Article: Introducing WordPress 3 Custom Taxonomies
Great write up on NetTuts.com Paul. I’ve a question, and I’m sure your knowledge of WordPress custom Taxonomies can answer it.
I adopted custom taxonomies when wp 2.8 was released – Justin Tadlock was the eye-opener into this new World of WordPress organisation. But I’ve struggled with getting correctly formatted meta descriptions after v2.91 broke all my conditional if is_tax title and descriptions (which were hard-coded into my header.php). More info on that here – http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10721#comment:6 and http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11904.
I’ve since been able to get the meta title functioning, though in an automated fashion (which is not quite good enough: it does work for all titles, but the format is less than ideal for others – and after all, 1 single title format for every custom taxonomy is is not going to work where you have more than a few CTs).
So my question ….. is there any way to set a custom taxonomy’s meta description and/or title..? I’d prefer to custom write each CTs, but would settle for any solution at this frustrated stage.
