Don’t stomp on the $wp_query global. Use your own variable to hold your query instead: $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); Then, you can use a little trick to fix pagination. Do this before the loop: global $wp_query; // Store it for safekeeping $temp_wp_query = $wp_query; // Now blank it out $wp_query = null; // … Read more
get_categories() only lists categories, so you shouldn’t be seeing any terms from the custom taxonomy. What you want to use is get_terms() which takes a taxonomy as an argument. As you can read about in this answer, get_terms() is actually used by get_categories(), it just prefills the “taxonomy” argument with “category.” If you swap in … Read more
You could do it in a more dynamic fashion, with a simple get var, or you could get complicated and create some rewrite rules to parse your own URLs. Here’s a quick and simple GET var method – Say you have a taxonomy term at: example.com/alcohol-spirit-type/gin/ This would show posts of both post types associated … Read more
A category is just a taxonomy. And taxonomies are made up of terms. You’ll need to set the post’s terms via wp_set_post_terms. This should be fairly simple: wp_set_post_terms( ’42’, array( ‘term’, ‘terms’, ‘terms’ ), ‘q-categories’ );
Once you have the post’s term(s) (see get_the_terms) you can use get_term_link to get the term’s link: $url = get_term_link(‘category-1′,’portfolio-categories’); You can pass the term object, the term slug, or the term ID. If you pass the term ID it must be cast as an integer.
I’d suggest using a plugin for this. next_post_link and previous_post_link will use the category taxonomy (literally)*, so they will not work as expected with custom taxonomies, which I think you are using here. I’ve used both Smarter Navigation by Scribu and Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus, which are both great plugins for this sort of … Read more
wp_list_categories is what you’re after. It takes taxonomy as an optional argument. Example taken from Codex: <?php $taxonomy = ‘genre’; $orderby = ‘name’; $show_count = 0; // 1 for yes, 0 for no $pad_counts = 0; // 1 for yes, 0 for no $hierarchical = 1; // 1 for yes, 0 for no $title=””; $args … Read more
This could be simple as: global $post; if ( user_can( $post->post_author, ‘manage_options’ )){ // this is an admin } else { // this is not } Assuming the only admins on your site can manage options.
is_tax() returns true on a taxonomy archive page, it has nothing to do with whether terms exist in a taxonomy. you just need to add a check for anything returned from wp_list_categories before outputting any markup: <?php $args_list = array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘productcategory’, ‘title_li’ => __(”), ‘show_count’ => false, ‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘echo’ => ‘0’, … Read more
Just add this code under your category registration. Check the register_taxonomy() function for more details. Usually when you set hierarchical => true taxonomy looks like category and hierarchical => false its looks like tag. register_taxonomy(‘portfolio_tag’,’portfolio’,array( ‘hierarchical’ => false, ‘labels’ => array( ‘name’ => _x( ‘Portfolio Tags’, ‘taxonomy general name’, ‘flowthemes’ ), ‘singular_name’ => _x( ‘Portfolio … Read more
