Links don't go to the post pages

same problem here. The links go to a tag page, which then has links to the posts/pages. I would like the links to go directly to the posts instead of to the tag page.

For me that would mean instead of the link for locky going to the https://thomaszuckerscharff.com/tag/locky/, it should go to https://thomaszuckerscharff.com/2016/04/28/locky-3011/. Every tag has only one page it goes to, so each time the user needs to click the initial link then the link on the tag page.

I created a custom post type of ransomware and tried

show_ransomware=”yes” show_posts=”no” show_pages=”no”

and

show_ransomware=”yes” show_pages=”no”

Both show the same thing and in neither case does it go directly to the page, but rather the tag page.

I wonder if there is some jquery oe Javascript we could use to alter part of the urls?

Could be. I a not adept enough at coding to know. I will ask my son (my WP guru).

I was fooling around and think I found a way. use the taxonomy=”dinosaur” tag in the shortcode. Mine is not currently working, but it links to https://thomaszuckerscharff.com/ransomware/aga/ if I use taxonomy=”ransomware” and the list points to aga. The problem is there is no page (I get a page not found error). One thing at a time …

@mhairilongmuir,

If you figure this out let me know. I got to the taxonomy point and now with the following code even the one custom post, of type ransomware and taxonomy ransomware (page labeled maktub), doesn’t show up. The ones that do point to a page like I linked to above, that doesn’t exist. So how to you get a achelousaurus page to exist in say “…/dinosaur/achelousaurus/” (I assume it would have to be something like default.htm)?

[mctagmap columns=”5″ hide=”yes” num_show=”5″ more=”more ?” toggle=”? less” show_empty=”yes” name_divider=”|” descriptions=”yes” width=”150″ equal=”yes” manual=”” basic =”no” basic_heading=”yes” show_navigation=”yes” taxonomy=”ransomware”]

Aw brilliant, thanks, I’ll try that ??

also try changing the permalinks category or tag base. Not usre if this helps – it didn’t help me but it did something and was suggested my another wp guru on a forum I frequent.

from_category is also helpful

@mhairilongmuir,

Did you get it to work? I still can’t get my CPT to work with this plugin. Now it doesn’t even click through.

something is weird here. I just tried this plugin on my wife’s blog and it works fine. Time to start looking for plugin conflicts.

I’ve disabled all plugins except backupbuddy, isync from ithemes (for backupbuddy), mc tag map (on wifes site), wp hide post (on wifes site). I even deleted one paid plugin that was showing an injection error. I still can’t get it to display the same way it does on her site. Time to try the theme she uses…

any joy?

I won’t be able to work on this until mon now

got it working. I believe it was the Floating Social Media Icons plugin by Acurax that was interfering.

I deactivated all plugins
deleted the acurax plugin (and several others I no longer used)
reactivated plugins one at a time
changed shortcode of mctag plugin to use show_posts=”yes” (thanks for the heads up on this one) post_type=”ransomware”
used ptypeconverter to convert relevant posts to custom post type ransomware (created using CPT plugin)

Everything is now working!!
