Page style based on Taxonomy

  • I’m installing a Corporate Blog on a site designed by an outside team. They used Taxonomy to build the site so now I’m sort of being forced into using this thing I know very little about.

    I managed to get the back end setup, as well as the blog page and an archives page per Category. After getting through all that complicated stuff… now I’m stuck on getting the “Permalink” page styled to fit the blog style.

    I would go ahead and use single.php, but the whole site is based on WordPress pages and I don’t want to mess up any of the other pages by creating a single.php page. I’m not sure it would screw anything up to be honest… but I don’t want to take that chance really.

    So what I need to do is create a page style based on the new “corenews” taxonomy… is there any way to do this?

    Page: https://www.ourbestassociates.com/corenews/
    Test User: [email protected]
    Test PW: test123

    You’ll have to login to ourbestassociates.com and then browse to the /corenews/ manually. Again, it’s just the blog permalink that’s not styled correctly… everything else seems to be working fine.

    Of course, any tips or tricks on making this process easier are also welcome. Thanks all!

  • Because multiple values for each taxonomy can be applied to each post, there is no built-in way to display single posts that have a specific taxonomy value in a certain way.

    The only way I can think to do so would be to put conditional code at the top of single.php that checks for the taxonomy value, then includes a different template file if it’s found.

    That’s what I was afraid of… ok next question …

    Would the normal display of archive links by month work, or do I have to do something special to display the archives by month for the Taxonomy?

    Ok so I setup a single-corenews.php file to display my custom post in a specific format… but now when I click the permalink for the post, it brings up the latest post that I made. I’m 100% sure this has something to do with the way I have it coded, but due to my little knowledge of php I’m unable to display it the way I want.

    How should I setup my single.php page to properly show the full blog post when the permalink is clicked?
