Here’s more of a complete guide based on the $wp_query object: The Taxonomy First you might want to know in which taxonomy you are, what its name is and retrieve all its available data from the object. // Taxonomy name $taxonomy = get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ); // Taxonomy object get_taxonomy( $taxonomy ); // Taxonomy name get_taxonomy( … Read more
Okay, the following code should do the trick for you: function get_clients_correct_template($single_template) { global $post; if ( ‘clients’ == $post->post_type ) { $_template = false; // Get all the terms for this post $categories = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, ‘clients_categories’ ); if ( $categories && ! is_wp_error( $categories ) ) { global $wp; // I guessed that … Read more
In WordPress 4.4 we will be able to use the long waited term meta so you might use that to store the extra info for your terms. The Term Meta API calls are: Add term meta: Function call: add_term_meta( $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique ); Description: /** * Adds metadata to a term. * * @since … Read more
The hook you’re looking for is created_{$taxonomy} but there’s a another issue. I think the biggest flaw in the logic is putting both states and cities in the same taxonomy. You’ll never be able to differentiate between the two terms ( which is the city and which is the state ). This opens the user … Read more
The above solutions work correctly but aren’t exactly optimized. Here’s a method that queries that database ONCE for the data you’re looking for, and gives you a list of term objects. It can accept a post_type argument, and if one is not supplied, will use the post_type of the current global $post object. function post_type_tags( … Read more
After using the Chrome inspector on the “Appearance > Menus” categories panel I was able to sniff out the hidden form values that are passed when one manually adds a category to a custom menu via the wizard: <li> <label class=”menu-item-title”> <input type=”checkbox” class=”menu-item-checkbox” name=”menu-item[-11][menu-item-object-id]” value=”181″> Category One</label> <input type=”hidden” class=”menu-item-db-id” name=”menu-item[-11][menu-item-db-id]” value=”0″> <input type=”hidden” … Read more
The posts are related to taxonomies (taxonomy/tag) in the wp_3_term_relationships table, where the object_id column is the post’s id, and the term_taxonomy_id is the taxonomy/tag id. Depending on what you want to accomplish, the solution might be to create the same taxonomies at each blog. This way the tax_query should work as normal.
There is no concept of “primary” term in WordPress. Taxonomies are grouping mechanism. Post belongs to multiple terms on equal terms (no pun intended). No term is “more” of a group than the rest. From brief description of your use case, intuitively Artists would be much better defined as CPT too. But then it comes … Read more
TERM METADATA It’s possible to get thumbnails for terms using the new Term Metadata in 4.4. You just also need to define those ahead of time yourself. add_term_meta( int $term_id, string $meta_key, mixed $meta_value, bool $unique = false ) get_term_meta( int $term_id, string $key = ”, bool $single = false ) update_term_meta( int $term_id, string … Read more
I’ve done something like this in the Query Multiple Taxonomies plugin: https://github.com/scribu/wp-query-multiple-taxonomies/blob/master/core.php The good news is that it’s a generic solution: it works for any combination of posts and taxonomies. The bad news is that it might take some effort to figure out how it’s done.
