To add in the post meta of custom taxonomy terms into custom post types in Genesis WordPress theme you need to create a function with a conditional that equals the custom post type then set the post meta using shortcode which includes the taxonomy terms, then apply a filter to the result to the genesis_post_meta function in your functions.php file.
You can choose to have the custom taxonomy on its own or a mixture with the regular categories and tags.
//Filter the Taxonomy Meta on a CPT
function themeprefix_genesis_post_meta_filter( $post_meta ) {
if ( 'coaching_technique' == get_post_type() ) {//swap in CPT name
$post_meta='[[post_terms taxonomy="difficulty-level" before="Difficulty Level: "]]';//swap in taxonomy and label name
return $post_meta;
}
elseif ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) {
return $post_meta;
}
}
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta','themeprefix_genesis_post_meta_filter', 11 );
In the example above the custom post type is ‘coaching technique‘, the taxonomy is ‘difficulty-level‘ and a before label of ‘Difficulty Level‘ is used.
If you wanted to also keep the categories and tag values also you would also add those in the post_terms values like so:
//Filter the Taxonomy Meta on a CPT
function themeprefix_genesis_post_meta_filter( $post_meta ) {
if ( 'coaching_technique' == get_post_type() ) {//swap in CPT name
$post_meta='[[post_categories before="Categorised Under: "]] [[post_tags before="Tagged: "]] [[post_terms taxonomy="difficulty-level" before="Difficulty Level: "]]';//swap in taxonomy and label name
return $post_meta;
}
elseif ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) {
return $post_meta;
}
}
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta','themeprefix_genesis_post_meta_filter', 11 );
The above would give all taxonomy terms, custom, categories and tags.
The code has an elseif option to return just the regular post meta; categories and tags for regular posts.
Thanks to Brad Potter for optimising the code.

Just curious if this is still current and expected to work?
For me it just prints, literally, this part `[post_terms taxonomy=”difficulty-level” before=”Difficulty Level: “]`
As in, all the text, with the brackets, equal signs quotations, etc. So, not like the screenshots at all.
Do you think I did something wrong?
