Hi there,

I have a webpage displaying a directory of people (custom post types) whose roles are assigned by a taxonomy (team member type: staff, board, or trainer).

A view lists all of the people and has a custom search to let visitors filter between the staff, board members, and trainers. (A screenshot is attached for reference.) Here are my questions:

+ How can I order the taxonomy terms? Right now, they're in alphabetical order (board member, staff, trainer), but I need them to be in this order: staff, trainer, board.

+ When the page with the view initially loads, it displays all people regardless of role. Can I configure the view to display only the staff people as a default?

+ Can I change the language of the taxonomy terms in the filter? For example, to rename "Board Member" to "Board Members"? Or should I just rename the taxonomy terms in the WordPress dashboard?

Thanks for your assistance.

Saul

Hi! I found an answer to my first question regarding re-ordering the taxonomy terms. I just used CSS grid-related properties.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please share problem URL where you added your view as well as admin access details.

Once I review your views configurations I will be able to guide you in the right direction.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Well - I'm not sure what question you would like to address now.

I'm on this page:
- hidden link

Can you please tell me what issue you would like to address now as I do not see "Staff People" anywhere using which you wanted to filter the posts by default.

Hi Minesh,

My apologies for the confusion. The page in question is called Our People:

hidden link

The related view is "View of Team Members" (ID 633).

The questions I'd like to answer are below:

+ When the page with the view initially loads, it displays all people regardless of "role." Can I configure the view to display only Staff as a default?

+ Can I change the language of the taxonomy terms in the filter? For example, to display "Trainers" as "Our Trainers"? Or should I just rename the taxonomy terms in the WordPress dashboard?

Thank you.

Saul
