Use Custom Post Type in Post Grid

[kennethfeldman]

Hi Jason,

I’ve tried each way that I can understand — but can’t get the POST GRID shortcode to kick out items in my Custom Post Type.

(I come from a front-end background, and am just barely digging into back end coding — so I hope that I’ve even started out right, or that I can even explain this.)

I have a Custom Post Type called “furniture” with a taxonomy of “furniture_type”, and several furniture_types, two of which are “seating” and “tables.”

I’d like to use the POST GRID shortcode to kick out all of the items in the furniture_type of “seating”.

I’m not sure what to enter in the custom query box in the POST GRID shortcode config screen.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

Your setup would be:

post_type={post_type}&{taxonomy}={term}

So, it would be like this:

post_type=furniture&furniture_type=seating

If you can’t get that to work try writing out an HTML ampersand like:

post_type=furniture&furniture_type=seating

Perfect. Thank you!

I guess I just didn’t try that combination in that order.

But I was close!

Thanks Jason!
