custom post archive

Also, regarding my second question. I found that i can show the taxonomies using this code in the single.php template:

<?php the_terms( $post->ID, ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ ); ?>

It seems to work on the past page but not on the home page or the test page you setup?

thanks i will look into the postslider.php file.

I removed the avia block and started again. I managed to get everything showing, however now its showing pages to i.e. Contact Us, Privacy policy etc.

I need to show my custom ‘advertisement’ post type only, and it isn’t one of the options. It is only displaying the taxonomies so i cant select all of them.

So the way it is structured is:

-Advertisement post type
—taxonomy 1
—taxonomy 2
—taxonomy 3
—taxonomy etc

But the Blog post Element only has:
—taxonomy 1
—taxonomy 2
—taxonomy 3
—taxonomy etc

If i select one of the taxonomies then its not showing all the posts, only the posts in that taxonomy.

I have disabled post categories so there shouldn’t be an issue with one of the posts being uncategorised.

hmm i think i will need to create a new taxonomy with only one option, assign it to all posts and hide it from the front end. Is it possible to make a taxonomy selected by default so all posts have it automatically?

Also, i have tried editing postslider.php but i am having a really strange issue there. I have added the code below:
<p><?php the_terms( $post->ID, ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ ); ?></p>

Which works as expected on single.php, but on the front end it is showing like this:
<p>
<!–?php the_terms( , ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ ); ?–>
</p>

As if the opening tag for the PHP is being interpreted as a HTML comment?

Hi Ismael, I have tried using all of the below without success:

get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘advertisements’ );
get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘brands’ );
get_the_term_list( $post->ID, ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ );
get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ );
the_terms( get_the_ID(), ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ );
the_terms( $post->ID, ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ );
get_the_term_list( $the_id, ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ );

I think i was using the last one when I got the weird result i mentioned earlier.
Not sure what i did wrong? I have added more code below to give some context for where i added it.

$output .= ‘</header>’;
if( ( $show_meta && ! empty( $excerpt ) ) || in_array( $show_meta_data, array( ‘always’, ‘on_empty_content’ ) ) )
{
$meta = “<div class=’slide-meta’>”;
if ( $commentCount != ‘0’ || comments_open( $the_id ) && $entry->post_type != ‘portfolio’ )
{
$link_add = $commentCount === ‘0’ ? ‘#respond’ : ‘#comments’;
$text_add = $commentCount === ‘1’ ? __( ‘Comment’, ‘avia_framework’ ) : __( ‘Comments’, ‘avia_framework’ );

$meta .= “<div class=’slide-meta-comments’>{$commentCount} {$text_add}</div><div class=’slide-meta-del’>/</div>”;
}
$markup = avia_markup_helper( array( ‘context’ => ‘entry_time’, ‘echo’ => false, ‘id’ => $the_id, ‘custom_markup’ => $custom_markup ) );
$meta .= “<time class=’slide-meta-time updated’ $markup>” . get_the_time( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), $the_id ) . ‘</time>’;
$meta .= ‘</div>’;

if( strpos( $blogstyle, ‘elegant-blog’ ) === false )
{
$output .= $meta;
$meta = ”;
}
}
$markup = avia_markup_helper( array( ‘context’ => ‘entry_content’, ‘echo’ => false, ‘id’ => $the_id, ‘custom_markup’ => $custom_markup ) );
$excerpt = apply_filters( ‘avf_post_slider_entry_excerpt’, $excerpt, $prepare_excerpt, $permalink, $entry );
$output .= ! empty( $excerpt ) ? “<div class=’slide-entry-excerpt entry-content’ {$markup}>

<p>
<?php the_terms( $post->ID, ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ ); ?>
</p>

{$excerpt}</div>” : ”;
$output .= ‘</div>’;
$output .= ‘<footer class=”entry-footer”>’;

Hello,

Couple problems. Firstly this is editing the blog page, i am trying to edit the archive page – postslider.php. The code you gave me above will add the brand taxonomy to the blog page but i have already done that with the single.php.

Next problem is that the code above is displaying the Brand taxonomy as expected, but it looks like this:

Brands: <span>Brand 2</span>

Its adding the <span> tags as text not HTML

This is similar to the problem i am having on postlisder.php, where the php is being rendered as text:
<p>
<!–?php the_terms( , ‘brands’, ‘Brand: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘ ); ?–>
</p>

the actual slug i am using are:
‘advertisements’ – post type
‘brands’ – taxonomy

There are a whole lot of other taxonomies but if i can get one working then i can get the rest working.

ok its working now, it must have been my browser acting up. However its still not showing on the home page?

Your a legend! that works perfectly. This has been plaguing me for weeks.

Now to add the other taxonomies i repeated the whole chunk of code above and replaced the taxonomy name. It works but there will about 8 taxonomies to display so that’s a lot of code, is there a way to condense it?

Thank you, however only the first post is displaying correctly, all the the other posts show the word “Array” in front of the list of taxonomies?

For example :
ArrayBrand 1

instead of just:
Brand 1
