/VYpVIeRTMDBW
2. for the event post type: http://screencast.com/t/fWIsBX30yzN

this works? We will test it a bit with the events plugin ourselves.

Hello Radu,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Tried this already – but no success with filtering.

It pulls the event post type (your number 2.) but I can’t filter event category or event tag slug (your number 1.).

Thanks for helping out, it’s really appreciated.

Hi guys,

I don’t want to hussle you but I still need to know if you’re planning short term to fix the filter problem (by tag and category) with the custom post types in Events Manager plugin in your blocks? If not I have to change theme but I really don’t want to, because everything else fits for me, theme is absolutely great and your support is amazing.

Please …

Clemens

Hello,
I’m sorry but this is a little tricky to be implemented, is still on our todo list but not a high priority, if you want faster you can find a freelancer or a developer that will make it for you faster. We recommend to search one here: http://www.microlancer.com

Thanks for understanding.
Have a nice day!
