We have a custom post type called: training with a custom taxonomy of certified therapist training. The url structure for these are:
hidden link
The taxonomy for Certified Therapist Training is: hidden link
level 1, level 2, level 3, etc...
Visually it looks like this (see the sidebar of the url above).
Certified Therapist Training (parent taxonomy)
> Level 1 (child taxonomy)
> Level 2 (child taxonomy)
> Level 3 (child taxonomy)
> Level 4 (child taxonomy)
We want to create a view for this top level of this taxonomy: hidden link
So I followed your suggestion about making a page for this.
First I set up a standard wp page called training that has the correct url: hidden link (but this url is reserved for our custom post type of that name)
Then I created a new standard WP page called certified therapist training and made it's parent the page above (training).
But when I visit this page it's showing up as 404 not found. This is obviously because these urls are reserved for our custom post type. Also we are rewriting the taxonomies to: training/certified-therapist-training because if we don't do this they just default to hidden link level-1 and we need the bit in the middle certified-therapist-training
What I am trying to do is create a view or a layout that displays when someone visits 3 of our top level training taxonomy pages:
hidden link hidden link taxonomy rewrite for this is training/cpd-course hidden link taxonomy rewrite for this is training/workshop
Apologies if I've not been able to explain this clearly enough in my previous support ticket.
Thank you for opening the new ticket. The simple solution to this I think is to rename the pages slightly different that has Taxonomy View inside it. For example, Rename the page:
/workshop >> to >> /workshops
And then take the page link and add it to the Titles that you have in your site, such as main taxonomy heading text added in sidebar.
404 page not found is shown because there is no php template file for Main taxonomy pages in the theme. And also Toolset can’t be used to create a View or layout for this. Hence 2nd solution would be to add the php Archive Template page for this >> and in that we can list the terms (Level 1, Level 2, etc) using code or might be possible to execute the Taxonomy View in the php template file. I can help with it if you want to go in this direction, otherwise above 1st solution is easy to use.
I've now created a standard WP page for our top level taxonomy pages: hidden link
This is a Toolset layout and has two columns in the left hand column we have a single widget which is supposed to display the title, featured image and other fields of each certified therapist training. But you can see that none of this content is being output. What do I need to do to get the images and other fields to display? I've tried embedding a content template but that doesn't work either.
Ok I am going to check that too. Just to confirm Top level Taxonomy pages are created fine now with my last instructions? As I see the pages are created by content is not displaying which I will debug further.
For that I need to request temporary website WP-admin and FTP info for your site to debug further and to help in resolving this. Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.
=== Please backup your database and website ===
✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.
✙ Please add link to Layout edit screen and which Widget you are using.
Test page: hidden link
You can add the same Parent View into your page, add more fields in the Post View as needed (post image, excerpt, readmore, etc).
