Next Up: The Nile Cruise Taxonomy Audit
Once you have that tour saved as a draft, we can shift our focus to the Nile Cruise category. We need to check on the custom departure date taxonomy designed to dynamically organize the cruise itineraries by scheduling days. Specifically, we should verify that filtering those packages is still cleanly populating your custom loops on the front end, ensuring the layout remains perfectly intact and that no absolute-positioned link wrappers have interfered with the grid design. Whenever you are ready, let me know if we are heading to the live front-end filters or if you have a screenshot of the backend taxonomy settings to review!
