Custom taxonomy?

    I’m working on a wordpress site for a podcast network, and this plugin seems great for this. However, I’m wondering about the structure. I was thinking of making a custom post type ‘episode’, and a custom taxonomy for shows, so that I can have full control of how shows look and how they work in the admin. The plugin supports custom post types, but as far as I can tell, the only supported taxonomy is categories, correct? I guess I could tweak and customize the categories to behave like shows, but this would be a hassle, and not ideal in the admin… What’s the best way to set this up?

    Hey @lensco,

    Thanks for using our plugin and for reaching out!

    Yeah the only supported taxonomy is the default one at the moment.
    There is one exception, though, as if you’re using the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin you’ll be able to use their podcast post type and the ‘Series’ taxonomy.

    Also, if you’re using one of our themes (like Bolden or Tusant which are optimized for Podcast Networks) you could use the built-in features of the theme during the import.

    Ok, I’ll just hack my way around the categories then to treat them like shows. Thanks for the reply.

    By the way, I modified class-secondline-podcast-import.php (I know, not that smart) in just a few places to hardcode in my custom taxonomy, and it seems to work just fine. I know it’s always more work than that, but it shouldn’t be that much to implement this feature, no? ??

    Hey @lensco,

    You can change the PHP file, but just make sure not to update the plugin as it would override everything you did.

    We’ll look into it again and see if it’d be possible to implement support for custom taxonomies without displaying a list of dozens of irrelevant ones.

    Yup, I added a copy of the file in my git repo, so I can easily reapply my changes in case they’re overwritten.
