Polylang creates new tags in message

Hi!

Your problem lies in your theme code which displays non public taxonomies. Themes should not display terms in taxonomies which are not public.

Thank you for your reply Chouby!

I will contact the theme developer.

Best wishes,
Monique

Hi Chouby,

I contacted the theme builder and they replied as follows:

“Unfortunately this non public taxonomies have no custom css class, so it won’t be easy for us to hide it. We recommend to use WPML plugin instead, as it is fully compatible with Enfold.”

I do not wish to use WPML plugin, since it is far too complicated for such a small website. I really prefer your user friendly plugin instead.

Can you think of a way to hide your taxonomies from the single post?

Meanwhile the website has been launched and can be found at https://vdts.net/nieuwe-website/.

Thanks & regards,
Monique

Unfortunately this non public taxonomies have no custom css class, so it won’t be easy for us to hide it.

:/

Your theme is not freely available so I don’t have the code but I believe that I know which function your theme is using.
Could you look in your theme files if find the function:

the_taxonomies

Sorry, but can’t find

the_taxonomies

in any of the theme files.

What I could find though (perhaps this is what you need) is the following code in the functions-enfold.php:

if(!function_exists('avia_post_nav'))
{
	function avia_post_nav($same_category = false, $taxonomy = 'category')
	{
		global $wp_version;
	        $settings = array();
	        $settings['same_category'] = $same_category;
	        $settings['excluded_terms'] = '';
			$settings['wpversion'] = $wp_version;

		//dont display if a fullscreen slider is available since they overlap
		if((class_exists('avia_sc_layerslider') && !empty(avia_sc_layerslider::$slide_count)) ||
			class_exists('avia_sc_slider_full') && !empty(avia_sc_slider_full::$slide_count) ) $settings['is_fullwidth'] = true;

		$settings['type'] = get_post_type();
		$settings['taxonomy'] = ($settings['type'] == 'portfolio') ? 'portfolio_entries' : $taxonomy;

		if(!is_singular() || is_post_type_hierarchical($settings['type'])) $settings['is_hierarchical'] = true;
		if($settings['type'] === 'topic' || $settings['type'] === 'reply') $settings['is_bbpress'] = true;

	        $settings = apply_filters('avia_post_nav_settings', $settings);
	        if(!empty($settings['is_bbpress']) || !empty($settings['is_hierarchical']) || !empty($settings['is_fullwidth'])) return;

	        if(version_compare($settings['wpversion'], '3.8', '>=' ))
	        {
	            $entries['prev'] = get_previous_post($settings['same_category'], $settings['excluded_terms'], $settings['taxonomy']);
	            $entries['next'] = get_next_post($settings['same_category'], $settings['excluded_terms'], $settings['taxonomy']);
	        }
	        else
	        {
	            $entries['prev'] = get_previous_post($settings['same_category']);
	            $entries['next'] = get_next_post($settings['same_category']);
	        }

		$entries = apply_filters('avia_post_nav_entries', $entries, $settings);
        $output = "";

		foreach ($entries as $key => $entry)
		{
            if(empty($entry)) continue;
			$the_title 	= isset($entry->av_custom_title) ? $entry->av_custom_title : avia_backend_truncate(get_the_title($entry->ID),75," ");
			$link 		= isset($entry->av_custom_link)  ? $entry->av_custom_link  : get_permalink($entry->ID);
			$image 		= isset($entry->av_custom_image) ? $entry->av_custom_image : get_the_post_thumbnail($entry->ID, 'thumbnail');

            $tc1   = $tc2 = "";
            $class = $image ? "with-image" : "without-image";

            $output .= "<a class='avia-post-nav avia-post-{$key} {$class}' href='{$link}' >";
		    $output .= "    <span class='label iconfont' ".av_icon_string($key)."></span>";
		    $output .= "    <span class='entry-info-wrap'>";
		    $output .= "        <span class='entry-info'>";
		    $tc1     = "            <span class='entry-title'>{$the_title}</span>";
if($image)  $tc2     = "            <span class='entry-image'>{$image}</span>";
            $output .= $key == 'prev' ?  $tc1.$tc2 : $tc2.$tc1;
            $output .= "        </span>";
            $output .= "    </span>";
		    $output .= "</a>";
		}
		return $output;
	}
}

I hope you can help!

Thanks & regards,

This is not the function displaying the taxonomies. It displays the navigation links (the arrows on both sides of the screen).
Could you look for “blog-categories”?

I wonder. Dou you want to keep the category?

I have already discussed this with my client. They prefere to keep it. And even if I can still pursuade them to accept not to show categories, I will have the same problem again with another (bigger) business website I am working on right now as well. So, I am trying also to find out if this issue can be solved at all. Trust you understand.

Apart from the css, I can find “blog-categories” in three files of the theme:

• enfold\includes\loop-author.php
• enfold\includes\loop-index.php
• enfold\includes\loop-search.php

In loop-index.php I can find following code with taxonomies:

$taxonomies  = get_object_taxonomies(get_post_type($the_id));
                    $cats = '';
                    $excluded_taxonomies =  apply_filters('avf_exclude_taxonomies', array('post_tag','post_format'), get_post_type($the_id), $the_id);

                    if(!empty($taxonomies))
                    {
                        foreach($taxonomies as $taxonomy)
                        {
                            if(!in_array($taxonomy, $excluded_taxonomies))
                            {
                                $cats .= get_the_term_list($the_id, $taxonomy, '', ', ','').' ';
                            }
                        }
                    }

Is that what you need?

Thanks to the filter, you won’t need to hack the theme. Add this in a custom plugin:

add_filter( 'avf_exclude_taxonomies', 'my_avf_exclude_taxonomies' );
function avf_exclude_taxonomies( $taxonomies ) {
	return array_merge( $taxonomies, get_taxonomies( array( 'public' => false ) ) );
}

And for the theme author to fix definitely the issue, replace:

$excluded_taxonomies =  apply_filters('avf_exclude_taxonomies', array('post_tag','post_format'), get_post_type($the_id), $the_id);

by:

$excluded_taxonomies = array_merge( get_taxonomies( array( 'public' => false ) ), array('post_tag','post_format') );
$excluded_taxonomies = apply_filters('avf_exclude_taxonomies', $excluded_taxonomies, get_post_type($the_id), $the_id);

Sorry, I am not a php developer ?? What do you mean by ‘a custom plugin’?

I suppose I need to add that code in the (child) theme’s functions.php file?

It’s easier to make a custom plugin than a child theme! Copy this in a file myplugin.php.

<?php
/*
Plugin name: My first plugin
*/

add_filter( 'avf_exclude_taxonomies', 'my_avf_exclude_taxonomies' );
function avf_exclude_taxonomies( $taxonomies ) {
	return array_merge( $taxonomies, get_taxonomies( array( 'public' => false ) ) );
}

Put the file in wp-content/plugins and activate the plugin. That’s all.

You can use the functions.php of your child theme . It will work the same.

Wow! My first own plugin ??

Hmmmm, that doesn’t work ?? I tried both options (plugin and added to child theme functions.php), unfortunately without success.

Any more suggestions?

I am stupid :/

The function has not the right name. It must be:

add_filter( 'avf_exclude_taxonomies', 'my_avf_exclude_taxonomies' );
function my_avf_exclude_taxonomies( $taxonomies ) {
	return array_merge( $taxonomies, get_taxonomies( array( 'public' => false ) ) );

}

Yes, great! That looks wonderful ??

Thanks so much for you help in getting this to work!

Does this mean that also the instructions for the theme author to fix definitely the issue have changed?

No. They are correct.

Ok Thanks!

Thanks again & have a nice day.
