Salon Service / Category Permalink

Resolved wisebro

Hi how do I get the permalinks for the services and categories to display a description in my theme.

For example the category permalink (a tag) opens a blank posts page and the description doesn’t show.

https://www.examplewebsite.com/servicecategory/example-service-category/

and the service page doesn’t show anything and just show the home page

https://www.examplewebsite.com/?sln_service=example-service

I would like to be able to add a page with description for the service/category. This would be a useful feature and also good for SEO.

Hi,

you need to create the archive page and the single page for the custom post type and taxonomy used by our plugin.

Hi thanks for your help! This worked. For anyone else here’s the code: (add to funcitons.php) create single-sln_service.php if you wish.


function custom_post_type()
{
    register_post_type('sln_service',
                       array(
                           'labels'      => array(
                               'name'          => __('nail services'),
                               'singular_name' => __('nail service'),
                           ),
                           'public'      => true,
                           'has_archive' => true,
                       )
    );
}
add_action('init', 'custom_post_type');

add_action( 'init', 'custom_pages_tax' );
function custom_pages_tax() {
    register_taxonomy(
        'sln_service_category',
        'sln_service',
        array(
            'label' => __( 'Nail Category' ),
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'sln_service_category' ),
            'hierarchical' => true,
        )
    );
}
