How to Use Taro Series

Taro Series is a custom post type for serial content.

1. Create a custom post type named "Series".
2. The designated post type will be part of a "Series", and a metabox to link the post to a series will be displayed.

The following features are provided to link a series with its posts:

• "Series Table of Contents" block. This displays a list of articles belonging to the same series from any article.
• "Automatic Series Table of Contents". With theme customizer settings, a table of contents for posts belonging to the same series is automatically displayed if it is a series. This makes lateral movement through the content easier.

Template Structure

You can customize the appearance by placing templates in each theme directory. It's safe to copy the template-parts directory found in the plugin and delete anything unnecessary.

template-parts
- series
  - item.php // Each item displayed in the table of contents.
  - list.php // The entire table of contents.

Additionally, a special permalink for "articles in this series" is added, and URLs like /series/%series_slug%/ become available. The template is chosen in the following order:

- archive-in-series-{series-slug}.php
- archive-in-series.php
- archive.php
- index.php

Hooks and Functions

• Try searching for tar_series_. There are many hooks available.
• There are functions available in includes/functions.php.
• By setting orderby to series-updated in WP_Query, ordering by descending (order=desc) will arrange the posts by "the most recently updated article in that series", while ascending (order=asc) will arrange them by "the oldest article in the series".
