Meta data (Tags and Categories) for Custom Posts not showing.

Question

I registered a custom post type ("movie") with tags and categories. Now, I'm able to filter and search for the custom post with these tags and categories, so I know they're present and working, but they're not showing up on the custom posts.

This is the code for the meta data to show up.

<?php
if( !myThemes::get( 'show-bottom-meta' ) ){
return;
}
if( is_singular( 'post' ) && ( has_category( ) || has_tag() ) ){
?>
<div class="post-meta-terms">
<?php

if( is_singular( 'post' ) && has_category( ) ){
echo '<div class="post-meta-categories">';
echo '<strong><i class="icon-list"></i> ' . __( 'Categories' , 'myThemes' ) . '</strong>: ';
the_category( ' ' );
echo '</div>';
}

if( is_singular( 'post' ) && has_tag() ){
echo '<div class="post-meta-tags">';
echo '<strong><i class="icon-tags"></i> ' . __( 'Post Tags' , 'myThemes' ) . '</strong>: ';
the_tags( ' ' , ' ' , ' ' );
echo '</div>';
}
?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

This has only "post" so I added "movies" to make it show the meta data for movies as well, like this:

<?php
    if( !myThemes::get( 'show-bottom-meta' ) ){
        return;
    }
    if( is_singular( 'post', 'movie' ) && ( has_category( ) || has_tag() ) ){
?>
        <div class="post-meta-terms">
            <?php

                if( is_singular( 'post', 'movie' ) && has_category( ) ){
                    echo '<div class="post-meta-categories">';
                    echo '<strong><i class="icon-list"></i> ' . __( 'Categories' , 'myThemes' ) . '</strong>: ';
                    the_category( ' ' );
                    echo '</div>';
                }

                if( is_singular( 'post', 'movie' ) && has_tag() ){
                    echo '<div class="post-meta-tags">';
                    echo '<strong><i class="icon-tags"></i> ' . __( 'Post Tags' , 'myThemes' ) . '</strong>: ';
                    the_tags( ' ' , ' ' , ' ' );
                    echo '</div>';
                }
            ?>
        </div>
<?php
    }
?>

But it isn't working. I checked this post (link) but it looks like they follow the same logic, so I'm not sure what's wrong here.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Your argument for is_singular() is wrong

It should be an array

is_singular(array('post','movie'))

You can read more about the argument passed from this link here

Answer 2

The problem is in second side of condition

... && ( has_category( ) || has_tag() ) { ...

try change with

... && has_term( null , 'collections' , $post -> ID ) ){ ...

where "collections" is slug name for registered custom terms ( custom tags and categories )

also I want recommend you to use other slug name for custom tags and categories for your custom posts eg: movie-tags, movie-categories
