Problem: I would like to use an image stored in a taxonomy field as the background for an element in my taxonomy term archive. I would also like some help formatting the taxonomy archive title and displaying the taxonomy description with a shortcode.
Solution:
Use the Types termmeta shortcode with raw output to insert the image using inline CSS. Example:
[php]
Use the wpv-taxonomy-title shortcode to display the term alone without "Categorie:" in the archive title.
Use the wpv-taxonomy-description shortcode to display the term description.
Note that you must update to the latest version of Views to get the fix for some bugs in the wpv-taxonomy-title and wpv-taxonomy-description shortcodes.
Problem: I have a site where Artists and Songs are custom post types. I would like to use a checkbox in the Song post to manage the display of the featured image of a related Artist post as a link to that related Artist post.
Solution: If you plan to allow multiple Artists per Song, then you must use a View of Artists filtered by post relationship, set by the post where the View is shown. In the Loop of the View, you can use the Loop Wizard to insert the post featured image shortcode and the post URL shortcode. Use those shortcodes to construct a custom link tag, like this:
If you only want to allow one Artist per song, the solution does not necessarily involve a View. The previous solution would still work, but a less complex solution is available. On the single Song template, use the same custom link tag shown in the code example above without the need for a loop.
