Parent page for custom post type

[harshayejju]

Dear Friends,

I want to have a parent page for the portfolio custom post type.  Can you please recommend the easiest way (if any) to do this?

I could get into the code and start messing around but I would like to leave that as a last resort.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Been working on this for nearly a day or so now.  Figured out how to set the hierarchical to ‘true’ in the register_post_type() within a functionality plugin and also enabled page-attributes to show parent pages.  However, I’m still not able to figure out how to make the parent of the portfolio custom post type a static page.

I’ve also tried to use Posts 2 Posts plugin but not able to get it to show the connection metabox.  I’m assuming this way above your service level offered but is it possible to get some feedback from one of the developers about integration of the theme with this plugin?  Is Atelier capable of doing this?

Hi,

Need to understand exactly what you trying to achieve with this? It’s because of the url structure? do you want to have something like to
http://www.yoursite.com/portfolio_parent/portfolio_child

If so you can set this in the permalinks and create a page with the same name has the portfolio_parent with custom content.

Rui,

You make a good point.  I guess I’m just a little confused about the custom post types and the best way to use them.  Any tips and notes on correct way of using them?

I’m still having some issues to create pages with the same ‘name’ (i.e. do you mean manually include /portfolio-parent/portfolio-child in the permalink of the page).  Is there a step-by-step guide for this kind of procedure?  I’m a little confused when using pages to create menu items (the other alternative is to use custom links as menu items) because it seems like a very broken way of doing things.

Is this way of doing things related to the shop page usage with woocommerce?   I’ve noticed that when using the path http://www.site.com/shop which is reserved by WooCommerce in some unknown way the edit page looks empty but works fine when clicked on.  How are these pages being populated?

Hey Harsha,

1) So we have a better understanding, could you post up how you want your portfolio URL’s to be?

2) The WooCommerce reserved page contents are generated automatically, not related to the Page Builder. Those templates exist within the theme folder.

Thanks.

Hi David,

1. This was the problem initially –>

Page URL: localhost/shop, Breacrumb: Site Title > Products, Page title: Shop

After changing the woocommerce reserved page using the method in step 2 below, I have better consistency.

Page URL: localhost/products, Breadcrumb: Site Title > Products, Page Title: Products

The only problem is that I have to leave that page blank or else all the products get added to the page at the bottom after all my content on the page.  Not the biggest deal to just leave the page blank and let woocommerce do its thing so I consider this problem solved).

2. I also changed the woocommerce reserved page to a page of my choice instead of the ‘shop’ by going to woocommerce > settings > product > display > shop page dropdown.  I’m just including this as a comment so that the community can use this for their reference.

However, before you guys close out this issue can I get a response for the following?

I’ve also tried to use Posts 2 Posts plugin but not able to get it to show the connection metabox.  Is Atelier capable of doing this?  I like this plugin and the functionality it provides but not sure how I would be able to get the metaboxes to show.

Best,
Harsha

Hi Harsha,

Great work on the above points, I cannot support a 3rd party plugin as such but I can help try and resolve your issue –

Could you privately post a WP login so I can check there are no console errors with the post admin ?

Cheers.

Great thanks for the help.

Hi there,

Unfortunately that is not part of the current theme functionality, and it’s not within the scope of our support to be able to provide that functionality as it is more work than a small customisation.

While we’d love to be able to support every customisation request, we simply don’t have the time. We recommend that you seek a freelance developer if you need that functionality, potentially from one of the below resources:

Hope that helps.

David,

You guys need to really think about your design better. To me this is a very basic functionality. Adding a simple cart or linking to another page with an icon of our choice should be very straight forward from the header.

I find my experience working through extra abstraction layers thanks to SWift PB or atelier to be more of a hindrance if you can’t provide basic support for some very basic functionality.

Furthermore, why am I not able to post new topics?

Harsha,

If I understand you correctly, you just want to add an additional right side icon linked to a page?

You can do this in the theme options “Header Options”.

1) Locate “Header Right Config”

2) Drag in Text/Shortcode

3) Locate “Header right text config” and enter your Text/Icon content to create the link.

Thanks! Thant’s what I was looking for. Do you know how I can make my own custom icon? Or add to my icons you have in the atelier theme?

Harsha

No problem! We have a huge selection for you to use.

You can add any FontAwesome Icon: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

Example: <i class="fa fa-pinterest-p"></i>

Or any Icon Mind Icons: http://swiftideas.com/documentation/icon-mind-icons/

Example: <i class="sf-im-thumb"></i>

Thanks,
David.
