BTF disappeared from the page

Just to follow up, I’ve disabled and reactivated the plugin and even tried the widget on the pages and that shows up, but BTF doesn’t show using the template code

<?php do_action('show_beautiful_filters'); ?>

Is there are trick to get it back?

And a bit more… using this:

<?php do_action('show_beautiful_filters'); ?>
<?php do_action('show_beautiful_filters_info'); ?>

I can see the filter results showing with the info tag, but there are still no results… Have I set a setting incorrectly perhaps…?

Hi, I figured it out.

The hint is in the word ‘Taxonomy’ in the title… if you remove the taxonomy from the CPT plugin file – whoosh! the filter will disappear as there is no longer a definition of taxonomies for the CPT.

I was wanting to make life easier for the client, by removing the taxonomy, but this did not help at all. LOL.

Cheers,

Hi, I am having the same problem. In your solution what do you mean CPT plugin? Is that Custom Post Type plugin? What if I don’t use any custom post type plugin? Can I still use BTF?

Hi,
I meant that I’d created a custom post type – CPT and had a taxonomy when I created the records for the CPT. But later I decided that it might be confusing for the client to have both the categories and taxonomy terms for the CPT. SO I removed the taxonomy definitions and poof! away went BTF – there were no longer any taxonomy terms for BTF to process.

I reinstated the taxonomy definitions and the BTF reappeared on the page. Thankfully the taxonomies for the CPT had not disappeared from the dB so they quickly returned.

CPT’s are installed as a plugin and appear in the plugins in admin. Have you removed any taxonomies?

If you’ve not used a CPT, your issue will like elsewhere. Good luck!

Thank you for your complete answer. I don’t have a custom post type at the moment.

Hi,
Sorry for such a long wait for a response.

Yes you would have issues with BTF showing if there’s no taxonomy to show ??
It’s “smart” in that way.. it wont appear unless it actually has something to work with so you’d never end up with just an empty box.

Also myowin.. BTF requires you to use CPTS and Taxonomies. It’s not yet compatible with WordPress builtin contents due to it being handles differently in permalinks.

Cheers! ??
