closed resolvedHi there.
I have modified the 'Choices' theme to show tags on portfolio entries, like Dude shows here: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-tags-for-portfolio-posts
The problem, however, is that clicking any of those tags doesn't return any results.
I always get a 'Tag Archive: Nothing Found' page.
Is there a way - be it a plugin or a theme modification - to correct this behaviour?

Hi OttoRobba,
I'm not sure whats going on as I just went through and tested it and didn't have any issue with pulling up an archive with the tag links.
My only guess is that perhaps your permalinks are not configured correctly or that there is something else causing a conflict with the proper output of it. You can try changing your permalink settings to default and try it again, if it works then you can try the troubleshooting tips from the Wordpress codex here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_Permalink_Problems

Hi Devin,
I tried what you said now, both locally and on the remote server (hosted on HGator), changed permalinks, nothing seems to work.
This is for tags from portfolio entries, just to be sure we are on the same page as regular blog post tags work just fine - which makes the whole thing even weirder.
This is running a vanilla install of Choices - only modification was to enable the tags.
EDIT: Could something be wrong with the very method of showing portfolio tags? It was originally posted as the solution for the theme coherence, link is in the first post.

Very strange, I double checked and I did enable it for Choices specifically. The code is just a general way of adding support for tags for custom post types so it really should work without issue for any kind of custom post type.
Make sure wordpress is updated and that there aren't any other plugins installed and active. Just in case something is causing a conflict with the theme.
If you can also create a temporary admin account for me I'll log in and see if I can spot anything in the wordpress backend that might be causing the tags not to work properly.
You can send the information to my email at DevinVinson (at) gmail.com. Make sure to include a link to this topic so that my spam filter doesn't grab it :)

Hi Otto,
Have you changed anything else in the custom post type portfolio? I see that you changed the name that appears in Wordpress to Lessons and wordpress is pretty sensitive to names when it comes to custom post types. So if you've changed anything else...it could be causing the theme to grab the incorrect loop for the archive.
If you want to have a different custom post type, I would suggest just creating a new one from scratch as I really can't even say without some major digging what other conflicts there might be to modifying the portfolio post type. Its pretty ingrained in the framework at this point.
Regards,
Devin
Changed it to lessons after doing all the test with regular portfolio nomenclature. Haven't changed any arrays or anything like that, only the echo text, as you saw. I can revert it to vanilla Choices nomenclature but I assure you, the problem will still be there.
Reverted it to entirely vanilla Choices, only modification whatsoever is to display tags, as seen on Dude's topic.
No plugins, nothing. Any clue? :(
Any news on what the issue might be?

Hi,
To see something you need to make a blog post using the same tag. Portfolio items have their own categories. Tags aren't unique to portfolio items but shared with the blog posts.
A cool use for the tags would be linking them to posts, so if u put a tag 'waffle iron' on a blog post, you can have a waffle iron portfolio with that tag linking to all waffle iron posts so they are interlinked. Good SEO value!
You need to make a completely separate taxonomy calling it something like Tags2 if you want to have tags only shared between portfolio items.
// registration code for portfolio-tags taxonomy
function register_portfolio_tags_tax() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Portfolio Tags', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Portfolio Tag', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New Portfolio Tag', 'Portfolio Tag'),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Portfolio Tag' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Portfolio Tag' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Portfolio Tag' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Portfolio Tag' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Portfolio Tags' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No Portfolio Tag found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Portfolio Tag found in Trash' ),
);
$pages = array('portfolio');
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'singular_label' => __('Portfolio Tag'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio-tag', 'with_front' => false ),
);
register_taxonomy('portfolio-tags', $pages, $args);
}
add_action('init', 'register_portfolio_tags_tax');You can try something like this. Drop it please into your functions.php, and see if you have a new taxonomy in portfolio
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
Use this plugin to attach the image to the new taxonomy, I think it still works, if not there are instructions, not that difficult. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-images/ Good luck!
Thanks,
Nick
