Discovered what the problem was, not an issue with CPT-UI or user permissions but with the Menu Editor plugin I also have installed. Another Admin had “hidden” another instance of the Taxonomy link in the Admin Panel sidebar by changing the user role permissions, which was affecting all the links.

Thank you for your very prompt response, fantastic plugin! Apologies for the confusion :S

Cheers!

Yes, that is exactly the problem I’m having. So they can successfully create new taxonomy terms but cannot edit/delete them, which is not great. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. I’ve had a play around with the code you provided and also read the get_terms documentation and between the two I’ve managed to get it working!

@philipjohn: Excellent! Have to admit, haven’t had the time yet to try it out but that is great news ??
Now, the last piece of the puzzle, can I filter by tag?

@caimin_nwl: Hi, thanks for the answer, looks pretty good ?? Here I was thinking I couldn’t use that option with a limit=1 attribute, so nice to see you can. Is there a way of filtering the returned value to be the next event, i.e. the next available event temporally?
Also, could I filter the output to only include events with a certain tag?

Feature request sent ?? I’m marking this as resolved as I don’t believe there’s anywhere else to go from here ?? Thanks again!

@cais – Thanks for the fantastic support with this ??

I’ll pop on over to the Feature Request right now and outline my concept for implementation ?? Great to see a company promoting that feature ??

@cais: I’m aware it’s not the “usual” request ?? And I do have a workaround, but it’s not very elegant at the moment so thought I’d check.
As for your suggestions, the tag_ids used are already singular. The idea is that the page slug is being injected into the shortcode using PHP; any images that are to appear on that page can then be easily sorted by the client by simply tagging them with the slug. However, some images may overlap the pages they’re needed on, so using tags is necessary to make sure they can be displayed in multiple places.
The website is highly dynamic, it’s a portfolio of an events company, so every new event needs to have a new page and each event page will have photos from different years uploaded (therefore tagged to the same event hub page, but potentially displayed per year on other pages as well).

That said, it seems there is no current way to do this? I knew it would be a long shot, but given that excludes allows for subalbums to be referenced (plus given the wealth of short code attributes not in the official documentation) I was hoping it was available somewhere to just set excludes: g_2 or something ??

EDIT: Oops, sorry missed your first sentence ?? So it isn’t possible, any idea if this is a feature that may be added in the future? And thanks for all your help, other than this small issue the customisation of the plugin is fantastic so props to all involved ?? I will be rating shortly and very highly, definitely using it in some other builds I have coming up ??

@tizz: yeh, I’ve played around with that setting. It also doesn’t work for me because I’m using a template to serve multiple pages, so it needs to be as water tight and future proofed as possible. A gallery ID will never change, so that is what I need to use ?? Thanks for the reply though ??

EDIT: Also, to be clear, the images in the slideshow are being pulled from multiple galleries, the only selector being used is a tag_ids one ??

@cais: Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately your suggestion won’t work for my purposes. I’m building the shortcode directly into the template for the pages that will form the backbone of a client’s website, so I can’t rely on the ATP ??
Further, it isn’t individual images I’m wanting to exclude but an entire gallery. As I am wanting to display all images that use a certain tag in a slide show on the page (which works fantastically), but I have one gallery that should never be shown in those slideshows as it is linked to promotional material rather than public photographs. I also can’t pull the slideshow only from one gallery, as it needs to update on the fly with images added to future galleries (being a part of the template, it can’t be edited easily by the client).

Also, don’t worry about the custom templates, I was worried using two was causing a conflict but it was an issue with a php loop within another part of the page! That part is sorted now ??

tl;dr I need a way to exclude content on a gallery level, rather than individually by images. Is that possible?
