Managing Taxonomies
Taxonomies are a way to classify listing profiles, essentially organizing them into different categories or groups. Utilizing taxonomies can enhance features and broaden the reach of your directory.
To view all taxonomies available in a directory, you can go to ACF > Taxonomies
Here are two key definitions you need to know:
- Taxonomy: This includes ‘cities‘, ‘types‘, ‘services‘, ‘conditions‘, etc.
- Taxonomy Term: For example, in the ‘city‘ taxonomy, terms like ‘New York‘, ‘Los Angeles‘, ‘Buffalo‘, etc., are included.
By default, we’ve included 10 cities in NYC and hundreds of terms to define and filter businesses. If you want to add, delete, or modify any taxonomy, simply hover over to the custom post types from your WordPress dashboard (Professionals, Projects, Doctors, Facilities, etc.,) and select the taxonomy you want to work with. From there, you can add, edit, or remove the terms as needed.
