I know where the customizer options are stored. Replacing the old theme name with the new one, did not result in all options being used correctly by the renamed theme though. I might have to manually look into the options that do not migrate as expected. Maybe I made a mistake while renaming. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider - Image Slider, Video Slider] Set SRCSET as of WordPress 4.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-srcset-as-of-wordpress-44/) * [monkeybrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeybrain/) * (@monkeybrain) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-srcset-as-of-wordpress-44/#post-6989149) * Any news on this feature?

And thanks for the compliment regarding my English skills. Whenever misunderstandings happen I tend to think it’s because of not being a native English speaker. * 1. Oddly enough, my query above worked even without defining the_post, but it wasn’t dynamic and only worked for the defined term ‘black-and-white’. * 2. First off, I followed your advice and renamed the cpt to `photo` and also renamed the taxonomy to `gallery` … I then tried to find the problem with the normal * ``` ``` * approach. And while trying to find the problem I thought I’d test the custom taxonomy for normal posts and see if that works, and to my surprise it does. So, when I change * ``` register_taxonomy( 'gallery', 'photo', array( ``` * to * ``` register_taxonomy( 'gallery', 'post', array( ``` * the taxonomy-gallery.php template works as expected (using the normal WP posts). When I try to use it for the cpt `photo` it doesn’t. * Now I wonder if the solution could be to tell the taxonomy-gallery.php loop to somehow use the post_type ‘photo’ and not ‘post’. (Even after changing `register_taxonomy(' gallery', 'post',` back to `register_taxonomy( 'gallery', 'photo',` the page still displays the posts. It really seems like it is only looking for posts and not post_type photo at all. * Do you have any ideas on how to get the attention of a mod? * Thanks a lot! I feel like I’m really close to the solution. 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help with the loop (custom post type taxonomy)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-the-loop-custom-post-type-taxonomy/) * Thread Starter [monkeybrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeybrain/) * (@monkeybrain) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-the-loop-custom-post-type-taxonomy/#post-7380938) * Hi TrishaM, * Thanks a lot, but if I understand correctly this is not exactly what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to create multiple photo galleries, each with its own url/page. * I actually have an archive-photos.php with a query very similar to your code, except the ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, … this page will be used as an overview of all terms/galleries, from there I link to < a href=”/photo-gallery/slug; ?>/” on the most recent photo thumbnail within that term. This terms/galleries overview will be found under /photos/ (Because there the user finds all photos is why I called the CTP photos and not photo, your reasoning makes sense though) * What I’m now trying to do is a template file that lists the photos from within ONE term, so if I understand correctly, no foreach($terms as $term). It should work like /tag/black-and-white/ or /category/black-and-white/ works for normal WordPress posts. * What confuses me is that the normal tag.php or category.php of WordPress uses a simple * ``` // Content like etc... No posts to display ``` * but if I use this for my custom taxonomy and browse to /photo-gallery/black-and- white/, it returns “No posts to display”. * And with my code * ``` 'photos', 'photo-gallery' => 'black-and-white', ) ); ?> ``` * the taxonomy-photo-gallery.php returns all photos within the term ‘black-and- white’. That’s why I thought if I could replace that line with something that grabs the term name from the URL, it would work for all terms (/photo-gallery/ black-and-white/ aswell as /photo-gallery/portrait/ and all other terms/galleries.) * Any ideas on how to solve that? And sorry if my explanation is not clear, English is not my first language. * Thanks so much for your help! * edit: This is the code I use to create the custom taxonomy, maybe there is something wrong with it? * ``` function build_photo_taxonomies() { register_taxonomy( 'photo-gallery', 'photos', array( 'label' => 'Gallery', 'public' => true, 'hierarchical' => true, 'query_var' => true ) ); } ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help with the loop (custom post type taxonomy)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-the-loop-custom-post-type-taxonomy/) * Thread Starter [monkeybrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeybrain/) * (@monkeybrain) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-the-loop-custom-post-type-taxonomy/#post-7380900) * Hi TrishaM * Thanks for your reply! * 1. Sorry about that, makes sense, thanks. * 2. I have a custom post type named ‘photos’ which has a custom taxonomy called‘ photo-gallery’. For each taxonomy term (e.g. ‘black and white’, ‘portrait’, etc…) I’d like to have an overview which lists all photos that are within that term. * So, what I’m trying to do is list all photos that are tagged with ‘black-and- white’ but also not hardcode the name of the tag, so that the template file works with all future tags/terms. I first thought that I could use * ``` ``` * because I thought taxonomy-photo-gallery.php is associated with all the terms that I create within the taxonomy ‘photo-gallery’, but that does not seem to work as expected. So I tried and looked around on how to return the photos for one term and then go from there and adapt it for all other terms. * If you see my mistake in code or thinking, any help would be greatly appreciated. * Thanks! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to change the size of the H2 tag](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-the-size-of-the-h2-tag/) * [monkeybrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeybrain/) * (@monkeybrain) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-the-size-of-the-h2-tag/#post-7381252) * And if your theme offers user-added CSS or you installed a CSS plugin, the CSS to change the font size looks like this: * ``` h2 { font-size: 20px; } ``` * And change the `20px` until you like its size. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help with the loop (custom post type taxonomy)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-the-loop-custom-post-type-taxonomy/) * Thread Starter [monkeybrain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeybrain/) * (@monkeybrain) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-the-loop-custom-post-type-taxonomy/#post-7380896) * I still haven’t found a solution for this.
