Display and register custom categories for custom post types
Ok here we go. I have 2 different custom post types. The first is called 'portfolio', the second one 'games'.
All the game reviews I write are 'games' posts. To have a better overview I created custom categories like reviews, playstation xbox etc. Unfortunately everytime I would like to display the posts of one categorie (http://www.zock-around-the-clock.com/games_category/testcategory) I just get an 404 Error Page.
I dont really use the 'portfolio' posts but with them the arrengement into categories would work just perfectly. (http://www.zock-around-the-clock.com/portfolio-view/testcategory).
I would like to ask you what is the difference between these two types and why is it working with the portfolio posts but not with the games posts.
I also tried adding normal categories into the games posts by adding 'taxonomies' = array('category'),
but unfortunately it is still not possible to display the games posts of a single category.
Here's the single-portfolio.php
?php get_header(); ?
?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?
?php
$custom = get_post_custom($post-ID);
$lightbox = $custom["lightbox-url"][0];
?
div id="post-?php the_ID(); ?" ?php post_class('post'); ?
article class="single-post"
header
h1 class="entry-title"?php the_title(); ?/h1
/header
div class="post-content wrapper"
?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
echo 'div class="featured-thumbnail no-hover"div class="img-wrap"'; the_post_thumbnail(''); echo '/div/div';
}
?
?php the_content(); ?
?php wp_link_pages('before=div class="pagination"after=/div'); ?
/div!--.post-content--
/article
/div!-- #post-## --
?php comments_template( '', true ); ?
and the init. for the portfolio posts:
function my_post_type_portfolio() {
register_post_type( 'portfolio',
array(
'label' = __('Portfolio'),
'singular_label' = __('Porfolio Item', 'theme1575'),
'_builtin' = false,
'public' = true,
'show_ui' = true,
'show_in_nav_menus' = true,
'hierarchical' = true,
'capability_type' = 'page',
'menu_icon' = get_template_directory_uri() . '/includes/images/icon_portfolio.png',
'rewrite' = array(
'slug' = 'portfolio-view',
'with_front' = FALSE,
),
'supports' = array(
'title',
'editor',
'thumbnail',
'excerpt',
'custom-fields',
'comments')
)
);
register_taxonomy('portfolio_category', 'portfolio', array('hierarchical' = true, 'label' = 'Portfolio Categories', 'singular_name' = 'Category', "rewrite" = true, "query_var" = true));}add_action('init', 'my_post_type_portfolio');
Here's the single-games.php
?php get_header(); ?div id="content" class="grid_8 ?php if (of_get_option('blog_sidebar_pos') == "right" ) {echo "alpha";} else {echo "omega";} ? ?php echo of_get_option('blog_sidebar_pos') ?"
?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?
div id="post-?php the_ID(); ?" ?php post_class('post'); ?

?php if ($post_meta=='true' || $post_meta=='') { ?

/div!--.post-meta--
?php } ?
/div
div class="post-content wrapper"
?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) {

?
?php the_content(); ??php wp_link_pages('before=div class="pagination"after=/div'); ?
/div!--.post-content--
/article
?php /* If a user fills out their bio info, it's included here */ ?
div id="post-author"
h3?php _e('Written by', 'theme1575'); ? ?php the_author_posts_link() ?/h3
p class="gravatar"?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '80' ); /* This avatar is the user's gravatar (http://gravatar.com) based on their administrative email address */ } ?/p
div id="author-description"
?php the_author_meta('description') ?
div id="author-link"
p?php _e('View all posts by:', 'theme1575'); ? ?php the_author_posts_link() ?/p
/div!--#author-link--
/div!--#author-description --
/div!--#post-author--
/div!-- #post-## --
nav class="oldernewer"
div class="older"
?php previous_post_link('%link', __('laquo; Previous post', 'theme1575')) ?
/div!--.older--
div class="newer"
?php next_post_link('%link', __('Next Post raquo;', 'theme1575')) ?
/div!--.newer--
/nav!--.oldernewer--
and the init. for the games posts:
function my_post_type_games() {
register_post_type( 'games',
array(
'label' = __('Games'),
'taxonomies' = array('category'),
'public' = true,
