    Hi Everyone,
    I’m trying to create a page that displays all posts from a particular custom field with the same value in a similar way to a standard category page (post title, thumbnail, excerpt and read more button).

    Is there a plug-in or some that can help me do this?

    I’d be incredibly greatful for any help you can give me.
    Regards,
    Rhiannon

    Hi there,

    Your best bet would be to use Custom Taxonomies rather than custom fields as you probably won’t find a plugin to display a custom field based archive (I could be wrong…); however there are plugins out there that will convert your custom fields to custom taxonomies, e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-field-taxonomies/. which can have their own archive (category style) pages like what you’re looking for.

    My go-to plugin for creating a custom taxonomy is
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-maker/

    Then you’d run the other conversion plugin

    Then after refreshing the permalinks and working out the URL, you’d probably have what you’re looking for (depends on your theme structure).

    Hope that helps,
    cheers,
    gwyn
