get parent and childs from hierarchcial taxonomy

by

Yes, you can.

get_terms function takes $args as first param. And you can use the same args as with WP_Term_Query.

Two arguments that may interest you are:

  • child_of – (int) Term ID to retrieve child terms of. If multiple taxonomies are passed, $child_of is ignored. Default 0.
  • parent – (int|string) Parent term ID to retrieve direct-child terms of.

So if you want to get only the terms that are children of Event term, then you can use this code:

$terms = get_terms( array(
    'taxonomy' => 'events_category',
    'hide_empty' => false,
    'child_of' => <EVENTS_TERM_ID>,  // <-- you have to replace this with the term id of Events term.
) );

This way you don’t need any ifs in printing code any more.
