To list the options for a custom taxonomy you need to query the taxonomy terms. To do that you use get_terms() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms // We are assuming color is the name of the taxonomy $colors = get_terms( ‘color’, array( ‘orderby’ => ‘name’, ‘hide_empty’ => 0 )); // Now loop through the colors and spit out the … Read more
I did some tests and it seems that we can use either one as long as the taxonomy or post type has been registered earlier in the script.
You can use this function to output the parent category ID and then style off of that. <?php function wpse_74737_category_top_parent_id($catid) { while ($catid) { $cat = get_category($catid); $catid = $cat -> category_parent; $catParent = $cat -> cat_ID; } return $catParent; } And then call this in your body class: <?php echo wpse_74737_category_top_parent_id( $cat->term_id ); ?>
You need to use get_ancestors(). Assuming your post is only in one category, the following code should work (if it’s in multiple you’ll need to loop through each of the assigned categories to determine the various hierarchies). $category = get_the_category(); $ancestors = get_ancestors( $category[0]->term_id, ‘category’ ); $direct_parent_id = $ancestors[0]; If you want to get the … Read more
Your code is failing because the first term is the parent term, caused by checking both the parent and the child term. You dont need to do that, if I have a heirarchy A->B->C->post, and I add the post to the C category, it’s automatically a part of its parents
Create a custom taxonomy (as you have) except change the hierarchical argument to true for the meta box to behave like the default categories taxonomy: ‘hierarchical’ => true
I think (at least part of) the problem is that you’ve got a nested loop where you don’t really need one. The output of get_terms() is an array of objects. So $categories should be an array of objects. You loop through this array of objects here: foreach ( $categories as $category ) { $id = … Read more
To cut a long story short the answer to the question is Yes. In the end I was able to create: tax-1/tax-2/cpt-1/cpt-1-post/cpt-2/cpt-2-post/ and another structure: tax-1/tax-2/cpt-1/cpt-1-post/cpt-2/custom-field/cpt-2-post/ I used Types from http://wp-types.com/ to create the hierarchical custom taxonomy, the custom post types, custom fields, but most importantly the parent/child relationship between custom post types. That plugin … Read more
term_description() returns a string, which might be empty. So the test should be: $term_desc = term_description(); # debug print ‘<pre>’ . htmlspecialchars( print_r( $term_desc, TRUE ), ENT_QUOTES, ‘utf-8’, FALSE ) . ‘</pre>’; if ( ” !== $term_desc ) { echo “<div id=’term-desc’>$term_desc</div>”; }
To achieve permalinks like http://example.com/localpage/%post_name%/, you will need to set the rewrite argument when registering the custom post type: $annoucement_args = array( … ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘with_front’ => false ), … ); I don’t think that using custom taxonomies is the best idea here. Why not use custom meta boxes instead? See this WP Explorer … Read more
