Okay i did the archive wrong,
I now have a page with a list of all tags in a custom taxonomy
using:

<?php
      $taxonomy     = 'custom';
      $orderby      = 'name';
      $show_count   = 0;
      $pad_counts   = 0;
      $hierarchical = 1;
      $title        = '';

      $args = array(
        'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
        'orderby'      => $orderby,
        'show_count'   => $show_count,
        'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
        'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
        'title_li'     => $title
      );
?>

<ul>
      <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>

And each tag list item goes to a page with all posts tagged with that custom taxonomy tag using taxonomy-custom.php and:

<?php $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>

        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Now is it possible to make this page a wordpress ‘page’ template
so that for each taxonomy tag i have a new page using the same template
in which the user can write a bit of info about the particular taxonomy tag?

I created a page template using the taxonomy.php code but it doesn’t work because i’m guessing wordpress is using the archive.php instead through the template hierarchy?

Hope i explained ok and thanks for any help

Aaargh,
found out what was wrong, i was editing my local copy of the theme instead of the one i had on my local server

anyone?

The tut link

Will defo have a look at that book, thanks.

I’ve just tried out the code, it half works,
each social comes up like this(using facebook as an example:

mysite/wp-content/themes/mythemeFacebook profile

on the webpage it shows that url then the facebook link right on the end, it links to the correct url.

All that is wrong is that the icon doesn’t show and my theme location url shows.
If it matters i’m creating a child theme using bones.

Thanks wlindley for the help,

Can you explain to me how i would use this code?
Is it simply just replacing my php with the code
you reccomended or is there more i need to do to make it work?

Hi wlindley

You could setup an array of the various website names and use a loop.

Could you go a bit more indepth on this, i don’t really how this would be done.

Also, letting folks put any arbitrary URL which will look like an official link, is probably a Bad Idea.

The way i’m doing it is the ‘user’ will fill out a form with all the necessary info and i will write it in manually, i have an image
of how my post displays at the moment but i don’t know how to upload it here lol

Never mind i figured it out.
Thanks
