Another update (Sept. 2015): I can use get_term_link after all. The problem was that the string needed to be converted to an integer. Used a Stack Overflow tip for the fastest way to convert it using the (int)$value in PHP. So it would look like this if you don’t want to use the slug in … Read more
Tag and Category archive queries default to querying only the post post type, to add your custom post type to those queries, you can use the pre_get_posts action: function wpa_cpt_tags( $query ) { if ( $query->is_tag() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘object’ ) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpa_cpt_tags’ );
Your code works on a page where a term is queried (a taxonomy term archive), not a single post. For a single post, you need to fetch the terms belonging to that post. $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘your-taxonomy’ ); if ( !empty( $terms ) ){ // get the first term $term = array_shift( $terms ); … Read more
Use get_term_link e.g. to print out a list of actors terms linking to the archives: $terms = get_terms(‘actors’); echo ‘<ul>’; foreach ($terms as $term) { echo ‘<li><a href=”‘.get_term_link($term).'”>’.$term->name.'</a></li>’; } echo ‘</ul>’; However! If what you really mean is the equivilant of the custom post type archive, that lists all the posts of that type, but … Read more
Your custom taxonomy should show up as an option for custom menus, if you have ‘show_in_nav_menus’ => true as a parameter when you register your post type with register_post_type(). You can check all the available parameters in the codex entry http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Arguments
Here is part of the code from one of my projects to setup a similar structure for permalinks (same base slug for both the post type and the taxonomy archives), please note the values of ‘has_archive’ and ‘rewrite’ parameters of both the post type and the taxonomy: add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_post_types’ ); function register_my_post_types() { register_post_type( … Read more
Let say you have “book” post type and “genre” taxonomy. And you want to get books with genre of “scifi”. You can pass the parameter in the url using: ?taxonomy=genre&term=scifi Then you can get those parameter using get_query_var(‘taxonomy’) and get_query_var(‘term’) and add them to the WP_Query arguments. $taxonomy = get_query_var(‘taxonomy’); $term = get_query_var(‘term’); $args = … Read more
You can use register_taxonomy_for_object_type() to use a taxonomy with a post type, without having to touch the post type registration code, example: function wpa_categories_for_events(){ register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘category’, ‘tribe_events’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpa_categories_for_events’ ); To have events appear on the category pages, I believe you have to modify the default category queries via pre_get_posts to add … Read more
Turns out, this is a bug in the core. I was about to report it, but found out that it’s been there for, like years, and applies to custom taxonomies as well. See tickets: #5809, #21950 and #22023. If all goes as planned, it’s set to be fixed in 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2. UPDATE: Yep, … Read more
I thought I would provide another answer as the above one is a little hacky, also I added another layer that gets all taxonomies for a post_type. $post_type=”post”; // Get all the taxonomies for this post type $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( (object) array( ‘post_type’ => $post_type ) ); foreach( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) : // Gets … Read more
