Custom taxonomies not appearing in Layouts or widgets

Problem:
How to add a widget for custom taxonomies like the WordPress categories widget

Solution:
There is a WP Views widget that can be used to output a View inside a widget.

So create a View to display taxonomy terms for your taxonomy designing the output as required, featuring term archive links using [wpv-taxonomy-link] for example.

Then add this View to a WP Views widget.

Hi there,

I've created two custom taxonomies for my events custom post. They appear in the backend editor for this post type as you'd expect.

But they do not appear as widgets in WordPress. How do I register these two taxonomies so that they appear as widgets in WP and I can access them when I add a single widget in Layouts?

I've attached a screen grab of the widget list I see when I add single widget using Layouts and a screengrab showing the custom taxonomies as they correctly appear under my event custom post type (Event Categories and Event Locations).

Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi Guy

There are no widgets for custom taxonomies in the same way that there is a widget for built-in categories.

You can use the WP Views widget though to output a View in a widget.

So create a new View. For the Content Selection you will want to choose taxonomy, and then the specific taxonomy you require.

This will return the terms of that taxonomy.

So design the Loop output section to output whatever you require, such as a link to the term archive using the [wpv-taxonomy-link] shortcode.

Then insert a WP Views widget where required and specify your newly created View.

Let me know if you run into problems with that.
