You can’t set query parameters after the query happens, set them before you make the query- $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘articles’, ‘paged’ => $paged, ); if( some condition ) $args[‘tax_query’] = array( your tax params ); $query = new WP_Query( $args );
get_the_category() only works with the default taxonomy, per the Codex page; you probably need to use get_the_terms() instead. So you’d replace your get_the_category() call with get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘brands’ );, if I’m not mistaken.
You can use get_the_terms(). I’ve adapted the following from an example on that page: $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘visits’ ); if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) : $visits_name = array(); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { $visits_name[] = $term->name; } $terms_list = join( “, “, $visits_name ); echo $terms_list; endif; EDIT: … Read more
Take a look at the Codex: taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php – If the taxonomy were sometax, and taxonomy’s term were someterm WordPress would look for taxonomy-sometax-someterm.php. In the case of Post Formats, the taxonomy is ‘post_format’ and the terms are post-format-{format}. i.e. taxonomy-post_format-post-format-link.php taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php – If the taxonomy were sometax, WordPress would look for taxonomy-sometax.php taxonomy.php You registered … Read more
The name of the current taxonomy term is in the name property of the term object, so, in your loop just echo it: if( $posts->have_posts() ): while( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post(); ?> <div class=”cat-preview”> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/114323/<?php esc_url( the_permalink() ); ?>”><?php the_post_thumbnail (‘medium’); ?></a> <h2><?php echo $term->name; ?></h2> </div><?php endwhile; endif;
I think your problem is here: ‘terms’ => array($clients_terms->slug) You define $clients_terms like so: $clients_terms = get_terms(‘clients’); …which will return an array of objects. But you try to access it as an object in your query args. That should be producing some kind of PHP notice? (Trying to get property of non-object, or something?) Try … Read more
If you’re looking to get in to instant notifications without suffering from backlog, I’d looking in to both Node.js and Socket.io. You should be able to work with them both pretty easily and integrate w/ WordPress. The sample chat application on the Socket.io site isn’t a far cry from what you’d be doing. Basically an … Read more
The post_category you are using is for core categories taxonomy. For custom taxonomies you have to use tax_input. For example, the next code set terms for custom_tax_category and custom_ta_tag taxonomies. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘custom_post_type’, ‘post_title’ => wp_strip_all_tags( $title ), ‘post_content’ => ‘some content’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_author’ => $author_id, ‘tax_input’ => array( ‘custom_tax_category’ … Read more
The issue, I believe, is that if ($stories) is always returning true, een if there are no posts. It’s then looping through the WP-Query elements, not the actual posts. Try this instead: if ( $stories->have_posts() ) { while ( $stories->have_posts() ) : $stories->the_post(); echo get_the_title( get_the_ID() ); endwhile; $query->reset_postdata(); }
Are you sure that you don’t have a page with the same name of the custom post type? If you do, the permalink rewrite rules will get confused and trigger a 404. A very simple solution is: The page that lists the custom post types is called in plural (eg. products) and the actual post … Read more
