How to display taxonomies in content

  • I am working on a WordPress recipe site for my Mother. I am beginner. I created custom code for posts and taxonomies on my child theme single.php file and made quite a few changes to the functions.php. I have styled my recipes. I would like to display an excerpt page of all my recipes and categorize them but I do not know where to start or what questions to ask for my particular site. So my question is, what next? Thank you.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I think the excerpts are supposed to show up on the archives page but I am not sure how to get there.

    Making any kind of archive request should get you there. Something like example.com/category/beef/. What an archive list displays is theme dependent. Since you have a child theme, you could explicitly call the_excerpt() on the applicable templates.

    Auto excerpts display the first 55 (can be altered by filter) words of a post. If your recipe posts begin with an ingredient list, they will not make a very good excerpt. If all your recipes have an initial description that’s at least 55 words, auto excerpts can work.

    Posts can have an explicit excerpt field which is independent of post content. In the case of recipes that begin with an ingredients list, you could use this field to compose a more meaningful excerpt.
