Any ideas on how to do this?

I managed to solve the problem with the template tag get_posts which succesfully renders an archive list of all posts. And it is customizable with simple tags. Perfect!
Here is the code:

<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 100, 'orderby'=> 'post_date');
$postslist = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<div>
		<?php the_date(); ?>
		<br />
		<?php the_title(); ?>
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
		<?php the_category(' '); ?>
	</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi Patrick,

have you found a solution to this problem? I have exactly the same problem but found no solution yet.

I am not concerned about the metaboxes in the Edit Posts area. I only want the post overview area to display the custom taxonomies. (Right now I am only able to see regular tags which do not belong to any taxonomy).
So far as I know, Justin did not cover this topic.

Hi Yeeloon,

if it is merely how to solve the 404 error when displaying a specific taxonomy than you can find the answer on this post about the same topic.

Hope this solves it for you!

Hi magaworks,
the 404 problem could be solved by updating your permalinks – at least that’s what worked for me.
Here you see how you can update them. I chose to set them in archive mode – month and name – and that worked perfectly!

That would be great! Need that too. Any code/plugin that does this?

Thanks!!

Okay now I finally understand why it wasn’t working. I expected the taxonomy-people.php to be rendered when someone visits https://wordpres/people/ – but it isn’t meant for that. taxonomy-people.php is the template for a term within the people taxonomy – not the taxonomy itself.

I’ve now made a custom _get variable containing the taxonomy name – I can then get all the terms that belong to that taxonomy and loop through them to render a list of posts that have a tag that belongs to that taxonomy.

I still wonder if there isn’t a standard way to do this – but my hack works : )

Thanks!

Yes, well I was aware of this… and that’s why I don’t understand.
Wordpress can call this taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php template of mine with success but not this taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php template. Then I get a 404 error…

This works https://wordpress/location/sint-niklaas/
but nor this https://wordpress/location/

Maybe my code on that page is not right? I just copied the page.php template for this template. Is there some reference somewhere on how to build this exact template?

Thanks for your help Michael!
Somehow I think this is just a little bit too complicated for what I am trying to do.
Isn’t the taxonomy-tax.php already included in the WP structure? For me it should work like category.php works… or tag.php. But maybe I am missing sth here?

Displaying the specific taxonomies is solved now! Updating the permalinks worked good for me… as the default setting for permalinks missed a slash and didn’t provide the correct url.

Now I can access this wordpress/taxonomy/term/
But now I want to have a specific page for each taxonomy… so I made a taxonomy-tax_name.php file… but I am not able to link to this file…
and typing this url wordpress/taxonomy/ gives me a 404 error

What am I doing wrong?
Anyone?
Thanks!

Would I not better use tags for this? For now I used this kind of taxonomy based on this tutorial.

Although I must say I miss some coverage ont his topic.

Okay, thank you for this help.
I haven’t exactly gone deep into it yet. But now I made custom taxonomies. Each post-title has three fields for custom taxonomies.
I want these to be alphabetically rearrangeable.

Woul you rather advise custom fields for this?

That does seem like a good option. But what exactly do you mean by oderby capability of the loop? Because I think that is my next issue.
I have some custom taxonomies and I would like the list to be rearrangeable on either kind of taxonomy (alphabetically).
If I get that to work, that should work fine with an accordion probably?

Thanks already!

<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { $category->cat_name . ' '; } ?><a href="<?php echo get_category_link(get_cat_id($category->cat_name)); ?>"><?php echo $category->cat_name ?></a>

This worked for me!
