    Hi Jonathan,
    I was looking for a filter plugin and I like yours. I just installed it but the “how to” section is very short, I saw a review in wptavern and it says that “The plugin is capable of including as many filters (I think it may refer to the dropdowns the review shows) as you want…” but I cannot imagine how I can do that, I don’t see any settings menu to do it (in the widget too), also is it possible to change the name of the label for each dropdown?

    I like the way the plugin looks like in the images wptavern shows, I also tried to see it in action in that blog but I wasn’t able to find it.

    I hope you can help me, I’m not a coding man, just a wp fan. Thank you for your time, sorry about my english.

    Hi wes002,

    All you have to do for a custom post types taxonomies to show up is to activate the plugin towards that CPT. Then if your taxonomies are publicly registered they will show up in the filter. Please note that the filters will only show the taxonomies for the current post type (in an archive-template) OR the specified post type selected in the widget or set in the action.

    By “as many filters” they do indeed mean it will display as many dropdowns as there are public taxonomies connected to the cpt.

    The labels for each dropdown is based on the labels you’ve set in registering your cpt. So you can either modify that or you can use this provided filter:

    function modify_labels($label){

    return $label;
}

add_filter('beautiful_filters_taxonomy_label', 'modify_labels', 10, 1);

    So let’s say you want to add some text before each label you can do:

    function modify_labels($label){

    return 'Filter: ' . $label;
}

add_filter('beautiful_filters_taxonomy_label', 'modify_labels', 10, 1);

    Add that to your themes functions.php file.

    Best of luck!

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thanks for your help, I’ll manage to get the filter to show, I’m using envision theme, very beautiful but complex for me, it doesn’t present a default page for post and custom posts (like portfolio).

    I guess I cannot use your plugin.

    But, thanks again.

    Hi,

    No problem.
    So you mean there’s no archive for your portfolio CPT. If so then yeah, you wont be able to use it I’m afraid.. That’s always a downside of buying themes, they can be very hard and complex to modify in any way other than what the theme authors have enabled out of the box ??

    I wish you luck!
