Adding custom taxonomy to archive page post meta

[FireSamuraiParticipant Post count: 11]

Is anyone aware how to display a custom post type’s (cpt) taxonomy on an archive-[cpt].php page? I’ve tried numerous different things, but have come up short. The closest I can get to this is by filter the post meta, however, is_page_template() is not allowed within the loop…

Here is the filter method that works with the exception of the is_page_template conditional tag.

/** Customize the post meta function for archive-news.php */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter' );
function post_meta_filter( $post_meta ) {
if ( is_page_template( 'archive-news.php' ) ) {
    $news_taxonomy = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'news_category', 'Filed Under: ', ', ', '' );
	$post_meta = $news_taxonomy . '[post_tags before="Tagged: "]';
    return $post_meta;
}}

I have also attempted moving the conditional out of the filter function in this way, but with no luck:

/** Customize the post meta function for archive-news.php */
function change_news_post_meta_filter() {
	if ( is_page_template( 'archive-news.php' ) ) {
		
		add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'news_post_meta_filter' );
		function news_post_meta_filter( $post_meta ) {
			
			$news_taxonomy = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'news_category', 'Blah Under: ', ', ', '' );
			$post_meta = $news_taxonomy . '[post_tags before="Tagged: "]';
			
			return $post_meta;
		}
	}
}

Okay… feeling a little totally embarrassed here. It turns out after many attempts that I was in the wrong file; no wonder nothing I attempted worked. *facepalm*

When I realized that, I went back to an earlier (and simpler) version and it’s working just fine. The following code will display the CPT’s categories on any page using archive-[cpt].php page template. Add this to your archive-[cpt].php page template. You will need to replace ‘news_category’ with whatever you used when registering your taxonomy.

add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'news_post_meta_filter' );
function news_post_meta_filter( $post_meta ) {
	
	$news_taxonomy = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'news_category', 'Filed Under: ', ', ', '' );
	$post_meta = $news_taxonomy . '[post_tags before="Tagged: "]';
	
	return $post_meta;
}
