Hi @jakept

This plugin is okay for filtering tags but what if I want to filter categories for custom post type? e.g. wp-json/wp/v2/portfolio?filter[category]=”analytics,cloud”. Is there any plugin for this or do I need to do some modifications for the same?

Hi @jakept,

I’m now able to access portfolio data using wp rest api but the json that I’m getting is not having any category id/tag mentioned in it. Will you please let me know what can be done to make sure that I get category id/tag?

I have written code as following:

/**
 * Add REST API support to an already registered post type.
 */
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_post_type_rest_support', 25 );
function my_custom_post_type_rest_support() {
  global $wp_post_types;
 
  //be sure to set this to the name of your post type!
  $post_type_name = 'startapp_portfolio';
  if( isset( $wp_post_types[ $post_type_name ] ) ) {
    $wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->show_in_rest = true;
    $wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_base = $post_type_name;
    $wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_controller_class = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
    
  }
}

Thanks,

Hi @jakept,

I could fetch posts by using category id now. But for some ids it shows null to me even when there is data in backend with that category id. Would you please let me know why is it happening so?

Hi @jakept,

I tried the solution that you gave to me. I tried to get posts using following api call: /wp/v2/posts?categories=category-id-that-I-found but this returned me something like this “Unexpected ‘<‘”. Would please let me know what’s wrong here?

Thanks

Hello @jakept,

What I’m trying here is to get json data from wordpress but to call wp rest api, I need something like tag/category/id, right? but all that I have is link/url so I am just asking if I can call wp rest api using that link which is available to me & get json data? If yes, how
