Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about LAPDI Featured Categories
Make sure the folder /wp-content/uploads/ has recursive, 777 permissions
Make sure you are listing all categories and/or parent_cat is empty or the parent_cat has children categories.
What is a taxonomy?
A taxonomy is simply a name given to a group of objects in WordPress. Since this plugin now features multiple taxonomies (other than 'category') in version 1.2.8, you can now enter custom taxonomies to display on your web pages.
Which new category taxonomies does the new version 1.2.8 use?
It really depends on how well the plugin author follows protocol. So far we have tested it with WooCommerce product categories and LMS course categories and it works fine. However if the plugin author does not store the course image under the meta_key '%thumbnail_id' you will never be able to display the images for your categories.
I installed the new version 1.2.8 and I entered a category taxonomy but it doesn't display?
This simply means this category type is not supported.
How do I test different category taxonomies with the new version 1.2.8?
If your preferred plugin has a 'Categories' section for items (ie Events, Videos, Products) and it also allows you to add category details (ie images, description, title) there is a good chance its supported.
Click on the category, in the browser you will see "?taxonomy=XXX" where XXX is the new category taxonomy you can use.
Enter this taxonomy in your widget or your shortcode for LAPDI Featured Categories
If #1 was true but it still doesnt work, it means that the author didn't follow normal protocals when storing category data and it wont be functional.

You can add similar code to your PHP file. This will display the category title, description and thumbnail at runtime. Remember you can use shortcodes to display category information at design time.
