Tagged: Custom Post Type, external URL
Hello Enfold Support Team,
This is a two part question :
I have a custom post type named “Journal” . This custome post type has a custom field with slug “wpcf-field_link_url” which has an external url(each post has different url)
Part 1:
when I go to the archive page for this custom post type (arhive-journal.php – same as archive.php no customizations done), I am shown all the posts related to this post type.
When I click on “Read More” or the “title” , it navigates me to that Custom Post’s single page view i.e. by default we get taken to the Custom Post (single-journal.php which has same code as single.php – no customizations yet).
Question 1:
How do I change the Link to point to the custom field “wpcf-filed_link_url” when clicked on “read more” and “title” instead of the self link
Part 2:
When i go to the single page view of the custom post type , (single-journal.php which has same code as single.php -no customizations yet) i am shown the feature image , title, description etc.
The featured image and title are links which point to the same page.
Question 2:
How do I change the link for the title and image in Single custom post view to use the url defined in custom field “wpcf-filed_link_url” i.e. when Title or Image is clicked in the Single post view, it needs to open the link defined in custom field “wpcf-filed_link_url”
NOTE: I have use toolset plugin to create custom posts and custom fields and manually created the single-journal.php , but could create the Display i wanted. On reading many forums i realized that Enfold theme is not compatible with toolset plugin. so i am not able to create a view from front end and now i am trying to make changes in template files directly.
Hey, can someone please help me out? i think i provided enough detail and havent received a response yet
you can close this out. i figured on how this can be done
