Additional note

Adding a dropdown filter

  • You can add a dropdown menu to the post archive by creating parent-child taxonomy under Posts > Categories; you will need to create a taxonomy with 3 levels of parent-child taxonomies; the last 2 levels will correspond to dropdown filters on the post archive
  • For example:
    • Parent Category: Publications
      • Child Category 1: Topic
        • Child Category 2: Italian Studies
      • "Italian Studies" will be a dropdown option available on the post archive, in the dropdown filter labelled as "Topic"
  • In post archive shortcode, assign the Parent Category in the taxterm parameter (eg.[archive-posts taxonomy="category" taxterm="publications" display="grid" search="true" markup="ap-grid" show_content="true" order="DESC" orderby="date" title="Publications" item_label="publications"])
  • To assign a Post to this archive, in the post archive, select the "Publications" category as well as the specific filtering options (e.g. "Topics" and "Italian Studies")
