Taxonomy & custom post types problems

Hi Chouby, sorry for the late reply but have been away for a day.

When I activate the languages management for the Custom Post Type (products) and for the Taxonomy (shop-category) I get this message from Chrome: “This webpage has a redirect loop”.

Also, is it necessary to activate both the CPT and Taxonomy if I don’t want to use translations for my Shop section?

With my “Videos” Custom Post Type and “Videos Categories” Taxonomy I got the same identical set in the functions.php, only the name change. I remember that the Videos CPT and Tax. hand the same problem at some point, than by working on it I was able to make it work (except for the Taxonomy highlight thing).

Also, you can notice that on the page “http://manonuda.com/videos-categories/showreel/” on the top of the content area there is “List of videos for: English”. That should be the name of the taxonomy term, but with Polylang activated it writes “English” not the term.

Here is the code:

<?php if( get_post_type() == 'mnd_videos' && !is_front_page() ) { ?>
		<?php
			// from: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/equivalent-of-single_cat_title-for-custom-taxonomy-archive-page?replies=5
			$termname = $wp_query->queried_object->name;
			echo '<h2 class="archive-title">List of videos for: <span>&quot;' . $termname . '&quot;</span></h2>';
		?>

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Ok, I deactivated “When using static front page, redirect the language page (example: http://manonuda.com/en/) to the front page in the right language”, and pages are back.

Now I need to sort out the originals problems.

Chouby, I updated to 1.2.4, but all the problems are still there:

1) No display for Shop/Products custom post type and taxonomy
2) No “current” class for Videos Categories Taxonomy
3) Displaying the word “English” instead of “Taxonomy Term Name”

The custom taxonomy is from my self-mada theme:

Here’s the code:

// Custom Post Types
	// --------------------------------------------------------------------
	add_action( 'init', 'create_my_post_types' );

	function create_my_post_types() {

		// Videos
		register_post_type( 'mnd_videos',
			array(
				'labels' => array(
					'name' => __( 'Videos' ),
					'singular_name' => __( 'Video' )
				),
				'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'videos', 'with_front'=> true),
				'public' => true,
				'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'custom-fields'),
				'register_meta_box_cb' => 'add_videos_metaboxes',
				'menu_position' => 5

			)
		);
		// Shop
		register_post_type( 'mnd_products',
			array(
				'labels' => array(
					'name' => __( 'Products' ),
					'singular_name' => __( 'Product' )
				),
				'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'shop', 'with_front'=> true),
				'public' => true,
				'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'custom-fields'),
				'register_meta_box_cb' => 'add_products_metaboxes',
				'menu_position' => 6

			)
		);

// Custom Taxonomies
	// --------------------------------------------------------------------
	function create_taxonomies() {

		// Video Categories (Channels) for "Videos" Custom Post Type
		register_taxonomy('videos-categories', 'mnd_videos', array(
			'hierarchical' => false,
			'label' => 'Channels',
			'query_var' => true,
			'show_ui' => true,
			'show_admin_column' => true,

			// Control the slugs used for this taxonomy
			'rewrite' => true,
			'rewrite' => array(
				'slug' => 'channels',
				'with_front'=> false
			)

		));

		// Shop Categories for "Products" Custom Post Type
		register_taxonomy('shop-categories', 'mnd_products', array(
			'hierarchical' => false,
			'label' => 'Shop Categories','
			query_var' => true,
			'show_ui' => true,
			'show_admin_column' => true,

			// Control the slugs used for this taxonomy
			'rewrite' => true,
			'rewrite' => array(
				'slug' => 'products',
				'with_front'=> false
			)

		));

You see, “Shop” and “Videos” are the rewrite rules for the Custom Post Types, so I don’t know how the Taxonomies for that Custom Post Types put that in front, even if actually that is my desired structure.

I am aiming at having:
shop/training-outfit/hoodie

Not:
shop/products/training-outfit/hoodie

In the taxonomy function I got the “with_front” > False

'rewrite' => array(
				'slug' => 'products',
				'with_front'=> false
			)

But “products” still appear in the permalinks structure.

Anyway, that is probably not related to the Polylang issue, even if I need to solve that one too.

I am willing to donate for your time taking care of this issue, and I can send you my whole theme by email, if you send me your address. Thanks!
