I’m using a custom post type (products). My products have child categories (I’ve called them product_types).

My template structure:

1. category-products.php
2. loop-products.php
3. single-products.php

This plugin doesn’t appear to work? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Did you work out how to output your custom data into a page template?

After hours of experimentation this worked for me…

The key is to ensure when you first register the post type that your post type name is different from your page (if you’re using a page template).

This rule of thumb also applies if you’re using a plugin like: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/ – check the code it outputs!

My page is named ‘Products‘

My post type is named ‘product‘:

register_post_type('<strong>product</strong>', array(	'label' => 'Products','description' => '','public' => true,'show_ui' => true,'show_in_menu' => true,'capability_type' => 'post','hierarchical' => false,'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),'query_var' => true,'supports' => array('title','editor','excerpt','trackbacks','custom-fields','comments','revisions','thumbnail','author','page-attributes',),'labels' => array (
  'name' => 'Products',
  'singular_name' => 'Product',
  'menu_name' => 'Products',
  'add_new' => 'Add Product',
  'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product',
  'edit' => 'Edit',
  'edit_item' => 'Edit Product',
  'new_item' => 'New Product',
  'view' => 'View Product',
  'view_item' => 'View Product',
  'search_items' => 'Search Products',
  'not_found' => 'No Products Found',
  'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Products Found in Trash',
  'parent' => 'Parent Product',
),) );

You may find you have to gut your wp_posts for a clean slate, but this solution requires no additional slug rewrites.

Best,

Forgot to include my pagination links didn’t I – doh. All good. Bedtime!

Many thanks,

@fonglh would you mind posting your template page?

Just solved this actually.

register_post_type('products', array(
  'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'products')
));

or alternatively if you’re using this plugin ( http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/ ) you’ll want to ensure under ‘Manage Post Types > Advanced Options’ that you provide a ‘Custom Rewrite Slug’.

My URL now looks something like this, with the extra level clearing naming clashes up:

http://localhost/project/products/product-1/

Best,
