Hi,

I would like to display the portfolio category name as a layer in a post-based slider (filtered for portfolio items) using Revolution slider. I’ve succeeded in getting the portfolio items to display properly, and I have got the portfolio item title displaying as well, but I cannot get the category name to appear with the item’s title. Using {{catlist}} displays nothing, perhaps because this is the shortcode for post categories, not categories for portfolio items. I’ve also tried using {{meta:somemegatag}}, but I don’t know what to use to replace “somemetatag.” I tried {{meta:portfolio-item-category}}, but no luck. Maybe something with .p-meta? Can you help?

Thanks.

Hi,

I created a new post-based slider for regular post types (not portfolio items), and the categories are showing up just fine using {{catlist}}. The problem seems to occur when the post type is portfolio. For some reason, {{catlist}} does not show the category.

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried adding the {{catlist}} to the portfolio-based slider, and the tags are not appearing, so the problem is not related to categories specifically. Maybe something with the meta?

Thanks again.

Sorry, meant to say I added {{taglist}} to see if tags would show up, but they do not. Other meta do show up, though. I added {{author_name}} and {{date}} and they are appearing correctly. But for some reason, categories and tags are not displaying.

Hi there,

It’s because those are only applicable for post types 🙂

The portfolio is a custom post type with no default category and tag, but through custom code, taxonomy category and tag are added. And rev. slider doesn’s support custom taxonomies, those are specifically for posts only.

You may try using custom meta values.

Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation and suggestion. Will give it a try.
