Custom post type and Category

  • Hello,

    How can I view my custom post types in the normal categoryies? I added the category to the custom post type as taxonomy. When I read the (custom post type) post it highlights the specific category. But when I click on the specific category in the list, the (custom post type) post doesn’t show up!!

    How is that possible. Don’t they interact?

    Regards,
    Martin

    Put this in your theme’s functions.php:

    add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
if($query->is_archive){
  if(is_category() || is_tag()) {
    if (empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'])) {
      $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');

	    if($post_type) {
	      return $query;
	    } else {
	      $post_type = array('post','my_post_type');
        $query->set('post_type',$post_type);
	      return $query;
      }
    }
  }
 }
return $query;
}

    And put your post type in the $post_type array:
    post_type = array('post','my_post_type');

    tnx for your input! That works like a charm.

    I’m also using a plugin ‘Folding Category list’ (FoCaL). You can choose NOT to show the empty categories in the list. All the categories with custom post types then also disappear.

    Probably a bug in the plugin. Damn. Probably have to make a accordion list myself then. Or does anybody know a sollution?
