I’m completely starting over with a wordpress project that began a couple of weeks ago, and basically i’m totally discovering wordpress, so please bare with me.
I might be completely misunderstanding what has been coded until now, but I’ve been asked to generate a menu based on the “cutom-post-types” and their respective categories.
When using the
<?php wp_nav_menu(); ?>
hook, I thought it would be enough.
BUT:
when editing the menu and it’s content in the menu admin section it seems that I cannot have each category of a custom post-type to be listed UNDER each custom-post-type.
All I can do is select each category, like so :
Beauty
Campaigns
…
shops
…
Wich leads to this on the public site :
Beauty
Campaigns
…
Shops
…
My only wisgh is to be able to avoid hacking wordpress as much as possible, while finally having :
News
Beauty
Cmpaigns
…
Trends
shops
…
in both the menu admin and the final public menu.
What did I miss ? Thanks a lot.
Your best bet if you want them to show using the default drag and drop function is to register a custom taxonomy for the custom post type, http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy.
You can also use the
taxonomiesparameter when you register your CPT function.http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
The alternative is to make a custom filter for your nav menu that is populated from your custom post type, though in most cases I recommend the first option.
My workaround for this was to just use custom links that linked to example.com/post-type-slug…it’s not the best solution, but it works.
