A curious journey of a “cat“ Let’s assume we have the following category hierarchy: where the relevant rows from the wp_term_taxonomy table are: We want to query all posts in the animals category where the id is 65: $query = new WP_Query( array( ‘cat’ => 65 ) ); and try to understand why the resulting … Read more
OK. There where multiple issues here; wp_terms, wp_termmeta and wp_term_taxonomy all had their ID’s set not to AUTO_INCREMENT. Changing these and removing the 0 values from each table seems to have resolved this – very odd though. Big thanks to @N00b for helping!
I’m not sure if I understand exactly what your trying to accomplish but I’ve outlined a way for you to sort the order of terms associated with the current post. Html for the term order metabox: echo ‘<ul id=”the-terms”>’ $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy ); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo ‘<li class=”item” … Read more
I’ve been searching around for the same answer to your question and running into the exact same issues, and really appreciate your thorough research. I’m definitely +1 here for proposing this addition! To attempt to answer 2) – I don’t think there’s a good reason to exclude it. I think WordPress’s taxonomy terms are woefully … Read more
Yes, there isn’t currently built-in support for CPT archives, but that doesn’t mean you can’t extend WP to provide it. I just did this myself the other day… This won’t create the date-based archives you’re looking for, but it will give you virtual archive behavior for custom post types. Adding the date should just be … Read more

This suppose you have a custom post type “sponsors” and a custom taxonomy “types”… function custom_meta_box() { remove_meta_box( ‘tagsdiv-types’, ‘sponsors’, ‘side’ ); add_meta_box( ‘tagsdiv-types’, ‘Types’, ‘types_meta_box’, ‘sponsors’, ‘side’ ); } add_action(‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘custom_meta_box’); /* Prints the taxonomy box content */ function types_meta_box($post) { $tax_name=”types”; $taxonomy = get_taxonomy($tax_name); ?> <div class=”tagsdiv” id=”<?php echo $tax_name; ?>”> <div class=”jaxtag”> … Read more
Ooh, thank’s for the advices and help (Robert + Peter). The Term confused myself 🙂 This worked for me: $taxonomies=get_taxonomies(”,’names’); wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, $taxonomies, array(“fields” => “names”));
Hooking into save_post action. add_action(‘save_post’, ‘assign_parent_terms’, 10, 2); function assign_parent_terms($post_id, $post){ if($post->post_type != ‘product’) return $post_id; // get all assigned terms $terms = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, ‘product_cat’ ); foreach($terms as $term){ while($term->parent != 0 && !has_term( $term->parent, ‘product_cat’, $post )){ // move upward until we get to 0 level terms wp_set_post_terms($post_id, array($term->parent), ‘product_cat’, true); $term = get_term($term->parent, … Read more
The easiest way to list terms of custom taxonomy and display them would be to use <?php get_the_term_list( $id, $taxonomy, $before, $sep, $after ) ?> For example in the loop, my custom taxonomy is ‘jobs’ list as li <ul><?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, ‘jobs’, ‘<li class=”jobs_item”>’, ‘, ‘, ‘</li>’ ) ?></ul>
