I was able to achieve this by, funnily enough, using with get_pages() and WP_Query(). I wanted a reusable function that would return a WP_Query array that I could loop through, so I came up with this: function returnChildGeographies($geoID, $geoType, $grandChildren = false) { $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘geographies’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_title’, … Read more
Yes, that is how the hierarchical setting works. Post types are independent entities. You can’t mix and match them just like you can make a “Post” the child of a “Page” or the other way around. So… Is there a way to accomplish this or is this a WordPress limitation? This is intentional behavior. I … Read more
Because a Post Type is stored in the database under the wp_posts table column post_type. The reason a post type can’t have a parent post_type is because there is no database taxonomy mapping like there is for a post categories. http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
I think that you need only to change the way get_permalink create url for the cpt, ignoring the parent. You can do it adding a filter to ‘post_type_link’ hook and then regenerate the permalink for the product cpt in the same way is done in core, just ignoring the parent: add_filter(‘post_type_link’, ‘reset_light_link’, 999, 3); function … Read more
Use get_ancestors() and count the returned array: that’s the number of ancestors a term has. /** * Count a term’s ancestors. * * @param int $term_id * @param string $taxonomy * @return int */ function wpse_57512_count_ancestors( $term_id = FALSE, $taxonomy = FALSE ) { if ( FALSE === $term_id and ! empty ( get_queried_object()->taxonomy ) … Read more
If you are looking to link the subcategory in your permalink only, here you go. Just check the child category only. Sub-category and category in permalink structure
You can use get_ancestors for this: get_ancestors( $term_id, ‘taxonomy’ ); Of course this will only work on hierarchical elements. Additionally, this will only work reasonably well if only one term per level is assigned, take a look at my comment here and my answer here to get a little bit deeper insight into that.
I solved by force refreshing the cache (by @passatgt). i.e., place this line after the insertion: delete_option(“{$taxonomy}_children”); Thanks!
