A text field of your own on every category
tax-text="Field name" Besides the name and description, a category sometimes needs something more: a subtitle, a “new” badge, a line about the supplier. tax-text adds such a field to categories, and the category page shows the value of the one being viewed.
Where it goes
On archive.html, the category page template, on the element with the text: tax-text="Category tagline".
A paragraph with line breaks is tax-area, formatted text is tax-editor: they work like fld-area and fld-editor, only the field lives on the category.
The field appears in the admin only if the page has a group name: wp-fields-group on its <body>.
Example: a category subtitle
<header class="category">
<h1 wp="term-title">Coffee</h1>
<p class="category__tagline" tax-text="Category tagline">Roasted on Mondays</p>
</header>Roasted on Mondays, sold out by Friday
“Coffee” has one line, “Kitchen” another, and the design is the same.
What matters
- The field appears on every category, tag and product category: each can have its own value or stay empty.
- The text in your markup is only a sample. “Load data” does not fill category fields: the value is entered on each category.
- The category’s name and description already exist in WordPress and need no field: see wp="term-title".
Common mistakes
The build log is the “Logs” tab of your project on themeforge.pro; the free markup check shows the same notes.
<p class="category__tagline" fld-text="Category tagline">Roasted on Mondays</p>fld-text on a category page reads a field of a page or post, not of the category: the category gets no value of its own. The log stays silent.
<p class="category__tagline" tax-text="Category tagline">Roasted on Mondays</p>tax-text is the category’s own field.
Alternative spelling
t_text works the same: the build gives an identical theme.
