I'm looking for help with a problem I've run into and can't seem to workout myself. I have created my own custom taxonomy called series (code below). I am calling the custom taxonomy posts in a widget using a plugin called "Flexible Posts Widget" (screenshot for widget below and code for plugin below).
This works fine and it calls the posts. But I want to create a "View All" link that goes to whatever "Series" (my custom taxonomy) that is being called within the widget. I tried the permalink but it goes to the last post being called and not to a page that lists all the posts under the taxonomy currently being called in that widget. I'm looking for a way to link to that page and make it dynamic as the custom taxonomy "Series" will change depending which series is being called in the widget.
Guidance is greatly appreciated - I will be very responsive!
functions.php / Where I register the taxonomy
function create_series_hierarchical_taxonomy() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'series', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'series', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'search_items' => __( 'search series' ),
'all_items' => __( 'all series' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'parent series' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'parent series:' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'edit series' ),
'update_item' => __( 'update series' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'add new series' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'new series name' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'series' ),
);
$args = array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'series' ),
'show_in_rest' => true,
);
register_taxonomy('series', array('post'), $args );
}
The Flexible Posts Widget Code Template I edited to call my posts
// Block direct requests
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
die('-1');
echo $before_widget;
if ( !empty($title) )
echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
if( $flexible_posts->have_posts() ):
?>
<div>
<?php
// This sets out a variable called $term - we'll use it ALOT for what we're about to do.
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>
<?php while( $flexible_posts->have_posts() ) : $flexible_posts->the_post(); global $post; ?>
<h2><?php echo $term->name; ?></h2><!-- Prints the term name as set in the Widget -->
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><p><?php the_title();?></p></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">View All</a> <!-- This doesn't link to the current "Series" taxonomy page like I want it to -->
<?php else: // No Posts ?>
<div class="dpe-flexible-posts no-posts">
<p><?php _e( 'Empty', 'flexible-posts-widget' ); ?></p>
</div>
<?php
endif; // End have_posts()
echo $after_widget;
