Hi there,

Thanks again for your help — I’ve followed your approach and used a static page with the BetterDocs shortcodes, and that part is now working properly.

However I’m still facing an issue specifically with the single doc page — it isn’t picking up the proper layout.
Instead of using the BetterDocs layout, it’s falling back to author.php and shows the same list of posts that appear on the documentation archive/main page earlier.

Is there anything we can do to force the single doc page to use the BetterDocs layout (or a specific template like layout-1.php)?

Would really appreciate a little direction on that part as well.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the detailed response — it really helped me narrow things down. I checked the template being used for the documentation page and noticed that it’s loading author.php, However, I have the Built-in Page option enabled in BetterDocs General Settings.

Is there a way to force BetterDocs to use the built-in documentation template for all pages, rather than author.php? Or could there be something in my setup that’s causing BetterDocs to fall back to the author.php template?

Thanks.

oh great, that really helped, thank you.

Thank you so much, I resolved the jQuery error then disabled disable the Hierarchical Tree of Terms and now the filter is perfectly working

Thanks for the clarification. However, the issue remains unresolved. I have correctly used the filter:

add_filter('ymc_filter_custom_layout_169_1', 'custom_sidebar_filter', 10, 6);

But the post count is not appearing in the sidebar filter. Can you confirm if this filter is correct for modifying the sidebar layout? Also, is there a specific way to retrieve the post count using the plugin’s query parameters?

I’d appreciate any further guidance. Thanks!

I am using the Sidebar Layout and trying to add post count functionality to it.

filter id: ymc_filter_custom_layout_169_1
layout id: display_hello_world_layout_1

Here is the code I am using:

add_filter('ymc_filter_custom_layout_169_1_display_hello_world_layout_1', 'custom_sidebar_filter', 10, 6);

function custom_sidebar_filter($output, $filter_id, $layout_id, $terms, $post_type, $taxonomy) {
    if (!empty($terms)) {
        $output = '<ul class="ymc-sidebar-filter">';
        foreach ($terms as $term) {
            $term_count = $term->count; // Get post count for each category
            $output .= '<li>';
            $output .= '<a href="' . get_term_link($term->term_id, $taxonomy) . '">' . $term->name . ' (' . $term_count . ')</a>';
            $output .= '</li>';
        }
        $output .= '</ul>';
    }
    return $output;
}
