roadtrip

I completely agree! I build my sites from scratch in HTML, then I use Blank Slate to create my custom themes. It’s so awesome.

Question: I use Classic Editor and ACF with Blank Slate, which works like a charm. Some clients, however, come to me with the Gutenburg Block Editor, which I struggle with. Which workflow do you typically use, Classic or Block?

Oh, hold the phone. It seems to be populating slowly now. Whew. But why didn’t my images migrate?

Update: I did find a solution that I would like to share.

I created 3 templates: taxonomy-gallerynames-A.php, taxonomy-gallerynames-B.php, and taxonomy-gallerynames-C.php. In each template was basically all the contents from single-galleries.php, but with queries for the different terms (gallery names) in each.

Then, I found this magical code to put into the archive-galleries.php page, to call the term templates:

<?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'gallerynames', ' ', ', ', ' ' ); ?>

Once I popped it into my archive template, I realized what it does. It displays a link that calls my taxonomy-gallerynames-term.php templates! Yay all was right with the world! So I replaced the permalink code, which you would normally use to link to your custom post, and that’s how I got it to work.

Question, though: Do permalinks not work with taxonomies?

And further question: How can I make the above code display something other than the TITLE as a link? Because I want the link to say, “MORE DETAILS”. Seems like it would be so simple but I can’t find the answer.

Tried adding a description on each called ‘More Details’ then modified the code:

<?php the_terms( $term->description, gallerynames', ' ', ', ', ' ' ); ?>

but it doesn’t work.

Although this solution works like a charm, I’m still left wondering if there could be a step I could save by making only ONE taxonomy.gallerynames.php template and calling each gallery name (term) with a conditional statement. For this project I only have 3 gallery names, but what if I had 30? Would I have to create 30 new templates for each?

Anyway, if anyone could shed light on this, that would be swell. ANd I hope my solution helps anyone out there who is as desperate for a solution as I was!

Cheers!

Getting closer. I added the taxonomy argument and got the speakers list to display, but they all display, instead of according to term associated with each. Here’s the rev:

<?php
                $the_query = new WP_Query( array(
                    'post_type' => 'speakers',
                    'taxonomy' => 'event-names',
                     'orderby'=>'title',
                     'order'=>'ASC'
                ));

                ?>

                <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 

                    if ( has_term( 'embedding', 'event-names' ) ) {

                        echo get_sidebar('embedding'); 

                    } elseif ( has_term( 'reorganizing', 'event-names' ) ) {

                        echo get_sidebar('reorganizing'); 

                    } elseif ( has_term( 'accountability', 'event-names' ) ) {

                        echo get_sidebar('accountability'); 

                    } else {
                        // catch-all for everything else (archives, searches, 404s, etc)
                        echo "<p>That's all.</p>";
                    } // That's all, folks

                endwhile; ?>

                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

I tried to call different sidebar templates with conditional statements, but it’s not working and I’m not sure this is the correct syntax:

<?php if ( has_term( 'a', 'gallery-names' ) ) {

					    echo get_sidebar('artists-a');

					} elseif ( has_term( 'b', 'gallery-names' ) ) {

					    echo get_sidebar('artists-b');

					} else ( has_term( 'c', 'gallery-names' ) ) {

					    echo get_sidebar('artists-c');
					}

					?>
					<?php endif; ?>
  					<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
