FAQ
After I installed the plugin the permalink `/dataset/` does not work
Reset the permalinks, and manually update the .htaccess if necessary. For more information see this page: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-page-for-custom-taxonomy-shows-404-when-using-custom-permalink-structur
How do I display the recent datasets or projects in a sidebar?
Use the Latest Custom Post Type Updates widget
How do I display the opendata categories, data formats and tags in a sidebar?
Use the List Custom Taxonomy Widget widget
How do I get the datasets or projects as RSS feed?
In for example Firefox go to Bookmarks > Subscribe to this page, and choose an RSS feed. You can also visit an URL that looks like this: http://your-wp-installation/?post_type=dataset&feed=rss2.
How do I export datasets or projects to XML?
- WordPress exporter: login as admin, go to Tools > Export, select Dataset or Project and choose Download Export File
- Custom exporter: login as admin, go to Settings > WP OpenData and select Export datasets to XML
How do I add a link to the datasets and/or projects archives to the (main) menu using the WordPress menu editor?
Add a “Custom Links” block to the menu with the URL set to /?post_type=dataset or (when using pretty permalinks) /dataset/. Use project instead of dataset to create a menu item for projects.
Is it possible for anyone to add new datasets and projects?
This plugin adds a new user role to your WordPress installation called Open data contributor. In Settings > General turn on the option “Anyone can register” and set the “New default user role” to Open data contributor.
Now anyone can register and add new or modify their own datasets and projects. When a contributor saves a dataset or project the entry status will be set to “Pending Review”. A contributor will not receive an e-mail when you approve the changes.
Note that new users might have the permission to upload media to your WordPress installation. To turn this off go to Settings > WP OpenData.
Which user roles can manage datasets and projects?
- Administrator
- Editor
- Open data contributor (custom role added by this plugin)
