I'm fairly new to WordPress and using the ACF plugin for the first time. I've created a custom post type with custom fields, two of which are of type taxonomy that are tied to custom taxonomies I set up specifically for this post type. That all works great, but I'd like for the custom taxonomies to only show on the post form and not in the right sidebar since that's redundant and confusing for the editors:
Is there anyway to hide them in the sidebar? I already checked categories and tags under the "hide on screen" option for the custom field group, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
Thank you!
add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'wpdocs_remove_post_custom_fields' );
function wpdocs_remove_post_custom_fields() {
remove_meta_box( 'META_BOX_ID' , 'CUSTOM_POST_TYPE' , 'normal' );
}
add in your active themes file -> functions.php
Following parameters:
META_BOX_ID: https://prnt.sc/3TLMZCHCak17
CUSTOM_POST_TYPE: add you custom post type

I have a custom post type called produce set up in WordPress and a custom taxonomy called produce_category.
The URL format for posts in this custom post type is in this format http://mywebsite/produce/%produce_category%/%postname%/. Of course %produce_category% and %postname% get substituted accordingly, a working example url would be http://mywebsite/produce/fruits-and-vegetables/avocado.
What I would like to do is show the produce_category custom taxonomy archive if a user visits http://mywebsite/produce/%produce_category%, without specifying post name at the end, e.g http://mywebsite/produce/fruits-and-vegetables to show all produce in fruits-and-vegetables produce_category.
Besides that when a user visits http://mywebsite/produce/ I would like to show all the produce archive. EDIT: I have this working now.
I know how to create the archive pages totally fine and have no problem with that. I am stuck at creating permalinks. When I visit http://mywebsite/produce/%produce_category% I get a 404 error.
I'm looking for advise on the best way to implement this. Currently I am using Custom Post Type Permalinks and CPTUI.
The CPTUI custom taxonomy settings interface does not allow me to have a blank in the custom rewrite slug. It defaults to the custom taxonomy slug, produce_category, when I don't fill in anything.
This gives the front-side produce_category taxonomy archive url as http://mywebsite/produce/produce_category/%produce_category%/ e.g. http://mywebsite/produce/produce_category/fish-and-seafood/ when what I want for the archive is http://mywebsite/produce/fish-and-seafood/.
Please help with suggestion on the best way I can achieve the custom taxonomy url.
Thank you all.
Try this code. It will help you to achieve your url structure... Make sure you update permalinks after saving it to functions.php
function custom_produce_category_link( $link, $term, $taxonomy )
{
if ( $taxonomy !== 'produce_category' )
return $link;
return str_replace( 'produce_category/', '', $link );
}
add_filter( 'term_link', 'custom_produce_category_link', 10, 3 );
I want to remove all the metaboxes added by unrelated plugins to my custom post type, is this possible ?
I know I can use the function remove_meta_box(), but then I'll just remove the ones I currently have, but if any other plugin adds a metabox later on I'll have to manually remove it.
Here is sample code to do that. In my case I have found my metabox id,priority and position.
Plugin have added this metabox 'my-meta-box-id' to post type foo.
Here is the code to remove metabox
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'remove_plugins_meta_boxes');
function remove_plugins_meta_boxes(){
global $wp_meta_boxes;
unset($wp_meta_boxes['foo']['normal']['high']['my-meta-box-id']);
}
By this way you can remove your meta box.
I have a site where I need to add a post type that has all of the exact same features as a normal PAGE in Wordpress but is a post type of "AGENT".
I thought the easiest way to do this would have been to create a normal page with a specific category that I could reference elsewhere in the code...but I know categories are not available on pages.
Is the best way to do this with a custom post type, or is there an easier method?
Thanks!
Well, we can add categories to pages.
add_action( 'init', 'wpse34528_add_page_cats' );
function wpse34528_add_page_cats()
{
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'page' );
}
Or you can create a Custom Taxonomy and assign it to Pages.
Or create the Custom Post Type and configure it as you wish.
The Wordpress site I'm working on has a section for "News" (which is the regular blog/posts) which will be used for any news the company has to write about. Then I have a custom post type for Promotions, which has it's own page.
I want the client to be able to add his promotion content through the custom post type, which is going on the Promotions page, however I'd like this content to also be "cross posted" into the blog/news without forcing the client to write it up twice.
Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
Just a note: The reason I have the promotions as a custom type on it's own instead of just having them do it all from the blog is because I needed custom fields that would be unnecessary for any other kind of blog post.
Two options:
1) Use the Shortcode API
And in your cross-post you'd add the shortcode [crosspost id="POST-ID"]. Where POST-ID corresponds to the numeric ID of the other post (post type). Instead of ID, the title could be used, see the function get_page_by_title.
Create your own plugin for this. Add a sample shortcode from the Codex and use the function get_post to get the contents of the cross-post.
2) Use Advanced Custom Fields plugin
With it, adding meta boxes with custom fields is a breeze. And it has a Post Object field that's basically a Cross Post functionality.
You could do it a lot more simply by adding a filter to wp_insert_data(). For example, in your theme's functions.php file add the following:
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'post_to_other', 99, 2);
That filter will then run anytime you add a new post. In the function post_to_other(), you look to see what type of post is being submitted. If it's a promotion, then insert a second copy as a News item.
function post_to_other($post_id, $post){
/** check $post to see what type it is, if it's a promotion */
if($post->post_type == 'promotion'){
$second_post = array(
'post_type'=> 'post',
'post_title'=> $post->post_title,
'post_name' =>$post->post_name,
'post_content'=> $post->post_content,
'post_author'=> $post->post_author,
'post_status'=> 'publish',
'tax_input'=> array('taxonomy_name'=>array('news'))
);
wp_insert_post($second_post);
}
}
I'm running out the door so I don't have time to double check the exact code but that's the basic structure of it. The tax_input bit is optional, lets you specify a category if you want. You'll probably need to tweak it a bit but that's the basics.
I have created a custom post type in wordpress called videos. When the admin adds a video he also needs to provide a youtube-id. This can be done by selecting the appropriate custom field from the drop-down list and then entering the ID.
I was wondering though, isn't there a way to always display that custom field when you are adding or editing a video? (And optionally, could you even make it a required field?)
You could use the More Fields or Custom Post Type UI plugins to create the youtube-id field for your video posts.
Youtube Post Type also requires a youtube url before creating a custom post type draft.
Create a Meta Fields for youtube video url
By using
add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $post_type, $context, $priority, $callback_args );
Example
I'll just answer my own question after 8 years :)
For people who live on another planet: just use the ACF plugin
