Post Term not populating

[zenzino]

Hello,

On the home page: http://kontaktmag.flywheelstaging.com I have a Looper Provider for the “restaurant & bar” category.

It is pulling through the posts correctly. I have a headline element that is set for {{dc:term:name}} but the post category name doesn’t appear. I also created a component that does the same thing (also with {{dc:term:url}} on the button).

I know the provider is correct because the posts are coming through. Am I using the wrong dynamic content code?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @zenzino,

Thanks for writing in! You can only use {{dc:term:name}} in an archive layout assign to a category or taxonomy page. If you must use {{dc:term:name}} in your Looper, you must first use the Looper Provider Current Terms Provider. Like this structure:

Looper Provider Query Builder (to display post items)
   Looper Consumer
       Display Post Title
       Looper Provider Current Terms/Looper Consumer
             Display `{{dc:term:name}}`
      

You can use the Terms element:

• Terms | Themeco Docs

Best Regards.

Hey @ruenel,

Thanks for the response. I see now that the terms are a separate Provider from the posts.

I’m still not getting it, though.

I have the page set up as follows:

Section: Provider Query Builder (Posts, Taxonomies (category))
Row: Provider (Current Terms)
Element: Headline (term name) consumer
Element: Button (term name, term URL) consumer
Row: Posts (consumer)

I tried putting the Providers and consumers in different locations but nothing worked.

I read the page you linked but didn’t see the answer there.

Hi @zenzino,

It is very difficult to understand the structure of the Provider and the Consumer of the page where you are facing the problem. I would suggest you please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

– WordPress Site URL & Login URL
– WordPress Admin username/password
– Specific Page where you are facing the problem.

To create a secure note, click the key icon underneath any of your posts.

NOTE: Please check if the consumer is properly added for every provider.

Thanks

@tristup,

All of that was provided in my original question. The secure note is attached.

The issue is on the first section of the homepage.

I’ll attach another secure note here.

Hello @zenzino,

I went ahead and called the post using the Looper query builder and displayed the post terms as well please have a look at the settings. You can check the settings on your homepage where I have created a section called “Themeco test” You need to unhide from the breakpoints.

Hope it helps
Thanks

Hi @prakash_s,

I looked at the example you made. I have my section headline set up in the same way and it’s not working.

In the very first section (restaurant & bar) I have a Provider Query to pull the restaurant & bar category. Within that, I have a Row (labeled Section Headline) and I have a Provider on the Column set to Current Post Terms and set the Column as a consumer. Within the column, I have a headline element and button element with {{dc:term:name}}.

This is what it shows:

Structurally, I don’t see any difference between the way I set up the Section Headline and the way you set up the Themeco Test section, except you have the category Provider set on the Row while I have the Provider on the whole section.

Hello @zenzino,

I am seeing this structure:

You are still using the Looper Provider Current Post Terms incorrectly.

Since you only need to display “Restaurants & Bar” category, just use plain text. The [{{dc:term:name}}] will still not work because of the incorrect structure. Always keep in mind that Looper Provider Current Post Terms must be inside the Looper Consumer that display the post item For example;

Looper Provider Query Builder (to display post items)
   Looper Consumer
       Display Post Title
       Looper Provider Current Terms/Looper Consumer
             Display `{{dc:term:name}}`

If you are using that way so that you will have a dynamic link URL for your “See More” button, you can use dynamic content with specific ID with the use of Looper Provider like:

• {{dc:term:name term="92"}}
• {{dc:term:url term="92"}}

where 92 is the category ID for “Restaurant And Bar” category.

Hope this makes sense.

I figured it out (by accident).

Turns out I didn’t need the additional Current Post Terms Provider.

I just set the column as a consumer and set the count to one item and now it works.

Thanks for your patience and help.

You are most welcome.
