Thanks to @ialocin in his comment above, I took his recommendation and adapted it to fit my needs. Traversing the taxonomy hierarchy from the bottom up is actually relatively simple if you understand how WordPress does this from the top down. function origin_trail_ancestor($cat_id = 0, $link = false, $trail = false) { global $wp_query; $anchor … Read more
I found out that I was using pre_get_post on these pages to exclude some things on the taxonomy archive pages. add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_cpt’ ); function exclude_cpt( $query ) { if ( $query->is_tax(‘results_categories’) ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘results’) ); } return $query; } BUT I forgot to make sure this was only happening in the main … Read more
There is not a file for this. get_terms( $taxonomies, $args ) So you will need to create your own template then select it from the list of templates in a page in.
The main problem is that, in your $_POST loop, $value is an array, yet you apply htmlspecialchars to it, which will vomit and return back nothing. If you haven’t done so already, set WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php – developing without it is simply not an option. Regardless, let’s fix that dirty $_POST loop: … Read more
You can just grab the first post from the main query and see which post type it is: if ( have_posts() ) { $post_type = $wp_query->posts[0]->post_type; } If you run this code directly in a main template file you should be fine, but if it’s in a function you will need to call global $wp_query; … Read more
There is only one default term in WordPress, that is the term uncategorized from the taxonomy category. This term is created when WordPress is first installed. This term’s ID will always be 1 if it is not altered in any other way by some custom code from a custom theme or plugin. Term ids, like … Read more
MHO is that you should stay away from ACF as much as possible, but putting this a side your question is really what is better to use post meta fields or taxonomies, for which the answer will depend on other factors. For example do you want to easily see in the value as a filter … Read more
Posts are things Taxonomies and terms are types or classifications of things E.g. I could have a post type animal, with animals such as “Betsy”, “Rover”, and “Mittens”. I can then have a taxonomy called species, that contains terms such as cat, dog, budgie. I can then assign the “Mittens” post to the cat term … Read more
Use get_the_terms to fetch the post’s term, then use get_ancestors to get an array of that term’s parent IDs. $tax = ‘category’; $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), $tax ); if( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){ // check for and output any ancestors $ancestors = array_reverse(get_ancestors( $terms[0]->term_id, $tax )); if( $ancestors ){ foreach( $ancestors as … Read more
You forgot to start a new query. And if you dont use have post on your custom query, you will get the main current query, in your case is your single. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘crew’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 10 ); $your_custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); // is that you forgot // The Loop … Read more
