Custom theme Archive for Advert

Hi,
by default WPAdverts redirects from an archive page to the default [adverts_list], if you want to disable this behavior you can add the code below in your theme functions.php file

add_action( "init", function() {
  remove_action('template_redirect', 'adverts_disable_default_archive');
}, 200 );

Once you add it when a user will access the archives page he should see your archive-advert.php template.

Hi Greg,

Thats do the job to use archive-advert.php but there is one more question to get the archive usable for me.

If an image is setup (for example through your snippet) as featured the image itself is not visible on archive-advert.php.

Something is preventing that core WordPress function (get_the_post_thumbnail())doing its job, even though has_post_thumbnail() is true.

Could you explain me how? I’ve checked this Problem together with Tom Usborne from Generatepress for Generatepress Theme and now we have to ask why this is prevented.

Thanks Greg, for your support.

Best Regards
Patrick

Do you have the thumbnails enabled for “advert” custom post type? By default they are disabled.

You can try getting the post thumbnail with the below code instead

<?php $image_id = adverts_get_main_image_id( get_the_ID() ) ?>
<?php if($image_id): ?>
  <?php $image = get_post( $image_id ) ?>
  <img src="<?php echo esc_attr( adverts_get_main_image( get_the_ID() ) ) ?>" class="advert-item-grow" title="<?php echo esc_attr($image->post_excerpt) ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr($image->post_content) ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>

Hi Greg,

thanks, we getting closer ??

I’ve enabled thumbnails for “advert” post type with the following code, and that works, within the admin, I get now featured images shown.

add_action('init', 'adosui_thumb_support', 100);
function adosui_thumb_support()
{
    add_post_type_support( 'advert', 'thumbnail');
}

Also your snippet with adverts_get_main_image delivers an image.

But what I like to have is the possibility to use the WordPress core function get_the_post__thumbnail() to show the images. I like to build a childtheme and will use how much core functions as possible for my archive page to use the files dynamic and with theme options for archive pages.

Is there a chance to use get_the_post__thumbnail()?

Best regards
Pare

If you have the ‘thumbnail’ support enabled for the “advert” custom post type with your custom code then you should be able to use the get_the_post_thumbnail() function assuming some featured image for an Advert is selected.
