Are you looking for a list of the current post’s categories and parents, or just a general list of categories? If the former, you can use get_category_parents(). If you’re in The Loop, for example: <?php if( have_posts() ) : while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // Post stuff // … $cats = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ); foreach( … Read more
Well, you already have the two particular category IDs, so list the sub-categories. Like so: $cat_list_1 = wp_list_categories(array( ‘echo’ => 1, ‘child_of’ => FIRST_CAT_ID_HERE, ‘title_li’ => ‘A Name for This’, ‘depth’ => 2, // or whatever you like )); $cat_list_2 = wp_list_categories(array( ‘echo’ => 1, ‘child_of’ => SECOND_CAT_ID_HERE, ‘title_li’ => ‘Another Name for This’, ‘depth’ … Read more
What you are calling “filter” is just a HTML select element. You need the put the select element in a form and filter the posts based on the selected option of this select element. For example, for the frontend: The form: <form method=”post” action=”<?php echo get_post_type_archive_link(‘rlt_rule’);?>”> <?php $filter_taxonomy = ‘rlt_rule_headline’; wp_dropdown_categories( array( ‘show_option_all’ => ‘Show … Read more
I was able to achieve this by, funnily enough, using with get_pages() and WP_Query(). I wanted a reusable function that would return a WP_Query array that I could loop through, so I came up with this: function returnChildGeographies($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
