First of all, what is $post? If you after the global $post, then you have to declare the global in the function. So on the second line you’ll need to put global $post;. Secondly, $term is an object. If you are after the term’s name, use $term->name, for it’s slug $term->slug. See the Codex for … Read more
You’re probably looking for term_exists(): <?php term_exists( $term, $taxonomy, $parent ); ?> $term is required (obviously). Both $taxonomy and $parent are optional, but if you want to determine if a specific taxonomy has a given term, just pass the registered taxonomy name via the $taxonomy parameter.
Custom taxonomies are not meta values, but rather their own thing. I don’t think wp_list_pages() or get_pages() can query based on a taxonomy, so I’d recommend using WP_Query instead: <?php $relevant_pages_args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_parent’ => 65, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘relevance’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘alumni’ … Read more
One plugin that I’ve used successfully is Relevanssi: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/relevanssi/ Also, you could try to make your custom taxonomy into a search filter, like it’s described in this post: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-form-with-custom-taxonomy-dropdown . I’ve used this on my projects and it worked wonders! Hope this helps!
Okay, I feel quite silly, but what it comes down to is you can’t have a custom post type and custom taxonomy with the same name. (Well… you can, but your taxonomy templates won’t work) In my case I changed my content type to “product” and my taxonomy to “products”. This fixes everything along with … Read more
Taxonomies can be shared among multiple post types, but if you’re looking for post types relationships, you can try using the Types plugin (free) with the Views plugin (premium) or code the functionality from Types. I’ve just started playing around with this and it enables easy creation of relationships between post types. Their example: you … Read more
Custom Post Types are a good solution for you what you are trying to achieve. In fact, in almost all cases, where regular Post of Page types don’t fit your use-case, then Custom Post Types will. They should be thought of more as Custom Content Types rather than the aforementioned. That gives a little significance … Read more
From the documentation and its sample code, I cannot see an option to get the downloads categories tree. The function get_downloads returns a one-dimensional array. Maybe a routine could be built to convert it into a multi-dimensional array. Use this to see its contents: $dl = get_downloads(); echo ‘<pre>’ . print_r($dl, true ) . ‘</pre>’; … Read more
See the question / answer on this link. The answer have 2 different solutions, easy with default categories and taxonomies and also a solution with custom taxonomies only for media.
You were close with the code you posted in your comment. The issue is that you only tested for is_main_query, which will limit every query on your site to that single post type. function wpa82763_custom_type_in_categories( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && ( $query->is_category() || $query->is_tag() ) ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘resource’ ) … Read more
