you can look at line 874 in /wp-includes/taxonomy.php for the function itself. the value has stripslashes applied and then it’s used in a prepared statement, so I’d say it’s safe. but there’s nothing stopping you from checking the value yourself first if you know what parameters it will always fall within, like ctype_alnum or something. … Read more
this will work: $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, ‘wpsc_product_category’ ); foreach($terms as $term){ if($term->parent != 0){ // this category has a parent and its id is $term->parent } }
when using show_option_all with wp_dropdown_categories it gets the value of ‘0’ so you can just check using your $_GET[‘property_types’] if it is ‘0’ you know i’ll need to show results of “all ID 14, 15, 16”

Looks like you got the hang of it.

$cat = $cat[0]->cat_ID; of course if $cat is not empty
I have a plugin, Custom Taxonomy Sort, that allows you to sort taxonomy terms in any order that you might want. After installing the plugin, there will be an order field for each term. It will save these values as integers and will properly sort your taxonomy terms. By default, it will use the order … Read more
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters I recently dealt with a similar, although much more complex problem where I had to guess taxonomy names that had no naming convention. I built a whole bunch of abstracted functionality to automatically build my queries for me – your need is simpler though, you might as well do these as the link above … Read more
I’m not sure what the rest of your code looks like, but you are mixing up your $query variable and you are not sending your $query to the new instance of WP_Query. Also, there is no need to send an array to the “terms” parameter if you are only using one term. Try this. <?php … Read more
