Custom Taxonomies Support

Hi,

custom taxonomies are supported, but it’s very tricky to implement a pretty UI for this.

So you’ll have to edit manually th shortcode with these parameters:

tax_name='' tax_term=''

If you wan to write a tutorial, you’re welcome ?? !

Thank you for the tip. While the shortcode syntax as you provided may well be valid, unfortunately it does not get parsed at all (neither does the before_title=”<h3>” after_title=”</h3>”) so somewhere in the code this is not being picked up. I have tried with hierarchical custom taxonomy specific to a supported post type and also with global custom taxonomies – it won’t filter, i.e. shows all events. I have also tried actual taxonomy names rather than slugs and no luck. Here are some examples for Custom taxonomy with slug “event-type” and Term slug “talk”:

[events_list tax_name=”event-type” tax_term=”talk”]
It lists all events same as [events_list]

[events_list tax_name=”event-type” tax_term=”talk” cat=”business”]
It lists events with category “Business” but does not include event “Talk” custom taxonomy.

Unless I am doing something wrong here there needs to be some issue with the code and hope you can look into this when you get a chance.

Once all sorted out I’d be happy to help with a quick tutorial. Thanks again.

is your custom-taxonomy associated with a custom_post-type ?

Thank you for your response and sorry for late response – it seems I am not receiving WP support notifications. I have created custom taxonomies in functions.php as follows:

add_action( ‘init’, ‘build_taxonomies’, 0 );
function build_taxonomies() {
register_taxonomy( ‘mycusttax’, array(‘post’,’mycpt’), array( ‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘label’ => ‘My Custom Taxonomy’, ‘query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => true ) );
}
and also attached to a post type using CPT UI plugin.

Are you suggesting that the shortcode works only with certain types of custom taxonomies and if so which global or associated with a cpt?

Hi i tried Nina’s solution but it doesn’t work either for me. It would be very interesting to be able to use custom taxonomies.
