Using tags and categories within episodes

Podlove Publisher

Hi!

Thanks for this great plugin. I just discovered this and it has almost everything I need!

There is one thing missing, though. It’s great that episodes use the posts structure within wordpress, but I would like to use tags and categories just like with normal posts.

This way we can trigger e-mails and show the episode on the mainpage.

Is there a way to do this, maybe using custom fields?

Thanks!

If you go to “Modules”, you can enable categories for episodes.

Thanks! I activated this, but I don’t see the category option appearing anywhere. Where can I check? I also don’t see it appear in screen options within the post. Should this work like normal post categories?

Should appear in the editor sidebar:

Hm, is this only visible in the Gutenberg editor? We use WPBakery, and I can’t find it anywhere. Finding it in normal posts with WPBakery is no problem at all.

So also in Gutenberg it doesn’t show up after activating the module. Any idea why it is not appearing? We really need this :open_mouth:
