duplicate and filter category widget

  • Hi, I have to pages in one menu where im planning to post. the names are import and export. each page will contain posts for different procduts that are being imported or exported. My posts are categorized by product and each product is categorized by import or export.

    I have the problem that the category widget is used and show the same values on each page in the sidebar. I would like to see that if i’m in export page I should only see the export product posts and not the entire list of cagtegories including imports.

    does anybody know how to do this? maybe a duplicate widget with filtering the values? i have tried my custom widget but dont know how to program in php or html.

    my page is agrodataperu.com. you can go to the import and export page and look at category widget..you will se what i’m talking about.

  • Hi,

    Duplicating the widget may help only to distinguish the visual way of widget function, not really to do multiple filtering with it..

    1. You can achieve this with tags, just tag posts with “import or export” word. But if you use tags already for something, then you need to create Custom Taxonomy, and then tag all posts with “import or export” in that custom taxonomy.

    2. Since you want to filter 2 taxonomies at the same time I suggest that you use widget capable of such filtering:
    There are several widgets available but my suggestion would be:

    p.s. It’s also possible to do this with custom fields, but form my experience filtering with custom fields was not a success…

    Cheers,
    Mike
