I am using the WordLift plugin for WordPress. I have created a custom taxonomy and I'd like to make it become a Wordlift entity. Is there a way to achieve it?
I've seen this answer for custom post types.
Custom post types support in WordLift
I am currently working on an autocomplete select to use in the taxonomy terms edit screen that would allow you to select an entity from the Vocabulary, thus mapping a taxonomy term to an entity.
Initially I will use this to generate a JSON-LD for the taxonomy term and to provide extensible semantic tagging of posts (e.g. for a LodgingBusiness entity type which has an amenityFeature mapped to the taxonomy term, this would allow me to bind the amenityFeature to well-known knowledge graphs such as DBpedia and Wikidata).
In a later stage the entity page could extend the taxonomy term page and provide automatic suggestion for taxonomy terms when the entity is discovered in texts.
What is your aim exactly, it's would be useful to shape the next releases.

I am looking for the most efficient way to create two separate custom post types called "venues" and "offers". The role of such would be to display on a website it in the following way:
VENUE_1
offer A
offer B
etc
VENUE_2
offer C
As you see, the venues will be quite static, once added photos and descriptions will remain the same. The most dynamic thing are offers. They will vary from each other. I know I can handle that through ACF repeater in a single CPT but I don't want to use this solution due to a few technical requirements.
Is there any way that Wordpress (or Wordpress +ACF) will allow to do that? From the flow pov it will look like that:
an editor adds venue, with descriptions, photos etc through venue CPT
along the time an editor adds specific offers through offers CPT, selecting via e.g. dropdown to which venue it is connected
I have never used relationship fields in ACF but afaik while selecting I need to do it fully manually and select very specific offer. And as said, I want to handle later on only offers, avoiding situation when constantly I need to add manually those via venue item.
You're probably over complicating things.
You should approach it from a taxonomy point of view, meaning,
venue as a taxonomy, offer as a custom post type.
You can use taxonomy-<my-taxonomy>.php to create a specific template for your custom taxonomy. eg: taxonomy-venue.php.
You will be able to access your venue through the following permalink example.com/venue/my-awsome-venue
On each venue taxonomy pages you will a custom query to loop through each offer which are listed under the currently queried venue.
You should read Template Hierarchy from the codex, to have a better understanding of templating.
I currently have a custom taxonomy select field called "Location" and another custom taxonomy called "Company". What I would want to do is to hide/show the Company check-boxes based on the chosen Location in the select box. This is for the back-end.
The Person custom post type is associated with a Company and each Company is associated with a Location taxonomy. Advanced Custom Fields conditional logic does not extend to taxonomy fields and if anybody knows a way to go around this limitation that would be super awesome.
I am looking for taxonomy-related conditional logic as well and I found a post on the ACF support forums (http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/conditional-logic-using-taxonomy-field/) that shows many other people looking for this as well. However, there was no solution or answer in this post (most recent post asking for help being 6/7/16). Perhaps it will be solved in the future given the many requests, but no answers there at present.
Seems that the best option for now is to use jQuery on the backend.
I created two vocabularies taxonomy: products and gallery. Created two different views of these terms. Includes standard representation "Taxonomy term" and now on the product page of the node are displayed in a gallery - no! What could it be?
I found that using the Taxonomy Views Integrator module (https://www.drupal.org/project/tvi) provided me with great flexibility and control. Basically it allows selective overriding of taxonomy terms and/or vocabulary with the view of your choice.
Here's a link on how to implement it.
Hope it helps.
Is there a way (or a plugin) to make a given content type in WordPress (i.e. posts, pages, media, custom post types) act as a taxonomy? I basically want to setup a one-to-many relationship of one item in a given post type to many items of a different type.
So basically, I have a custom post type, call it Authors. I want to use a Post Type rather than a taxonomy because I need a lot more meta data than a taxonomy allows.
I then have another custom post type called Books.
Is there a way to put a box similar to the Categories or Tags metaboxes on the Author write page that display a list of all the books. I can then choose from a list of all the books, thus creating a relationship.
If this doesn't already exist, I guess I'll write a plugin for it. I thought I'd give this a try first, just in case.
Have you considered adding new meta fields to a custom taxonomy? Unfortunately, you ned to either create a new table for the meta storage or use wp_options, but it does work and is relatively future-friendly. Remember to start your option names with an underscore, though.

I'm thinking about using WP custom post types to create a basic real estate website.
The post type will be for property listings. I've decided to have one post type for For Sale and one for Rentals, simple because they have somewhat different property information.
A typical listing will need to specify some information, ie, is it a house, an apartment or maybe it's just a piece of land.
What are the pros and cons of specifying this info using custom fields (meta data) versus using taxonomy (categories and tags)?
I can see that it's easy to search based on taxonomy, but custom post types meta data can also be queried.
Also, it seems that this question applies to any post data where discrete choices are required: meta data checkbox, select or taxonomy.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
My preference for what you're trying to do would be taxonomy for the following reasons:
SEO and User Friendly URLs
With categories and tags, WordPress permalinks are setup to put that information in the URL for you. This will go a long way towards the SEO and usability of your site because you'll be able to create URLs like:
http://yoursite.com/rentals
http://yoursite.com/for-sale/two-bedroom/123-fake-street
Hierarchy
I don't know if you have the need for it, but building a hierarchy with categories is easy. This will give you lots of flexibility when it comes to organizing your posts.
Theme Coding
As you said, it's possible to perform custom queries for meta data, but WordPress has many out-of-the-box functions to query and display based on tags and categories. This will mean that you'll have to write less code to get your theme to do what you want.
I've done exactly what you are talking about, both ways (using Custom Fields versus Categories). My view is you should use a mix - use Categories for the most important information (eg For Sale, Type of Property etc) and use Custom Fields for the actual data for the listing.
Wordpress then has many built in functions to organise that data in a really intuitive way, and allows you to easily group properties of the same type together, in exactly the way a user wants to browse the data.
