• Hi,

    First I would like to apologies if I made a thread in wrong forum. I got problem based my custom post type and plugin. I have setup my custom post type called Audio and in this custom post type got Audio, Add New Audio and Audio Genres.

    Audio[Custom Post Type]
    – Audio
    – Add New Audio
    – Audio Genres

    The problem is, I’m using an autopost plugin and the plugin just appear my WordPress Categories not my Audio Genres. I’ve looked up my database on wp_terms, there is 2 categories called Acoustics. And the ID was 7 and 64. 7 come from WordPress Categories and 64 come from Audio Genres that I set in my Custom Post Type. So, how can I let the plugin show up my Audio Genres categories.

    This is the source code from the plugin.

    // categories
    $source_data->categories = array();
    $cats_array = $this->WPDB->get_results(sprintf("SELECT <code>category</code> FROM <code>%s</code> WHERE <code>source</code> = %d", $this->tables['categories'], $source_id));
    	if (is_array($cats_array)) {
    		while ($cat = array_shift($cats_array))
    			$source_data->categories[] = $cat->category;
    	}

    And this is the custom post type source code for your reference.

    <?php
    
    // REGISTER AUDIO POST TYPE
    
    add_action('init', 'posttype_audio');
    
    function posttype_audio() {
    
            $labels = array(
                    'name' => __('Audio', 'audio_mtlabs'),

  • Hi!
    I need help with my category page blog post. Blog page site https://www.deepgreenarts.com/north-carolina. I have 4 categories; attractions, waterfalls, exhibits, and souvenir. I don’t understand why all of my post are showing in all of my pages? I already set my settings of all my post assigned to each category but it doesn’t seem working. Please help…

    @inswins: Categories are a particular type of taxonomy. You are creating a different taxonomy called audio genre, which is why the plugin is not showing it. You should add audio genre to the category taxonomy.

    @greendp_4: Next time, please start your own new topic instead of latching on to someone else’s ?? The permalink parser will not recognize categories unless they are preceded by the pseudo folder “/category/” in the link. Note how the category links in your side bar are constructed. You need to construct the menu links the same way. If you find the presence of a category pseudo folder in your menu links distasteful, you can use .htaccess tricks to recognize your few categories and insert the pseudo folder behind the scenes before WordPress gets a hold of it.

    Thank you so much for your help. I got my website fix. Take a look https://www.deepgreenarts.com

    @bcworkz: Do you mean I have to register my audio genre in normal WordPress Categories? Based on the code as below:

    register_taxonomy( 'audio_genre', array( 'audio' ), array(
    				'hierarchical' => true,
    				'labels' => $labels, /* NOTICE: Here is where the $labels variable is used */
    				'show_ui' => true,
    				'query_var' => true,
    				'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'audio_genre' ),
    		));

    register_taxonomy is a custom taxonomy right? How can I register to the category taxonomy?

    Yes, sounds like you get the picture now.

    To add to the category taxonomy, use wp_insert_category(). If categories are not showing up for your custom post type, I believe you use register_taxonomy_for_object_type().

    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category','audio');
