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
