I am trying to find out where the documentation is for the OPTIONS meta-box in the EDIT TAXONOMY component.
I keep getting "entry level / introductory level" videos that talk about how to create a taxonomy. What I can't find is solid documentation about "each option" in the meta-box, what it does, how to format it, what valid values are that I can apply.
Specifically: the REWRITE option for the URL
What I want to do: without custom code.... My permalinks in WordPress is setup to be: /%category%/%postname%/
I've setup a Custom Taxonomy: KB Categories
I've added a custom KB Category: Account
I've added a new custom post: "Create Account" [ x ] Account (category)
When I go to view the "Create Account" Post - WordPress is IGNORING the custom taxonomy in the URL.
I get: /help/create-account
I want: /help/account/create-account (apply the custom taxonomy term to the URL)
1) Please help me to configure this without resorting to custom code.
2) Please send me a link that shows me where the documentation is for "OPTIONS" meta-box - that gives examples of how to fill in each option?
But those rewrite rules refer to taxonomy queries, or the taxonomy archives, not to your post permalinks.
The problem with using /%category%/%postname%/ for the permalinks is that %category% refers to the in-built standard categories, not to some custom taxonomy, and there is no support for adding such placeholders for custom taxonomies in WordPress.
You would in fact need a custom solution.
I found an example tutorial you can try, but there are others if you search:
#1 - I understand that the metabox is direct parameters of WordPress, however if Toolset is going to leverage the parameters, then Toolset needs to elaborate on the documentation and example uses on their website. It's very confusing to see the metabox, and go looking for documentation on Toolset only to find "none" not even a reference page that says; if you're looking for these options / definition and use cases, see: wordpress codex here:....
I realize this statement / question has been answered all over the support forums multiple times - that in itself should have been a queue for Toolset to write a single page documentation with a screenshot - so that: google searches can find the documentation reference at least.
#2 - I would think, since Toolset is offering a PAID product for custom post types, and custom taxonomies, that Toolset would be kind enough to "write" the additional functionality needed to "include" a URL re-write option that would [ x ] rewrite URL to use custom TAXONOMY categories automatically. This just seems like a no-brainer to me.
#3 - I followed the suggestion, and tried "standard wordpress post categories" - but had no luck. WordPress still (because it was a custom post type) did NOT put the WP category in the permalink. For example: the CPT slug was there as the root, followed (again) immediately by the custom post slug. WordPress did not recognize the "wordpress category/custom post slug" format at all. So even the suggestion of using standard wordpress categories did not solve my problem.
Ultimately - again, Toolset PRO is a paid option that I've purchased. That said: I expect (hope to have) Toolset to add something to their Custom Post Type configuration, along WITH the actual code to support a custom taxonomy for use in the URL.
