Problem with Custom Taxonomy Filters

Anonymous

#19030

Hi guys,
I don’t know why but my custom category doesn’t display in front end page.

This is my code in order to add my custom post type + taxonomy

add_action('init', 'create_value');
function create_value() 
{

  $labels = array(
    'name' => _x('Value', 'value'),
    'singular_name' => _x('Value', 'value'),
    'add_new' => _x('Add', 'value'),
    'add_new_item' => __('Add new value'),
    'edit_item' => __('Edit value'),
    'new_item' => __('New value'),
    'view_item' => __('Go to value'),
    'search_items' => __('Search an value'),
    'not_found' =>  __('No value'),
    'not_found_in_trash' => __('No value in trash'), 
    'parent_item_colon' => ''
  );
  $args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'public' => true,
    'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-lightbulb',
    'show_ui' => true, 
    'query_var' => true,
    'has_archive' => true,
    'rewrite' => true,
    'capability_type' => 'post',
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'menu_position' => 1
  ); 
  register_post_type('value',$args);
}

register_taxonomy( "filter", 
	array("value"), 
	array("hierarchical" => true,
			"labels" => array('name'=>"Category",'add_new_item'=>"Add category"), 
			"singular_label" => __( "Field" )
			
		 ) 
);

The following images shows how I’ve configured Search & Filter plugin, and the display result. You can see that the li.sf-field-taxonomy-filter is empty.

Empty ul

Do you guys have an idea of what could be causing this issue ?

Hi Damien

I see you are not setting all the labels – if I remember correctly S&F looks at the all_items_label so it knows what to put first in the fields – ie “all categories” – try adding this and see if it works?

Thanks

Hi Ross,

The all categories is blank for the “Sort Order” dropdown list, but this one works as expected.
The all_items_label for custom category is setting to “All”
If I add a “Test” heading, there is the html output :
OUTPUT

Hi Damien

But did you try to add the correct labels for the taxonomy above?

register_taxonomy( "filter", 
	array("value"), 
	array("hierarchical" => true,
			"labels" => array('name'=>"Category",'add_new_item'=>"Add category"), 
			"singular_label" => __( "Field" )
			
		 ) 
);

You should be setting way more labels than just “name” and “add new item”

Thanks

Ok I replace with this

// hook into the init action and call create_value_cat when it fires
add_action( 'init', 'create_value_cat', 0 );

// create two taxonomies, genres and writers for the post type "book"
function create_value_cat() {
    // Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)
    $labels = array(
        'name'              => _x( 'Type', 'taxonomy general name' ),
        'singular_name'     => _x( 'Type', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
        'search_items'      => __( 'Search Type' ),
        'all_items'         => __( 'All Type' ),
        'parent_item'       => __( 'Parent Type' ),
        'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Type:' ),
        'edit_item'         => __( 'Edit Type' ),
        'update_item'       => __( 'Update Type' ),
        'add_new_item'      => __( 'Add New Type' ),
        'new_item_name'     => __( 'New Type Name' ),
        'menu_name'         => __( 'Type' ),
    );

    $args = array(
        'hierarchical'      => true,
        'labels'            => $labels,
        'show_ui'           => true,
        'show_admin_column' => true,
        'query_var'         => true,
        'rewrite'           => array( 'slug' => 'type' ),
    );

    register_taxonomy( 'filter', array( 'value' ), $args );
}

S&F Search UI form is configured like this

UI FORM SETTINGS

but the ul is still empty 🙁

Hi Damien

At this point I’m not sure what to suggest

Perhaps your add_action( 'init', 'create_value_cat', 0 ); call is being called within another hook and therefore being fired too late although you have put a high priority on it..

You could also try using https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories somewhere in one of your templates to see if this taxonomy is loaded correctly.

If wp_list_categories is not working correctly then you are not initialising your taxonomy correctly.

Thanks

my list categories output is working, and i’m not sure that this issue is due to add_action( 'init', 'create_value_cat', 0 ); because before I do not use it.
WEIRD :((

Just a note.
I just compared this website with an older one that i’ve made, with S&F plugin that works properly.

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://somfy.local/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/search-filter-build.js?ver=1.4.1'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://somfy.local/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js?ver=1.4.1'></script>

On my actual website, I can see the plugin loads 2 js files
On my older website, the plugin don’t load the 2 files, the problem can be cause by this ?

Hi Damien

Just thought (and think I have the answer) – what version of the plugin are you using? The current version is 1.4.3 – this latest version has compatibility fixes for WordPress 4.2

Thanks

Works with 1.4.3 !
