Title: [Plugin: Multisite Language Switcher] Custom Post Types Linking Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Multisite Language Switcher] Custom Post Types Linking * Resolved [nmask](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmask/) * (@nmask) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/) * Hi, * Thanks for suck a great plugin! Its really smart idea to avoid using some multilingual plugins that will conflict with other one and use originally build in wordpress multisite system. Based on it multilingual site is more clear and bug free!!! I wounder, when this feature will appear to link custom post types and their categories. * Thanks, Aleksandr * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * [emer77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emer77/) * (@emer77) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2316925) * I will be waiting for this too: support for custom post types. * thanks! * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2316945) * This feature will be in the next version. * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2316992) * The new version (0.9) supports custom post types. * Have fun! * [Alexandre Simard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brocheafoin/) * (@brocheafoin) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317008) * Thanks for a great plugin. It solves a lot of headaches for me. * Now that custom post types are supported (works great as far as I can see), the only missing feature is support for custom taxonomies. Right now the extra column is added, but the flag icons link to a post edit page instead of a tag/category edit page. * Is this planned for the next release? * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317009) * Yes, it’s almost done and I’ll commit the next version (0.9.2) in a few days. * [Alexandre Simard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brocheafoin/) * (@brocheafoin) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317010) * Great! Thank you very much. * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317014) * The Version 0.9.2 is now available. Support for custom taxonomies is included. * Cheers, Dennis. * [Alexandre Simard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brocheafoin/) * (@brocheafoin) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317017) * Great stuff! Seems to work well. Now comes the hard part for you: resist the temptation to add more features. 🙂 * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317018) * Yes, you’re right. 😉 The rest is more “under the hood” stuff … * [kalligator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kalligator/) * (@kalligator) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317047) * Let me grab the chance to thank you as well, this is a really useful plugin. Regarding CPTs, is there a way to link them on a parent level similarly to post categories linking? I’m not referring to taxonomies (lets say ‘actors’) but at the CPTs’ base (‘movies’). * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317048) * I’m not sure if I understand the problem but you can link CPT or Custom Taxonomies together as well. * [kalligator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kalligator/) * (@kalligator) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317051) * Well, at the moment you can link individual CPT posts for example lets say we have a specific movie called “Immortals”, linking from one language to another is no problem. You can also link their taxonomies (e.g. actors, director etc) so when one is overlooking the actors archive they get transfered from one language to another – again no problem. * But, _if am not mistaken_, I don’t see a way to link their base (e.g. movies). So that when one is overlooking the movies archive, the language switch would transfer the visitor on the movies archive of the other language(s). * The assumption being that the word “movies” was used as the `$post_type` parameter in the `register_post_type( $post_type, $args )` function. * I hope I was clearer this time! Thanks again. * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multisite-language-switcher-custom-post-types-linking/#post-2317052) * Ok, I got it. You’re right. In this case there is no way to link the custom taxonomy“ movies”. On the other hand you can not link the buildin taxonomy “category” directly together.
