First 2 taxonomies (out of 4) not pulling in results

    Hi there, love the plugin, tis a really useful feature for our site, so thanks very much for developing it!

    Just having one issue with it…..

    We have 4 taxonomies:
    – Categories (articles, data, video, podcasts)
    – Tags
    – Locations (ireland, us, uk, etc.)
    – Topics (politics, health, etc.)

    The first two listed (Categories, Tags) always just revert back to All Categories/Tags when you select any Categories/Tags, on production of any results.

    The other two taxonomies (Locations/Topics) work fine.

    The first two are default WP taxonomies, whereas the other two are custom taxonomies. Could this point to an issue?

    Our aim is to use the filter for just Categories, Locations and Topics, so the Tag will be removed via this css:

    #beautiful-taxonomy-filters-tax-post_tag {
    display:none;
}

    We’ve just left Tags up there incase it helps to identify the problem.

    Hope you can help! If not, we can use Locations and Topics only if necessary, but it sure would be nice to get to the bottom of the issue for future reference.

    Hi,

    Thank you for appreciating the plugin!

    It seems that you have found kind of a loophole in the restrictions of the plugin. It isn’t meant to support WordPress core categories and tags since they are usually used just for WordPress core post types which cannot be supported at this time (more about that in the FAQ). You’ve hooked into the core taxonomies (cat and tags) and added them to your CPT which circumvents the plugins restrictions 🙂

    So in short the plugin can’t currently support categories and tags and they shouldn’t even be able to appear. I will put this issue in my hotfix list and hopefully have a new version out in a few days that at least removes these without you having to resort to CSS display hacking.

    In the long term I’ll look into wether I can support categories and tags added to a CPT.

    If that’s a good enough answer for you please feel free to mark this topic as resolved 🙂

    Have a good evening

    Cheers for getting back Jonathan!

    Ah, I see. I understood about the non-use of default WP post types, but I didnt realise that it also included default WP taxonomies too.

    In saying that, Ive no idea how I added them to my CPT lol. Im presuming that one of the plugins Im using has done this for me. It certainly wasn’t something I planned on doing.

    Maybe its https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/ ?
    Its own dashboard does not show Cats/Tags as CPT, but maybe it does it ‘under the hood’ as such? http://www.blatantworld.com/wp-content/uploads/CPT.png

    Would very much appreciate it if you could indeed sort out removing those completely if possible, as Im using hundreds of tags and this adds a ton of text to the source code, and Im currently not using any caching/minimising until the site is 100% developed.

    All the best from Dublin, Damien

    Resolved 🙂

    Yep it does seem to be types running rampart on its own.. You’re not able to deactivate tags and categories on your own when clicking edit? Or perhaps you actually do use them 🙂

    I could deactivate them, but sadly we are indeed using both of them extensively. Every Post/CPT has both Tags and Categories.

    Id prefer to keep the Categories as they are (article, podcast, video, etc). Its kinda our main front-end ‘article type’ for visitors, so we want to keep those as WP default categories incase of any DB/etc issues in the future.

    And we will also definitely be using Tags extensively for SEO purposes – useful for those searching for niche subjects/persons that we may be covering.

    Anyhoo, tnx again for the advice, look forward to the update 🙂

    If you use them then of course you should keep them!

    I’ll push out a hotfix update as soon as possible so you don’t have to CSS hack.

    cheers!

    Just a heads up. The hotfix is out!

    Cheers for the heads up!

    Just updated the plugin, and checked the site, and tags/cats are still appearing in the sourcecode. Then went to the plugin admin in WP to remove the css hack, and that part of the admin panel is unavailable now with an error.

    Im not sure if there are sections at the bottom of that panel unavailable. The last available section within Plugin admin panel is….

    Disable the filterinfo modules post count:

    Warning: require_once(/home/sdf5hs59dgj/public_html/wp-content/plugins/beautiful-taxonomy-filters/admin/partials/beautiful-taxonomy-filters-disable-postcount-settings-display.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sdf5hs59dgj/public_html/wp-content/plugins/beautiful-taxonomy-filters/admin/class-beautiful-taxonomy-filters-admin.php on line 309

    Cheers for working on it so promotly, hope I havn’t created more work for you 🙂

    Hi.

    Sorry about that. Some files got lost in the rush 🙂
    A new fix is out that should work!

    Fair play. Just updated again. Admin panel is back up 100%, but the default WP Cats/Tags are still showing up as before. Have cleared browser cache, there’s no server-side caching, so looks like issue still exists.

    Let me know if I can do anything from my end, alternatively if you have some sort of code fix that I could add manually, also let me know and I’ll give it a go! Tnx again 🙂

    I’m looking at your site right now and there’s no category or tags to be found..

    Perhaps you got an especially stubborn browsercache?

    Apologies, I had removed them via the css, but they are still there within the sourcecode, as per before. Did you look at the sourcecode? Im still getting them on multiple pcs and multiple browsers, so Im presuming its nothing to do with cache.

    Ive now removed the css hack, so you can see them visually too 🙂

    Ahhhh Doh-moment here.
    I’ve forgotten to add the new code to the widget.. I guess that’s what I get for rushing and trying to multitask 😉

    I suppose hotfix #3 will be imminent.

    lol… and Phew!! glad theres a fix. Thanks again for all the work you done on the plugin, and for the efforts on these fixes too!

    EDIT: Just updated, and tested, and it all works perfectly. Plus all tags/cats removed from sourcecode. Happy days 🙂

    lol… you certainly deserve that! Thanks again for all the help. Delighted with the plugin, so left an appropriate 5* review. More should certainly know about this plugin, as its uses are endless! Great piece of technology. Have a great w/e 🙂
