Build a matching site with WordPress! Taxonomy of PremiumPress' Microjob theme

This article explains how to set up the Microjob theme from PREMIUMPRESS, which allows you to build a matching site using WordPress.

This time I will explain about taxonomies. It is a very complex and important topic, so I will explain it in detail!

What is a Taxonomy?

First, I will explain where the taxonomies you set up in PremiumPress are output.

The setting location is PREMIUMPRESS's [Settings] > [Taxonomy].

It is designed to allow you to add taxonomies.

It will be added as a new Job category.

Jobs already contain two types of items: features and Categories, but you can add more items.

Just like a normal category, you can add multiple items to it.

Outputted at the time of listing registration

When registering to sell an item, users can select a taxonomy they have created to sell their item.

Show up in search

It will be displayed as a search item, so you can search using the taxonomy you created.This allows you to create a system that allows users to efficiently access the information they want.

How to create a taxonomy

Now, let me introduce the process of creating a taxonomy.

Add original taxonomy

Add it as an original taxonomy in PREMIUMPRESS's [Settings] > [Taxonomy].

Add the original taxonomy name like this.

An alphanumeric string is better

Added

If you want to delete or rename a taxonomy that you have created, update the values of the original taxonomy.

If you want to delete it, just change the name or leave it blank.

It changes like this.

Taxonomy Settings

• Search Page - Check this box if you want to display the page on the search page.
• Multiple selection - Check if not single select
• Hide - Check this box if you have created a file but will not use it.
• Order - In order of arrival

When you add an item to the taxonomy you created, it will appear on the search screen if the search box is checked.

Change taxonomy name to Japanese

I registered the taxonomy in English, but the display was difficult to understand in English, so I changed the language to Japanese after adding the taxonomy.

Search Taxonomy Settings

The settings for displaying taxonomies in search fields are actually done in a different place.

The Taxonomy filter must be turned ON in PREMIUMPRESS's [Settings] > [Search Settings].

Taxonomies that have the Taxonomy filter turned ON and the Search box checked in the Taxonomy settings will be displayed in the search field.

Adding categories to a taxonomy

Add categories to the taxonomy you created. The procedure is the same as adding categories to regular posts.

How to use taxonomies

Users select a taxonomy when listing an item.

It will be automatically output in the [Arrangement] section of the listing page.

You can also customize this part.

Taxonomy Customization

It can be displayed in the details section of the listing page.

Custom Field Settings

You can set this in the custom fields in the [Add/Edit Job] section of [Job Settings] in PREMIUMPRESS. Click [Add Field] to add it.

• Display Text – Enter display name
• Enter text content - description
• Show Categories - Set this if you want to set higher level categories
• Field Type – Select Taxonomy here
• Database key - No modification required as it is linked to the database
• Taxonomy - Select which taxonomies to display
• Required - Set whether to make the field required

If you set the above, the taxonomy will be displayed in the details section.

About displaying categories

We will explain in detail how to set up the category display.

For example, if you select [Graphics & Design] as the category to display

Only if the relevant category is selected in the arrangement

The custom fields you set will be output.

If a different category is selected, it will be hidden.

It took me a while to understand how to set up taxonomies, so I wrote a detailed article about it!
