We need to display in a page a grid of custom posts ordered by their category and linked to their post page, for example

houses
house01 - house02 - house03
house04 - house05 - house06

BUILDINGS
building01 - building02 - building03

(etc.)

we tried to create a view that displays a custom post grid and displayed within a view of post categories buti it doesn't work.

do you have any help on how to achieve this result?

thanks

Franco

Hi Franco,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

What you tried is the right approach and to achieve this you'll need two different views:

1. A parent view will be a taxonomy view which will show the categories.

2. A child view will be a post view that will be nested in that parent view, to show all posts attached to the current category.

We have a guide on this topic at:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-a-child-view-in-a-taxonomy-view-layout/

In case it still doesn't work, you're welcome to share temporary admin login details along with the link to a page, where this view can be seen.

Note: Your next reply will be private and though no changes will be made on your website, please make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar
