Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about LAPDI Featured Categories

Deleting the plugin removes its widget and shortcode settings, stored category image and featured-category assignments, and any remaining private legacy table. Your WordPress categories, tags, posts, pages, page-term assignments, and Media Library attachments are not deleted. Category and tag controls no longer appear on Pages unless another plugin or theme enables them.

Edit a Page and use the Categories and Tags controls provided by WordPress. After publishing, the Page appears in the corresponding public category and tag archives alongside matching Posts.

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.

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.

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.

This simply means this category type is not supported.

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. <div class="row" style="margin: 20px 0px;"> <div class="2u"> <?php // get category ID $cat_id = get_cat_ID( single_cat_title(null,false) ); // get options for tsp featured categories $options = get_option('tsp-featured-categories-option-term-data'); // check to see if the category has term data if ( array_key_exists( $cat_id, $options )): if ( $options[$cat_id]['image'] != null ): // display the image ?> <img class="image" src="<?php echo $options[$cat_id]['image'];?>" width="125" height="125" border="0"> <?php endif; endif; ?> </div> <div class="10u"> <h2><?php _e("Browsing category", "site5framework"); ?> / <span><?php single_cat_title(); ?></span></h2> <h4><em><?php echo category_description(); ?></em></h4> </div> </div>
