Using Product Tags to populate a Brands page?

Hi there,

(unskilled user here!)

We have an existing website and the dev that built it set up something so it auto-populates our brands page when a Product Tag is assigned to a product. I’m trying to recreate this in another page.

I’ve had a dig around and it appears SiteOrigin Editor was used and the Editor block includes the following instruction:

[mctagmap columns=”2″ hide=”no” num_show=”5″ more=”more »” toggle=”« less” show_empty=”no” name_divider=”|” tag_count=”no” descriptions=”no” width=”285″ equal=”yes” manual=”” basic =”no” basic_heading=”no” taxonomy=”product_tag”]

So i’m trying to recreate this feature in another website i’m building, but if I enter the above text into the new site using SiteOrigin Editor is simply displays the text itself.

I’m probably missing something very obvious, but unfortunately I don’t have the knowledge to problem solve it.

Hoping someone may be able to assist?

Thanks

    Hi Adam,

    The quoted text is called a shortcode and it’s not a standard WordPress or SiteOrigin shortcode. By the looks of it, it’s added the by the Multi-column Tag Map plugin. I would double check to see if this plugin is installed on your other site. If it’s not, a different plugin is adding it so I would take a look through your plugin list to see if any jump out.

    It was indeed Multi-column Tag Map and worked a charm – thank you Alex!!!
