How to display custom post type categories?

    Hi,
    Thanks for a great plugin – had to install/uninstall about 30 other plug ins before came across this one.

    It has many great features, but I am having an issue with custom posts and filtering.

    I have read all questions in the forum about it and did create as recommended:
    taxonomy=education_category&tag_ID=65&post_type=prospect

    However the slider would not filter by category.
    My code is:
    [wp_posts_carousel template="default.css" post_type="prospect" all_items="10" show_only="id" posts="" ordering="asc" categories="65" tags="" show_title="true" show_created_date="false" show_description="excerpt" allow_shortcodes="false" show_category="true" show_tags="false" show_more_button="true" show_featured_image="false" image_source="thumbnail" image_height="100" image_width="100" items_to_show_mobiles="1" items_to_show_tablets="2" items_to_show="4" slide_by="1" margin="5" loop="true" stop_on_hover="false" auto_play="false" auto_play_timeout="1200" auto_play_speed="800" nav="true" nav_speed="800" dots="true" dots_speed="800" lazy_load="false" mouse_drag="false" mouse_wheel="false" touch_drag="true" easing="linear" auto_height="false"]

    What am I missing?

    could you send me access to your admin panel, I would like to check how it is recognized by WordPress – [email protected]

    It should work now.

    @teastudiopl I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums or log into user’s sites that way.

    Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they won’t touch anything that they shouldn’t. People who give the keys out are not usually in a position to know what exactly was touched and what wasn’t. When something goes wrong with their house in future, the home owners may not be able to differentiate a problem with the work that was carried out with an irrelevant problem.

    When something goes wrong with someone’s website, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages. This would not normally happen as their software is provided without warranty.

    So please, don’t do that here.

    ok, I understand, but I do not see other possibility of verification this kind of problems.
    although another possibility is FTP access only to the directory with plugin.
    Am I right?

    Can you ask people to deactivate their plugins?

    @andrew – let website owners decide what access are they happy to provide, but I do understand your concern.

    @kazl, If it is the case that website owners are asking for private support then they should not be posting on these forums to begin with.

    I am creating a charity website and I am not a professional web developer. I have been working 16h/day on this project and at this point I need help with one item.
    Sorry for being just a human.
    Plus I have read teastudio.pl forums already and they do a great job at helping out folks like me.
    Hope he will be able to guide me the right way too.

    @kazl, could you change the hosting provider?
    This one is terrible – slow and without many php functions… etc.

    Secondly, I don’t see any posts with custom taxonomies? Could you display a few + category name?

    @teastudio.pl – don’t worry, I am using that hosting provider just to demonstrate the issue I am having on the real site. But thank you for your concern! ??

    I am using CPT UI plugin to add custom post type (named ‘prospect’) and using same plugin to add custom taxonomy (named ‘education_category).

    WP Posts Carousel is picking up this custom post type and is displaying all posts in it. However when I try to add category filter – slider displays nothing.
    Hence I wonder that maybe I need to declare this custom post type and its categories in plugins functions or some other modification is needed in order to enable filtering by category?

    Also quick note – I am using WP Posts Carousel only for the custom posts type and custom taxonomy. So maybe some default setting should be changed for the slider to accept only custom post type value?
    I did try to make changes in wp-posts-carousel/carousel-generator.class.php file. Tried changing ‘category’ variable with my custom post type one, but that just gave me fatal error and had to reinstall the plugin…

    I can’t login into wp-admin because WordPress can’t send mail to me.
    Could you regenerate password for me?
