Can someone explain why I should use taxonomies on my site? I dont really understand the benefits of it. I'm new on wordpress and Ive read the codex.. Dont feel the need to over do your answer just a few lines so I can get a small understanding.
Thank you
A taxonomy is a way of grouping/sorting your posts or custom post types. I used them recently on a real estate website, here is what I had:
Wordpress posts are the articles on the blog
I created a "listing" custom type with the same features as posts
My taxonomies are the following (they have categories behaviour):
- Places
- Type: condo, house or commercial
- Wordpress categories are for the blog.
A small example: I build websites for wineries. Some want to have navigation by wine style, e.g. a list of links to products that are "red", "white", "sparkling", "fortified", etc. I could use tags for that, but by creating a custom taxonomy I'm able to give the URLs a slug "style" instead of "tag", hence "example.com/style/red" and "example.com/style/white".
The taxonomies are good for SEO. It is a good way to find the content of your website. Also, you can use links to help your user. Clicking on this linki, he could se a list of content with that taxonomy.

I have custom post type. I want to assign an icon to each category of custom post post type.
I used category and page icons plugin for that. But it is not working with custom post type.Is there any plugin for custom post type category.
The plugin Advanced Custom Fields is capable of that. And it is a very fine plugin, well coded, documented and maintained.
In a fast test in my development install.
Setting the field up:
Result in the custom taxonomy screen

I want to sync my wordpress blog post with blogspot.com blog. at least the post title and the wordpress post link should be displayed on my blog.
Regards,
You can use ifttt.com service.
You can do a trigger 'When a new post on my wp blog' and set the action 'Create a post on blogger'
This recipe will do it: https://ifttt.com/recipes/31738
I will never keep same copy of my content on different blog by considering recent algorithm updates rolled out by Google named (panda and penguin). It is just waste of time and may harm your website too.
Better to post unique article as quality matter a lot as compare to quantity !

I stumbled up on one problem with revisions that I have to use for on website im building in wordpress.
So, it goes something like this. I installed Capability Manager plugin so I was able to make a new role account and set the permissions for that role. After that I installed Revisionary. What I basically did is that I copied Contributor role and removed some things. So new account now can edit only their own post. When the post is edited revisionary (the plugin) enables only "send to a revision" option, so the user cant publish it. The thing is even if the post is new or was already published, every change needs a revision and I managed to do that. After that I installed the plugin called "Manage your posts only". I need that one so a new user who can add new posts is unable to see other posts that he is not author of.
BUT I have a small problem. The revisionary plugin doesnt work with custom post types, fields etc. (Woothemes theme in this particular situation). So only thing that can be changed is a post text and title, everything else below the post, custom fields and so on are ignored by revisionary. I need your help guys and your opinions what would be the best solution for this problem.
i did a little searching around and found this - it seems the original plugin hasn't developed support for custom post types but this exta plugin adds that support

I need to create a magazine publication in Wordpress. One issue contains cover + articles. No comments or anything fancy needed. The cover has the index of articles and each article has a content and a picture and description of the author. The author doesn't need to be a real user, it can be just a block with a picture and a description.
I know how to do this in Drupal, I would create content types with specific fields for each type and prepare the templates accordingly. I would setup menus to reflect hierarchy. To show the authors section below the article I would use custom picture fields and text.
So adding and issue would be as simple as creating a page-cover and page-articles, and setting menus accordingly.
How can I accomplish this in Wordpress?
This is roughly the solution I found:
Create "Article" post type. Add all the necessary fields.
Create a "Cover" post type. Add all the necessary fields.
Create an "issue" taxonomy term. All articles belonging to the same volume will be linked through this term. There's one cover per issue.
Also, install the Co-Author plugin (in case there's more than one author per page).

I'm working on a plugin and I'm using wordpress' custom post type feature. Basically I'm creating a "Featured links" of sorts..so that you can add a link just as you'd add a post. User enters a title, url (custom field) and sets a featured image. The problem is, this creates a blank post for each link added. Using custom post types--is there anyway to set the capability_type to links or blogroll type?
When creating custom post types with register_post_type, If you don't want to allow direct access to the post you could try setting public to false and then set query_var to true or your post type which i believe would allow you to still display the links but not allow direct access to the post. I haven't tested this though. I would have just put this in a comment but I don't have enough reputation. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
Not sure if you must use custom post types.
If you don't. Have you tried post formats?
