My problem is the following.

I have a custom post type called "photography" which contains a taxonomy called "photographyCategories", which contains several terms : "outside", "inside", "portrait"...

All these terms content is based on the same outline (a list of pictures and a slider).

I know that if I want to display the archive page of one of these terms I have to create, for example, the file taxonomy-photographyCategories-outside.php. I've done it and it works.

But what I want is ONE template for all these terms. I don't wanna have an "outside" template, an "inside" template and a "portrait" template because they're all the same... They display the same type of content, except the photographies that are different.

I can't find a way to do this...

Is there a solution ?

According to template hierarchy you have to create the template

taxonomy-photographyCategories.php

  • That's what I've done. But this is the template page for my taxonomy "photographyCategories" which displays a list of all the terms.

  • Why would I rename it ? I want to keep this page, and I wanna create another one which would be a term template. But may be the solution is very simple like... Setting a variable in the URL ?

  • I think you gave me an beginning of solution. When I click on portrait on my taxonomy archive page taxonomy-photographyCategories.php, it redirects me to this link : wordpress/photographieCategories/portraits/. So as you said, if the portraits template exists, it's used. But can I create a "common" template like photographieTerms.php which would be used ? And within this template I would get a variable in the URL (imagine photographieTerms.php?term=portrait) to know what term has been clicked ?

  • Please post in the question the code you have in taxonomy-photographyCategories.php and the code you have in one term template because the "common" template you are looking for normally is just taxonomy-photographyCategories.php: when you visit wordpress/photographieCategories/portraits/ that file is used if it exists and if taxonomy-photographyCategories-portraits.php doesn't exists. So, remove the file taxonomy-photographyCategories-portraits.php and use some conditional in taxonomy-photographyCategories.php to appear differently if you are vising a term or not. @Valentin
