How to display Custom Taxonomies in Post Meta using Neve PRO?

📝 Note: This feature is part of Neve PRO Addon, which you can purchase here.

In WordPress, taxonomies are a way to organize and categorize the content. While WordPress provides built-in taxonomies like categories and tags, you can also create custom taxonomies to better structure your content. This document will guide you through the process of creating a custom taxonomy using a Custom Post Type (CPT) plugin in WordPress.

🛠 Tools Needed:

• Neve theme - download and install
• Neve PRO Addon - download and install
• CPT UI plugin - this is our choice, but you can use other similar plugins as well (e.g. Pods, ACF)

🧰 Install and Activate CPT UI Plugin

1

Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.

2

Navigate to Plugins > Add New.

3

In the search bar, enter the name of the CPT UI plugin.

4

Install and activate the plugin.

🧩 Create a Custom Taxonomy

In the following steps, we will explain how to create a custom taxonomy called Ingredients, where we will add corresponding ingredients for our recipes (posts).

1

In your WordPress dashboard, go to CPT UI.

2

Click on Add/Edit Taxonomies.

3

Fill in the details for your custom taxonomy:

• Plural Label: Ingredients
• Singular Label: Ingredient
• Slug: ingredient

4

Check Posts (WP Core) to associate this taxonomy with regular blog posts.

5

Click the Add Taxonomy button to create your Ingredients custom taxonomy.

6

Repeat the above steps for as many taxonomies as you need.

🗂 Populate the Custom Taxonomy

Now that you have created the custom taxonomy for ingredients, you can add ingredients to your posts:

1

Edit an existing recipe post or create a new one.

2

In the post editor, look for the Ingredients accordion.

3

Enter an ingredient name, and WordPress will provide suggestions from the custom taxonomy.

4

Select the ingredient from the suggestions or type a new ingredient name if it doesn't exist.

5

Continue adding all the ingredients for your recipe, separating each ingredient with commas.

6

Update or publish the recipe to save your changes.

📝 Note: You can see the available ingredients in WP Dashboard > Posts > Ingredients. It's also an alternative for adding ingredients, apart from directly typing them, as we did above.

4

Inside the Type accordion, select Custom Taxonomy.

Optionally, edit the Format of the meta to be more suggestive (e.g. Ingredients:).
