Tags/Categories not working?

[ashleighkMember]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I can't figure out why my tags/categories don't link to anything on https://wamcpodcasts.org/. It seems to only happen with the Digital Pro theme. Is there a fix anyone knows about?

Where are you trying to link categories and tags from? I do not see them on your posts or sidebar to even test. Maybe I am misreading your question, but would love to help if I can.

Sorry for not being clear! When you click on tags, usually you get a page of other posts that use the same tag. That does not happen at the site I mention above. when you click on a tag on a podcast, you don't get a group of episodes that relate to that tag. I hope that is clearer, and I appreciate your help.

I understand what you're saying but where are you clicking on "tags"? I don't see tags listed in the meta data of the podcast episodes or on the sidebar or elsewhere (thus I am not seeing a place to click and see if the link you are referring to works or not).

Sorry. I turned off the tags. They are back on. The same thing happens with the categories (podcast series).

That is odd. I would recommend checking out how you set the slugs for tags, any changes to metadata. I wish I had more suggestions... if it were my theme I would root around a bit in the code of the templates and call to the tags.

For kicks - if you switch to a default theme (like Twenty-Seventeen) for a moment, do the tags work then? It'll help you narrow it down to something on your setup vs something Genesis vs something your child theme.

I just went on your site and clicked on your tags and they are all linking to a tag search results page. Make sure to save permalinks.

It also looks like you are using a custom post type for your podcasts. By default, custom post types are excluded in WordPress queries. You have to add them yourself through code. This snippet may help: https://victorfont.com/add-pages-cpts-wordpress-query/

Thanks I will try those suggestions!

I tried the code, replacing portfolio with "podcast" but it still won't work. I'll try to look around more. Thanks!

shoudn't this work?
//* Use blog categories with podcast episodes
add_action( 'init', 'ssp_add_categories_to_podcast' );
function ssp_add_categories_to_podcast () {
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'podcast' );
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'ssp_add_podcast_to_category_archives' );
function ssp_add_podcast_to_category_archives( $query ){

if( is_admin() ) {
return;
}

if( $query->is_tax('category') ) {
$query->set('post_type', array( 'post', 'podcast' ) );
}

}
