Plugin does not recognize ALL registered taxonomies

Hi Sumit,

I have two screenshots to help explain the issue.

wp_term_taxonomy.jpg is a look at the WP table showing the standard WP install with its standard taxonomies of ‘category’ and ‘post_tag’ (in yellow). Further down the table we see the HivePress plugin has registered its custom taxonomy of ‘hp_listing_category’ (in yellow) and ‘hp_listing_pets’ and ‘hp_listing_locality’ (circled in red).

The three taxonomies in yellow are picked up by the WPES plugin but the two in red are not. WPESsettings.jpg shows the WPES plugin setting screen with the corresponding yellow taxonomies displayed and the red ones not.

This is my concern.

The only difference between the custom taxonomies is the way in which they are built. Those in yellow are physically typed into a field for the name and slug of said custom taxonomy. Those in red are NOT typed into the name or slug fields BUT are SELECTED from a drop down list of available options.

So the issue is either the way that HivePress is registering those custom taxonomies OR its the way that the WPES plugin is collecting the data for its ‘taxonomies’ => array().

HivePress has declared the issue lies with your plugin – https://hivepress.io/support/topic/allow-attributes-and-their-options-to-be-searched-through-text-search/

HivePress is a free plugin. The HiveListing theme is also a free plugin

If I can help in any other way, please let me know.

Hi Sumit,

A follow up comment from the HivePress developer is

I figured there may be an issue because all selectable attributes have the same taxonomy label of “Option”, but those are not displayed either. This may be resolved if WPES displays taxonomy names instead of labels (in the same way as meta keys are displayed now).

You can read the original conversation over at HivePress here.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Hi,

This is not true. I am already using taxonomy name instead of labels. You can see here https://github.com/5um17/wp-extended-search/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wpes-admin.php#L404

Not all taxonomies are displayed, only those have show_ui and public attribute set to true are displayed in settings.
If you can help me to see the output of line 404 then I can understand the issue.
To do so please add this code just after line 404


echo '<pre>';
print_r($all_taxonomies);
echo '</pre>';

Then go to the setting and copy and paste the output here.

Thanks

Hi,

So as you can see there are only three taxonomies. And I am using standard WP function get_taxonomies() with this argument


array(
				'show_ui' => true,
				'public'  => true,
			)

Please let the author know and ask them to check the issue why standard WP function returning only three taxonomies.

Thanks

Okay I can see the author response. Some of the taxonomies are not public.
You can use our filter to modify the arguments for taxonomies https://wpes.secretsofgeeks.com/hooks#wpes_tax_args

Something like this


/**
 * Display only custom taxonomies
 */
function wpes_tax_args($args) {
	unset($args['public']);
	return $args;
}
add_filter('wpes_tax_args', 'wpes_tax_args');

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thank you Sumit,

That code snippet did the trick – the search now works as expected!

I did not realize that you had all those actions and filters to extend or modify the plugin functionality, they’re fantastic yet so simple!. They really take the plugin to the next level – thanks again.

You can mark this ticket resolved.
