@wpuser, here it is in action.

Hi @wpuser!

We have checked and identified the files to be edited in Virtue Premium theme in order to enhance the category pages as desired.

Here they are (click to see the diff):

1. archive.php
2. templates/page-header.php

Note: A very good resource for any WordPress developer/designer/power user is the WordPress Template Hierarchy. As you could see, there, unless category.php file is found, then WordPress usese archive.php, as it is the case with Virtue Premium theme.

PS: You can support open source community with a donation: click here to donate or/and you could share your experience with our plugin: rate ECP plugin.

@wpuser, we have received your archive and shall run some tests this week.

@digigigi

By calling $enhanced_category->setup_ec_data(); the current queried term is identified by using (in order):

1. get_query_var("taxonomy");
2. get_query_var("term");
3. get_cat_id(single_cat_title("", false));

This is designed to setup current post to the corresponding enhanced category custom post.

Alternatively, if you have the id of the category (let’s say in $cat_id) you can use calling setup_ec_data using id param:

$enhanced_category->setup_ec_data($cat_id);

Looking at your code, the best promising place is just above line:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

Of course tests should be done on live code.

@wpuser Please send your template to our support email: [email protected]

Thank you!

Hi!

Thank you for choosing our plugin and finding it useful.

Your question is specific to the theme you are using and can be fully answered only with access to that plugin code. Unfortunately we don’t have access to it.

Could you identify the file in your theme that is responsible with displaying the category page?

Thank you!

PS: we have been away, so please accept my apologies for the delayed response.

No problem, I am glad the plugin was useful to you.

Cheers and good luck!

PS: I would greatly appreciate a rating for the plugin.

This has been solved so it is being marked as resolved. Cheers!

How did it worked for you?

I am marking this as resolved due to the amount passed since it was opened and being inactive.

Depends on your setup, but this does nothing to do with ECP plugin.

Hi!

The comments are attached to the custom post the plugin creates and the wp-comments-post.php (the script that handles posting comments) redirects to that page, in your case /?enhanced-category=222

In order to solve this, you have to add a hidden field in the comment post form. You can do this by adding some extra arguments when comment_form function is called, presumably in comments.php script in your theme folder.

Now the code:

$args = array( 'comment_notes_after' => '<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '" />');

comment_form($args);

Hi!

We are glad you found our plugin useful.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. initially the Enhanced Category Pages plugin enhanced only categories. As per our users’ request, starting with version 1.0 the plugin enhances all terms (including categories). You found in our code the empty method because it is in our future plans to allow users to manage the taxonomies they need to be enhanced.
2. editing is_valid_taxonomy to filter the taxonomies you need enhanced is enough to avoid enhancing all taxonomies – the method is already called where needed, no further calls are required.
3. we had an issue using the post_category field – it incremented the count of posts attached to the category and found it difficult to prevent this otherwise. We are open to suggestions.
4. Export – only standard tables are exported by default and there is no way using to augment the export file. (there are requests for this WP feature lasting 5 years ago…). We may be able to drop the need for the correlation table by using posts meta data. We shall address this for the next release.

Let me know if I have addressed all your questions and if there is anything open, let us know.

Hi!

Could you send me the file you have modified? (You may use https://pastebin.com/ service)

This code cannot work because of the (->) operator not being applied to an object (notice the ; preceding it:

comments_template(); -> get_template_part('post', 'comment');

Hi and thank you, much appreciated!

Could you provide with more details:

1. what files have you changed?
2. what were the changes?
3. what error do you have? (check error.log also)
4. could you provide us a link?

Also, check our FAQ section and the other Support posts.

Hi Noahj!

Is this still pending?

The plugin adds custom post type called enhancedcategory in order to manage the category custom pages.

You can add any features to it as you would with any other custom post type.

Let me know if this solved your issue.

Please note that we also offer premium paid support and custom WP/PHP development, so feel free to contact me to discuss further.
