problems with GD home popular categories widget

You can remove “Categories” in the GD core language file.
Look for

%s Categories

and change to

%s

There is no option to customize what CPTs are listed there, except deleting them.

My suggestion will remove “categories” from all CPT drop down lists in every instance of the GD Popular Categories widget.

Hi Ding,

I have added a filter in GD core to modify the output of that dropdown. It will be avilable in next release.

In the meantime follow these steps

You need to add this line

$taxonomy = apply_filters('geodir_pp_category_taxonomy', $taxonomy);

in

wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-functions/general_functions.php

Around line number 2770

AFTER this code

       $taxonomy = array();
	if ( ! empty( $gd_post_type ) ) {
		$taxonomy[] = $gd_post_type . "category";
	} else {
		$taxonomy = geodir_get_taxonomies( $gd_post_type );
	}

Once you are done with that edit your child theme functions.php file and then add this code

function exclude_gd_taxonomies($taxonomies) {
    $excluded_post_types =  array('gd_place', 'gd_job');
    foreach ($excluded_post_types as $ptype) {
        $cat = $ptype . "category";
        if(($key = array_search($cat, $taxonomies)) !== false) {
            unset($taxonomies[$key]);
        }
    }
    return $taxonomies;
}
add_filter('geodir_pp_category_taxonomy', 'exclude_gd_taxonomies');

You can also provide me admin credentials. So I can apply them.

Thanks

Hi Ding,

Please use code snippets plugin to add custom codes.

Just add the post types in this array.

$excluded_post_types =  array('gd_place', 'gd_job');

I have used gd_place and gd_job as an example.

You can get the post type names in this page.

wp-admin/admin.php?page=geodirectory&tab=geodir_manage_custom_posts

Thanks
