  • Permalinks: Set a permalink base for your taxonomy and enable hierarchical permalinks if desired.
  • Advanced Settings:
    • Enable hierarchical structure for parent-child relationships among terms.
    • Make it publicly queryable for better SEO visibility. Or turn this off for taxonomies used only in the backend.
    • Allow it to show in admin quick edit forms for easier management.

Step 4: Add Terms to Your Taxonomy

Now it’s time to add terms:

  1. Navigate to your custom post type in WP Admin.
  2. Find your taxonomy name and select it.
  3. Fill out the fields such as Name, Slug, Parent, and Description for each term.
  4. Utilize Voxel’s custom fields like Icon, Image, Area, and Accent Color for additional details.

Step 5: Design Your Taxonomy Templates

With your taxonomies and terms set up, you can design your templates:

You will need to design your Taxonomy Preview Cards and Taxonomy Single Term Template.

  • Use Voxel’s dynamic tags to pull in the Term Name or Term URL when creating your templates.
  • Ensure that your template reflects the structure of your taxonomies, making it easy for users to find what they’re looking for.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to create a custom taxonomy that enhances content organization on your site using the Voxel theme. Happy organizing!
