Use taxonomies in posts

Hello @mrc2407

Sorry for the delayed response. Right now this is not something the plugin supports as the custom taxonomies are registered against the review post type.

However, this something I can look into adding as a feature.

Hi @w33zy!

Thanks for the reply. I think that would be interesting, yes! A
I can work without that, but it would help me link stuff consistently on my blog, thanks!

So to be clear, you want option where “Author”, “Publisher” and other custom taxonomies can be enabled/used with regular WordPress posts. Am I correct?

Exactly, yes!

My use case is as follows: I want to build a literature blog. This will have book reviews (your plugin is perfect for that) but I would also like to write posts that talk about a single author, a literary movement/school (thus N authors), a specific year range (N authors)…

In those “essay” posts, I can manually add a section saying “Related authors:” and listing them there, but it would be awesome if I could just use taxonomies and link everything automatically (I can modify the template to show the list).

Extra points if I can have a way to list posts from the author page (that is, list posts that are related to that author). Since I’m talking about literature from other countries, I manually added a Translator taxonomy, so if I could link any taxonomy to posts it would be awesome.

I know I’m asking a lot (I’m a web developer too, just never used PHP nor WordPress), and basically I can replicate everything I’m saying manually, so it’s more of a nice-to-have thing, but I think it’d be interesting to have ??

Thanks for your work on the plugin! Working perfectly so far!

This a feature added as it needed some simple modifications to my code so it will in the v1.50.0 update which I’ll push tomorrow or Monday. The will be new option labeled as “Use with posts” under the settings “Taxonomy” tab.

As for the “list posts from the author page” request, WordPress should handle that via your theme’s archive.php template.
