Adding custom post types and taxonomies to sidebar widgets

Hi Elliott,

Thanks for the prompt support. I have many custom post type categories and taxonomies with parents and childs. I’m not sure if is ok to manually create custom menu for each. Its like I may have to create up to 100s custom menus… and growing.

When I use the default post type PAGE, it automatically shows the category and sub categories on the sidebar. I would like to do something like that for custom post types and taxonomies. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks Ismael and Elliot,

For example:

Brand A has 5 products range.
Each range has 20-30 products.
Hence the hierarchy is

<strong>Brand A</strong>
  PRODUCT RANGE ONE 
      - Product type 1
          - Product A
          - Product B
          - Product C
          - and the list go on
      - Product type 2 
          - Product AA
          - Product BB
          - Product CC
          - and the list go on
      - Product type 3
          - Product AAA
          - Product BBB
          - Product CCC
          - and the list go on
 
  PRODUCT RANGE TWO 
      - Product type 1
          - Product A
          - Product B
          - Product C
          - and the list go on
      - Product type 2 
          - Product AA
          - Product BB
          - Product CC
          - and the list go on
      - Product type 3
          - Product AAA
          - Product BBB
          - Product CCC
          - and the list go on

When Product A is viewed, the sidebar will show

<strong>Brand A</strong> 
 PRODUCT RANGE ONE 
 PRODUCT RANGE TWO
 PRODUCT RANGE THREE

Lets assumed there many brands. It seems I have to create many custom menus for different Brands in order to show the relevant products ranges?

Hi Elliot,
I’ve tried. Neither solution works. I think it is just not possible to do it on a sidebar. Thanks.
