Hmm just figured out another way to hack it –

I went into edit PODS > Advanced > Rewrite > and made it “/”

So now my taxonomy archive /genre/genre/ = /genre/

There must be another way around this. Again, apologize for my lack of knowledge of the back end.

Ok so – the taxonomy archives work as such. I can for example go to /genre/landscapes/ and see all landscape posts.

But What I’m trying to do is create an archive of all the taxonomies within /genre/. The only way I can do that is with the hack I described earlier.

I guess I could also just make those taxonomies CPTs instead huh?

Hi David – I’ll look through the MLA Insert Fixit this evening and see if i can make it happen.

And RE: To be clear, each of the entries you’ve added to the array represent actual taxonomies, and these taxonomies are registered for both Media Library items (post_type “attachments”) and your custom post type?

Yup!

I’ve created custom taxonomies for all my image metadata that is shared between my custom posts types, mainly “Images”, “Collections”, and now “Media” – so I can map everything to “Images”. My Theory is I can create a central archive where I can easily pull in any of those CPTs in, and have “relatable” metadata to create sliders/galleries at will in Elementor.

MY reasoning to have these three taxonomies is follows. (I’m by no means a UX/UI/Coder whatsoever – I’m a photographer and want to build more than just a gallery of images.)

Each “Image” post/page includes it’s meta data, descriptions ect along with other custom fields (Techniques used, what I learned ect). There is also an archive of “Images” that can be sorted and browsed by the custom taxonomies – among other things. You could in theory call each of these term groups “galleries” if you will, but I wanted something more rich than that.

So a Collection as a “post type” that includes a selection of “Images”, with copy/stories/ect. attached talking about the collection like a portfolio. By having shared taxonomies between “Images” and “Collections” I can easily combine different queries of those on a page.

I’m also sharing some custom taxonomies with my “Products” as well, because really.. whats the difference between an “Image” and a a “Product”? They just display different meta (Image info vs product/sale info) to different users. My plan is to combine/share as much as possible as I do basic self fulfillment printing services.

I might be going about it wrong, it’s just how I figured out how to crack the nut… but trust me when I say… the amount I actually know about the back end of what happening is laughable lol. MLA and your help has been a godsend to say the least haha.

Also David – I’m curious if I could piggy back off the plugin I’m using to auto create a post to somehow get those taxonomies to copy over?

It’s called “Bulk Images to Posts” and naturally the author doesn’t maintain it. here is the code:

Also – how do I edit my post ? Can’t find a link anywhere

Ok – so as per the Network Tab, I’m not seeing any ajax errors. I’m in process of contacting my provider now
