Multisite Twenty Twenty Child theme

Anonymous

#258691

Hello – Having major issues with my multisite installation not working with Search & Filter Pro. Here are the notes I have:

– The plugin is currently not network activated, only activated within the subsite.
– All subsites within the multisite are child themes of Twenty Twenty.
– Displaying results as a shortcode in the hardcoded template.
– I attempted to add custom post type + custom taxonomy to the functions.php file. However, the search form either doesn’t show up or is repeated several times down the page along with the results. Very inconsistent.

functions.php

 /* ----------------------------

function custom_post_type() {
 
// Set UI labels for Custom Post Type
    $labels = array(
        'name'                => _x( 'Alumni', 'Post Type General Name', 'twentytwenty' ),
        'singular_name'       => _x( 'Alumnus', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'twentytwenty' ),

Are you saying that the form does not work with the Custom Post Type and the Custom Taxonomy you have made, or that it does not appear correctly on a page, or both?

I assume that the Custom Post Type and the Custom Taxonomy are made just within the one subsite in that subsite’s child theme functions.php file?

And that any template you have modified to add the form and/or results is also just within that subsite child theme folder?

Thanks for the quick response! It is super appreciated.

Yes, from what I am seeing, the form does not work with the Custom Post Type and Custom Taxonomy in the functions.php file. However, as you can probably imagine, that code is critical to the search. I also tried using the below CPT format but to no avail either:

add_action( 'init', 'create_user_story_tax' );

function create_user_story_tax() {

    /* Create Genre Taxonomy */
    $args = array(
        'label' => __( 'Genre' ),
        'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'genre' ),
        'hierarchical' => true,
    )

    register_taxonomy( 'genre', 'user-story', $args );

    /* Create Story Type Taxonomy */
    $args = array(
            'label' => __( 'Story Type' ),
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'story-type' ),
            'hierarchical' => true,
        )

    register_taxonomy( 'story-type', 'user-story', $args );

Yes, that CPT and custom taxonomy are created only within the /subsite-1 theme. There are 3 subsites total in the multisite installation:

http://domain.com
http://domain.com/subsite-1
http://domain.com/subsite-2

Rather than using code in the functions.php file, can you try using the Custom Post Type UI plugin to make them? That at least might point to any coding errors.

I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

OK, I will wait to hear from you. Note that the plugin I suggested has the option to show the code you would have to use in the functions.php file. I find it very useful to use it this way, grab the code, and then disable the plugin!
