Hiya,

Is it possible, in the Admin, to display fields ONLY on custom posts within a specific custom taxonomy term? I’d like to simplify things as much as possible for the client so that they’re not seeing fields that aren’t relevant to the post.

Thanks so much

You can by setting up a Custom Field Group and then for that group set it so the Rules are as follows:

Post Taxonomy, Is Equal to, Then choose your custom taxonomy from the drop down.

If your custom taxonomy doesn’t show in the list, then It could be that the Custom taxonomy isn’t public, or isn’t searchable.

Try changing these options and see if it shows in the list.

Let me know if this helps

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your response. I got that far already, my custom taxonomy (‘type of film’) shows up fine in the dropdown list but what i’m trying to do is limit the field group to one specific term (‘feature length’) within the taxonomy. Is that possible?

Thanks again
