Hi

Created a custom post called "exhibition" and there is an option to added tags for each custom post. Now we have designed a page where will display lists of custom posts using a tag. We have created two views and embedded the views. But this is not working. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Dear Claudius,

This is like this by default on wordpress. The archive loops for a category or tag will show only blog entries (posts) and not custom posts. A way to work around it is to add these lines to functions.php in your theme:

add_filter('parse_query', 'tags_for_all');
function tags_for_all($wp_query) {
 if (is_tag()) {
   $wp_query->set('post_type', array('exhibition'));
 }
 return $wp_query;
}

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can assist you with.

Regards.

Dear Caridad,

Using the wordpress in-built function we have already integrated this. But we have used a plugin called "Views" through which we wants to integrate.

Thanks.

Dear Claudius,

Another solution is not to use Post Tags. Instead create a custom taxonomy called Exhibition Tags and use that. You will see things start working after doing this.

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can assist you with.
