I inherited a site from a previous administrator, and I am having trouble with a custom field that he created.
The following code is a snippet of a register_custom_group:
`array (
‘key’ => ‘field_5619e8582fa74’,
‘label’ => ‘Link’,
‘name’ => ‘link’,
‘type’ => ‘page_link’,
‘column_width’ => ”,
‘post_type’ => array (
0 => ‘game’,
),
‘allow_null’ => 1,
‘multiple’ => 0,
),
`
Here is the problem: I need to add a taxonomy parameter (category) to this custom field so that it limits the number of posts that are included in this select. I’ve tried many times, but I do not know how to properly code it.
For example: My post type is ‘game’, and I need to limit it to say a category of ‘baseball’.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Hi @bosoxbill
You need to add the taxonomy option so it looks like this:
'post_type' => array (
0 => 'game',
),
'taxonomy' => array (
0 => 'taxonomy_name:term_name',
),
Where “taxonomy_name” is the name of the taxonomy and “term_name” is the name of the term (baseball).
If you want, you can always create a Page Link field from the backend and export it to PHP code from “Custom Fields > Tools” (PRO version) or “Custom Fields > Export” (Free version). That way you can see the code layout you need to update your code.
I hope this helps 🙂
I can’t thank you enough. You’re a livesaver. That export php code is a handy trick.
