Custom Classes & Showing Taxonomies

Ah, yes! Thank you! I’ll give that a go. ??

Hmmm… this is what I’m using – what you posted above, modified as suggested.

[the_future_posts post_status=”future” post_type=”books” taxonomy=”series” taxonomy_terms=”series” posts_per_column=”1″ fields=”div=start;class=’release_list’|title=text;link|categories=text;link|date=text;nolink;F Y|div=end”]

Sorry, this is what I’ve got:
[the_future_posts post_status="future" post_type="books" taxonomy="series" posts_per_column="1" fields="div=start;class='release_list'|title=text;link|categories=text;link|date=text;nolink;F Y|div=end"]

But it’s not displaying anything. It leaves a space for it, but it’s not actually showing any content. It’s dropping in your divs and classes, but not the actual term.

Ideas? ??

hey!

it’s not taxonomy=”series”. it’s taxonomy_terms=”series”.

don’t include taxonomy (it’s an internal name of CPT for the books custom post type). you don’t need that, furthermore you need to know the right name. taxonomy_terms is for the category name. it’s a bit confusing, i know.

can you give me access to whatever you are doing in order to help you? it would also help me find out of any code bug. different enviroments produce different problems.

* Fixed pretty permalinks on custom post types.

There is more than one taxonomy for ‘books’ CPT. I want specifically the ‘series’ taxonomy, not the other taxonomies I have. I want the terms from ‘series’. So I be using taxonomy_terms, paired with taxonomy=’series’, no? But you have me showing categories in the actual display, so maybe that’s the confusion? I don’t know. ??

you didn’t understood what i said earlier. don’t use the taxonomy= use ONLY the taxonomy_terms=”series”.

dispite of its name the taxonomy= is not to be used for categories or tags.

I understand. I did that. It’s still not working. ??

[the_future_posts post_status="future" post_type="books" taxonomy_terms="series" posts_per_column="1" fields="div=start;class='release_list'|title=text;link|categories=text;link|date=text;nolink;F Y|div=end"]

Am I not structuring that correctly?

it looks fine, i guess. does it show the sentence:

“Nothing planned yet.” ?

it should, when there’s nothing to show. otherwise there is an error.

start with just this:

[the_future_posts post_status=”future,publish” post_type=”books”]

if it shows something, remove the publish continue adding settings one by one. otherwise the post_type is not books. it’s another name.

No, there are posts showing up. It does show the title and the date of the post but it does not show the category of the post.

Sorry, I’m on my phone, so it sent before I was ready. ??

There are classes and divs for the category/tax but not the actual terms.

may i see it? it’s hard to think what’s going on.

did you add the categories back again?

I don’t know what you mean by ‘back again’. ??

The CPT is definitely ‘books’.
There are two taxonomies: ‘series’ and ‘universe’. The only one I care about is ‘series’ right now. There are many, many series in the ‘series’ taxonomy. Lots of different series. And the future posts, the future ‘books’ all have a series assigned to them.

You can go here: glynn stewart dot com and see on the left side under “Release Schedule” there are 3 books “Agent”, “Darkness” and “UnArcana”. You can see the title and link of the book. You can see a gap-type space and then the future date of the book.

In the gap, there is HTML that is in the source, so it’s rendering the html for the categories, but it’s just not showing the series that the book belongs to in that gap between the title and the date.

To confirm, the same issue is happening below, that where it says “Upcoming Releases” and shows 3 book covers. Again, no category/tax terms displayed.

right… just saw it. it writes the DIV for the categories list, which is fine, but it doesn’t write anything inside…

does wordpress handles CPT categories differently than regular posts categories? something to find out tonight.

can i see a screen capture of the book categories list on the wordpress dashboard?

like this one, but the ones you have for the books;

no need the screen capture, after all. i think i have found the problem.

wordpress has two ways of getting the categories from a post. one just works on regular posts, the other one works with regular and CPT posts. kinda stupid…

please update to v1.33 and let me know if the problem is solved.

best,
JdA

Alas, no. I just updated and checked. It’s still empty. Here are some screenshots. The list is really long and has long category descriptions so it’s hard to get. This is just a handful.
