    Hello,

    I am working on a WordPress site designed to list fish based on their respective basins. To achieve this, I am using Pods to structure my content. Here are the steps I have followed: 1. Creating the Content Types

    • I created a Pod called “Fish” as a custom post type.
    • I added several fields to this Pod, including Latin name, common name, weight, size, etc.

    2. Managing the Basins

    • Initially, I created my basins in the Category section of WordPress.
    • Then, I wanted to structure this better with Pods, so I created a “Basin” Pod as a custom taxonomy.
    • In the “Fish” Pod, I added a “Basin” field of type “Relationship: Taxonomy (Category)”, allowing each fish to be assigned to a basin.

    3. Associating Fish with Basins

    • When editing a fish entry, I can select a basin from a dropdown menu.
    • My fish entries are correctly saved with their respective basins.

    4. Issue Encountered

    I want to display a list of fish belonging to a specific basin on a page. I am using Elementor Pro and Loop Grid to do this.

    My current Loop Grid settings are:

    • Source: “Category”
    • Filter by: “Manual Selection”
    • Include by: selecting “La Seine”
    • Order by: “Name” (alphabetical order)

    However, no fish are being displayed, even though my fish entries are correctly linked to basins.

    My Questions

    • Did I misconfigure the relationship between my fish and basins?
    • Do I need to do anything specific in Pods to ensure the custom taxonomy “Basin” is recognized correctly in Elementor?
    • Is there a setting I might have missed to display fish associated with a basin?

    I would really appreciate your help as I am stuck on this issue.

    Thank you very much !

    kind regards.

    For Elementor to see it as a taxonomy, use the core WordPress taxonomy relationship structure by checking the box for Fish under the Connections tab when editing Basins. This will use the default WordPress taxonomy user interface and data storage instead of a meta field.
