Custom Taxonomy Archive

[mmjaeger]

Hello
I've a custom page and I like to show all pictures on that page with a certain tag - the taxonomies are called keys .

I've put the following code into the template file:`add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'nv_pre_get_posts' );
function nv_pre_get_posts( $query ) {

$query->set( 'post_type', 'attachment' );
$query->set( 'post_status', 'publish' );
$query->set( 'post_parent', null );
$query->set( 'mime_type', 'image' );
$query->set( 'orderby', 'date' );
$query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );

$tax_query =
array(array(
'taxonomy' => 'keys',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => get_query_var( 'key' )

));

$query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );

return $query;
}
`

however, I only getting: Sorry, no content matched your criteria.

what am I missing

I also tried a custom loop but I could NOT get the pagination to work - always got a 404 - the first page worked just fine.

are there any examples out there how to set up a page that would show me all the attachment with a certain tag?

Thanks

Have you tried using the taxonomy template as defined by the WordPress template Hierarchy?

Also, is what you defined "key" or "keys"? That would make a difference... and now I'm also wondering if that would cause a namespace clash or not...

Depending on which name your term is, you'd create a template file (say taxonomy-keys.php), and in it you'd have something like this:

remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');
add_action('genesis_loop', 'child_main_loop');
function child_main_loop() {
    global $paged;
    $term = get_queried_object();
    $args = array('post_type' => 'attachment', 'taxonomy' => $term->taxonomy, 'term' => $term->slug, 'order' => 'asc', 'paged' => $paged);
    genesis_custom_loop( $args );
}

followed by the genesis(); call to finish things off nicely... that's the general gist of it. You could add an "orderby" in there to get whichever sort you want.

Thank you for replying - seem to work for the first page - however the pagination does not work - it shows up at the bottom of the page but click on e.g. page 2 leads to a 404 - any idea how to fix this?

thanks again.

I got one issue when putting the following code onto my page:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'nv_pre_get_posts' );
function nv_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
		
	global $paged;
	
	$term = get_queried_object();
	
    $query->set( 'post_type', 'attachment' );
    $query->set( 'post_status', 'all' );
    $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 16 );
    $query->set( 'orderby', 'date' );
    $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
    $query->set( 'taxonomy', $term->taxonomy );
    $query->set( 'term', $term->slug );
    $query->set( 'paged', $paged );
        
    return $query;
    
}

for some reasons, the main navigation disappears - any idea why?

Thanks

I'm using that same code on a site and pagination works just fine. What other code do you have in your template?

I'm also not sure what you're saying... are you using the pre_get_posts function and the child loop function together?

Summer, thanks for your code. I used the child loop function as it is, but page 2 of the archive returns a 404. Same problem as mmjaeger.

//* adds custom loop for the specific taxonomy
remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');
add_action('genesis_loop', 'child_main_loop');
function child_main_loop() {
    global $paged;
    $term = get_queried_object();
    $args = array('post_type' => 'resources', 'taxonomy' => $term->taxonomy, 'term' => $term->slug, 'order' => 'asc', 'paged' => $paged);
    genesis_custom_loop( $args );
}

//* The blog page loop logic is located in lib/structure/loops.php
genesis();

Page 1 works great, but succeeding pages are 404s.

the following coded fixed it for me:

/**
	 * Pagination: fix pagination issue with custom taxonomy archive page
	 */
	add_action( 'parse_query', 'mm_parse_query' );
	function mm_parse_query() {
		
		if ( ! is_tax( 'media_tag' ) )
			return;
		
	    global $wp_query;
	        
	    $wp_query->query_vars[ 'post_type' ]   		= array( 'resources' );
	    $wp_query->query_vars[ 'post_status' ] 		= array( 'all' );
	    $wp_query->query_vars[ 'posts_per_page' ]	= 16;
	
	}

you need to adjust the code to your settings e.g. the taxonomy name
