Display only ONE taxonomy with Elementor?

Sorry to pop in.
I’m very interesting in that topic because I have the same issue.

My client have several construction services. I have created an excellent POD to display these services and I want to display each time a portfolio of his works related to this service. So the same issue as Ernexto: how could I just pick one taxonomy each time related to each service page?

Thanks!

If you’re not able to select the Taxonomy in Elementor Pro in their Theme Builder, you need to reach out to Elementor Pro support. We don’t provide support for their product layout engine, they do.

You do have to have the Taxonomy Associated to the Post Type (not just ‘linked’). Elementor Pro doesn’t support our relationship fields and they won’t be able to show Taxonomy unless you associate it with the Post Types under Advanced Options, Associated Post Types.

Typically, you would be adding a Taxonomy Filter (which would output a grid of vehicles and allow you to filter based on terms selected in each Taxonomy). That would also be a function of their builder, not pods. FacetWP also does that, but I do not know if they are supported under Elementor Pro.

Thank you so much Jim.
I hope this is helpful to Ernexto.
I’m not working with Elementor but with beaver builder.
Does your answer apply aswell?

It’s a POD for “services” and on each “service page” created with this POD i’d like to display a different portfolio (based on taxonomy)

Thanks!

Yep, Themer Layouts in Beaver Themer. Beaver Builder doesn’t support ‘theme hierarchy’ so if you’re trying to build theme layouts you need Beaver Themer.

Taxonomy works out of the box with WordPress; you don’t have to do anything special to get a Taxonomy ‘term’ for each service to show all posts associated with that term. If you want to customize that page, yes, you do have to create a separate taxonomy archive PHP template (or build a Themer Layout with Beaver Themer or Elementor Pro), but the basic architecture and handling of taxonomy archives is built into WordPress.

I’m using Beaver Themer, combined to POD it’s brilliant but I can’t figure that taxonomy thing out.
I will dig a little bit harder.
Thanks!

@guillaume69 if you’re using Beaver Themer, you have paid support through Beaver Builder/Beaver Themer. Reach out to them for help on configuring that.

Great idea. Thanks Jim.

Hi Jim,

The Beaver team suggested to custom the Archive page itself.
By nature, the WordPress archive pages display only one category at a time.
So if I want to display jobs from one particular service (E.g. jobs related to Floors) on a specific page, it should be an archive page.

Can I add custom fields with PODS on archive pages?
I’d like to add some specific contents on each archive.
But since the archives doesn’t work as pages or articles (no editor) I’m not sure this could work.
Could it?
Thanks Jim.

That is correct, you would customize the Beaver Themer Taxonomy Archive Layout in your Theme Layouts. That would display whenever you select ‘one’ taxonomy term (‘floors’) in your (‘services’) custom Taxonomy. That’s how WordPress works out of the box. Theme Layouts with Beaver Themer just helps you customize that layout.

Yes, you can add custom fields to your taxonomy and then add that ‘term meta’ to your Theme Layout. You really need to be taking these questions to Beaver Themer paid support. This is all theme customization. You don’t use a WordPress Pages or Articles to do this, you do this entirely within the Theme Layouts to create a design for all your Taxonomy archives.

Here’s an example, but you would actually select ‘Services Taxonomy Archive’ as your theme layout type. You use the field connector to connect custom fields added to your Theme layout for that taxonomy.

If you have any additional questions, please bring them to our Slack Chat at https://support.pods.io/chat/ and I’ll try to point you in the right direction. We’ve gotten to 8 replies now and that lets me know that the forum isn’t working for you; chat would be better if you’re still having questions.

Thanks very much for all the help Jim. It’s a relief to know I can work this out.
I won’t be bothering you all on Slack. I’ll work this with Themer team now ??
Thanks again.

Hello boys and girls. For those who are atoll looking to do something similar, the solution lies on relationship fields. Once you’ve tied Up all éléments with relationship you can display them on connection to each other. Look on YouTube for a video with Jim explaining this. You’ll use a box of aspirin because it’s just Mindblowing but you’ll je happy you did.

@guillaume69 You don’t use relationships for Taxonomy. Taxonomy is a WP function and if Elementor doesn’t support Taxonomy filtering in their layouts, that’s something you have to reach out to Elementor about.

Relationships, yes, are a Pods function and not supported by native WordPress and we do have excellent videos providing examples of linking back and forth between relationships and outputting related content.
