microblog category widget

Hi IshYoBoy!

I would like to ask that how can I set up the category widget to show the microblog categories and not the posts’ categories?

Cheers

Hey,

This needs manual code update. The IshYoBoy Categories widget is located in the file:
wp-content/themes/creolio/assets/framework/wp/widgets/categories-widget.php

Mainly lines 56 – 70 are important:

<?php
    $args = array(
        'type'                     => 'post',
        'child_of'                 => 0,
        'parent'                   => '',
        'orderby'                  => 'name',
        'order'                    => 'ASC',
        'hide_empty'               => 1,
        'hierarchical'             => 1,
        'exclude'                  => '',
        'include'                  => '',
        'number'                   => '',
        'taxonomy'                 => 'category',
        'pad_counts'               => false );

$categories = get_categories($args);

<?php

$args = array(

'type' => 'post',

'child_of' => 0,

'parent' => '',

'orderby' => 'name',

'order' => 'ASC',

'hide_empty' => 1,

'hierarchical' => 1,

'exclude' => '',

'include' => '',

'number' => '',

'taxonomy' => 'category',

'pad_counts' => false );

$categories = get_categories($args);

As you can see it only uses the default taxonomy which is “category” and the type “post” which is the default post type. The microblog one is “microblog_category” and its post type is “microblog-post”. So you need to update the code to load them.

Not sure if you will be able to do this with “get_categories()” function or you might have to use the “get_term()” one. It however expects different arguments, so make sure to see its specification. In any case you can read more about both of them here:
