Custom Taxonomy based on theme 'Captivate' WordPress

Daniel Q comments:

Hi Arnov,

Sure. I am using the captivate theme I purchased on Themeforest. This theme has a custom taxonomy called Works. I wiah to add a new taxonomy to this theme called 'Team'. I want to be able to list out my team members per category, much the same as works is displayed [[LINK href="http://www.danielquinn.ie/brady/work/"]]Here[[/LINK]]

I am having problems with the creation of this taxonomy with this theme. To explain, I have added the Taxonomy via this themes /framework/azure_registers.php file

This file appears as

<?php

if ( !isset($content_width) ) {
$content_width = 960;
}
if ( function_exists('add_theme_support') ) {
add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_theme_support( 'nav_menus' );
add_theme_support( 'custom-header' );
add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'gallery', 'quote', 'video' ) );
}
add_editor_style();

I'm unsure which other files I will need to ammend with this theme I guess?

Arnav Joy comments:

why are you creating different taxonomy for it , i think you can use built in work taxonomy for this work , and can add team custom post type to work with the default work taxonomy

and for this you do not have to register any taxonomy , just register team post type as you are doing and change following code

register_taxonomy('work-category',

array('work'),

array(

'hierarchical' => true,

'label' => 'Work Categories',

'singular_label' => 'Work Categories',

'rewrite' => true,

'query_var' => true

));


to

register_taxonomy('work-category',

array('work','team'),

array(

'hierarchical' => true,

'label' => 'Work Categories',

'singular_label' => 'Work Categories',

'rewrite' => true,

'query_var' => true

));

Daniel Q comments:

Hi,

@Arnav_Joy I implemented this suggestion but the outcome is not what was needed.

I have attached a screenshot of the outcome of this method

As described I am trying to create a taxonomy for 'Team'. I need to be able to add team members in different categories. I need to relate individual team members to projects created under 'Works'. The relationship here will work both ways, using the UX of the 'Captivate' Theme I want to create a page called 'Team' which will show all team members using the same interface options as 'Works' and further, allow users to organise team members by category (a team member may belong in more than one category).

When I add items to 'Works' I want to be able to assign 'Team' members to this project.

When a user views a team member, I want them to see a list of projects this team member has been involved in. Team taxonomy will have different cpt to the works taxonomy. I am trying to figure out how I can do this?
