I believe if you set the taxonomy to hierarchical, that’ll help. It’ll treat things more like categories and less like tags.
Michael,
It is set to heiarchical, but I would like to show a drop down of my Speakers taxonomy in the sidebar like the native category dropdown available in wp. How can I do that?
Sounds like you’re thinking of https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories which actually has a parameter that allows you to select which taxonomy you want it to display.
taxonomy
(string) (optional) Taxonomy to return. Valid values are 'category', 'post_tag' or any registered taxonomy.
Default: category
Probably your best bet. We don’t have any sort of custom display functionality built into the plugin. We focus just on registration.
Ah. That look like it will work, but where do I find the file with that code in it to edit? Or should I just add it to my child theme’s functions.php file?
Or perhaps, since this is actually a woocommerce site, I should ask Woo where to find that?
The function itself is already available to use, you just need to find the appropriate template to edit to use the function in. For that, I can’t say as I don’t know the theme you’re using at all and how things are set up.
Ok I’ll ask the theme devs. It’s a Woo Theme
