Question about found function to replace standard icon for posts in archive

Hi Elliott,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried is_tax as well, but that doesn’t work either. Here’s the function (it uses a custom fontello icon, which works fine without any of the is_-based checks):

function avia_replace_standard_icon($icons) {
	if (is_tax('business_category')) {
		$icons['business_profile'] = array('font' => 'fontello', 'icon' => 'ue803');
	}
	return $icons;
}
add_filter('avf_default_icons', 'avia_replace_standard_icon');

I’m clueless as to why the above function doesn’t return true for a check. I’m in fact using another is_tax-based function, which does return true. Here’s the code of the working function (it renames the archive’s H1 title):

function archive_suit_business_category($output) {
	if (is_tax('business_category')) {
		$term = get_term_by('slug', get_query_var('term'), get_query_var('taxonomy'));
		$output = 'Business category: ' . $term->name;
	}

	return $output;
}
add_filter('avf_which_archive_output', 'archive_suit_business_category');

Do you know why the same check works for the 2nd function, but not for the 1st?

Best,

Ralph

Thank you very much, Elliott! Your code suggestion got me in the right direction. It worked right away for the custom taxonomy-based archive, but not yet for the custom post type slug-based archive. To get that archive type working too, I added || is_post_type_archive('business_profile') to the check. This is the final code, that works for both archive types:

function avia_replace_standard_icon() {
	global $avia_config;
	if (is_tax('business_category') || is_post_type_archive('business_profile')) {
		$avia_config['font_icons']['standard'] = array('font' => 'fontello', 'icon' => 'ue803');
	} else {
		$avia_config['font_icons']['standard'] = array('font' => 'entypo-fontello', 'icon' => 'ue836');
	}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'avia_replace_standard_icon');

Thanks again and regards,

Ralph
