Add Custom Taxonomies to Advanced Sermons

How To Add Custom Taxonomies to Advanced Sermons #

Summary

In this online documentation, we’ll guide you on how to add custom taxonomies to Advanced Sermons. The method has undergone changes with the introduction of Advanced Sermons 3.0. This guide is intended to help those who had created custom taxonomies prior to the release of Advanced Sermons 3.0 and want to integrate them into the updated version.

Option 1. Download & Install Advanced Sermons Taxonomy Addons

For a streamlined experience, we’ve crafted custom taxonomy plugins that are ready for download and installation on your WordPress site. Once activated, no further steps are required. The new taxonomy will be visible under the dashboard menu item ‘Sermons’. Assign a sermon to the taxonomy, and it will be displayed on the frontend in the filter bar, grid view, list view, and individual sermon template. To ensure the proper functioning of these addons, please ensure that you’ve updated Advanced Sermons to version 3.0.

Option 2. Add and Customize Your Own Code

For developers who prefer a hands-on approach to integrating customizations, use the code provided below. Add this to your own plugin or the functions.php file of your child theme. This code works seamlessly with all the built-in hooks available in Advanced Sermons.

// Create custom sermon campus taxonomy
add_action('init', 'asp_register_taxes_campus');
function asp_register_taxes_campus() {
    // Get Advanced Sermons global variables
    global $asp_archive_slug;

    $labels = array(
        "name" => __("Campuses", "advanced-sermons"),
