The Toolset Types does not picks up taxonomies not added through it.

  • Hi Beda,
    This is a really very useful plugin. I can create a lot of custom post types with it with special fields. But I am facing one problem: how do I associate my custom post type with the custom taxonomy by bbpress.

    I created a custom post type, say article, and made it as a child to the bbpress post type called topic through the toolset types plugin. My goal is to create a post and link a parent topic (bbpress) with that post.

    But there is only one problem, the taxonomies in toolset types only show the wordpress built-in taxonomies (categories and tags), but not topic-tag ( added by bbpress taxonomy). Due to this the topic-tag though shown associated in the custom types (types plugin) admin, does not show up in editing.

    I tried this in my theme’s functions.php : 

    /*
//  * Adding the taxonomies for the Articles
//  */
// function add_taxonomy_for_articles()
// {
// 	echo("Adding taxonomy");
// 	register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'topic-tag', 'custom-article' );
// }
// add_action('init', 'add_taxonomy_for_articles');

    but it still doesn’t add the taxonomy to the custom post type.

    Please Advice.

    If the Taxonomy is public and is shown in Types > Taxonomies > your_specific_taxonomy, you can edit it there and assign to the Post type you need.

    You can also head to Types > Post Types > your_post_type and check the Taxonomy to be used on this Post Type.

    Then, the meta box will appear in the Post Edit Screen and also the menu for it under the Post Type WP Admin Menu should appear.

    This goes only if the Taxonomy is a standard taxonomy (also a custom one) but not if the taxonomy is somehow private or not public.

    Thank you

    You will perhaps be able to apply a filter, consult this with the 3rd Party developers and supporters.

    The taxonomies are not present when you edit the Post Type as illustrated by me?

    Then it will require custom coding, which will require knowledge of PHP and consultation of the 3rd party API.
