Hi bcworkz

Thank you so much for your response and suggestion.

Unfortunately I don’t know how to change the field type at the client with jQuery, it’s beyond my understanding.

I’ve conceded defeat on this one and used the “Types” plugin to implement custom fields, which seems to work so far!

Ok, all sorted now, I just had to set the canonical URL to the page URL as Facebook was using the permalink by default.

For anyone reading this and experiencing problems with Facebook sharing buttons, the following link is invaluable to see what information Facebook is using when it scrapes your page:

Thanks very much for that Synved, I’ll see if I can sort it. Cheers!

Hi Synved

Thank you for the response, and the plugin!

My page is working now if you have time to take a look. Sorry about that, I just needed to reboot for some reason.

I’ll look into the plugins. Any likely suspects or are we talking needle in a haystack?!

Andy

Perfect! I’ve updated and the naming seems to be working fine, thank you so much for that. I’ll post a comment soon.

Andy

Thanks for that Stian. I have version 0.0.3, but I’m not being prompted to download a new version for some reason. Also it is still version 0.0.3 in the WordPress plugins…

Thanks again, I’ll click works and add a comment when I’ve updated to 0.0.4, seeing as that’s the newest version.

Andy

Great, thank you for the quick response!

Hi Dan, thanks for your response.

Just to be clear, in my page template I can therefore put something like:

echo do_shortcode( ‘[dg custom_taxon=”customcategory”]’ );

to only show documents assigned to “customcategory” in my custom taxonomy?

Presumably if I instead have:

echo do_shortcode( ‘[dg custom_taxon=$CustomCategory]’ );

I can pass different category names to dg using a defined variable called $CustomCategory?

Andy

Perfect, that works! Thank you so much for the help, it’s always the little things….!
