get_term_by() just returns the first matching term, ‘first’ meaning some internal order in MySQL. If having multiple terms with the same name matters in your case, don’t rely on get_term_by() alone.
(Probably better to use get_the_terms). $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $pid, ‘custom_category’, array(‘fields’=>’ids’)); Get an array of term ids (will always been array, even if it is an array of one): $ids = wp_list_pluck( $terms, ‘term_id’ ); If you just want one id… then ‘pop’ out the last id: $id = array_pop($ids); See also PHP docs on … Read more
At first, try passing the Taxonomy as a string: $children = get_term_children($term->term_id, ‘locations’); The function get_category_children produces a string as return, so you can just echo it. the function get_term_children, however, returns an array. To see the contents of the array, try print_r( $children ); instead of echo. The last thing to keep in mind … Read more
When you create a term for a hierarchical taxonomy, if you don’t specify a parent, its parent ID is set to 0. In other words, it becomes a parent term. Edited with regards to comments: Add specifically each term you wish to add to the post (parent terms aren’t automatically added if their children are). … Read more
The meta_key field for the wp_postmeta table is set as varchar type entries with a length of 255 characters. Seems pretty lengthy. It’s meta_value partner parameter is set as longtext type. As for the term length, both name and slug are set as varchar with a length of 200 characters each in the wp_terms table.
You can use wp_dropdown_categories(): Display or retrieve the HTML dropdown list of categories. $args = array( ‘show_count’ => 1, ‘hierarchical’ => 1, ‘taxonomy’ => ‘my_taxonomy’, ); wp_dropdown_categories( $args );
The problem you are facing is that get_the_terms() returns an array (or false or a WP_Error-Object), not a string. So, assuming that you have multiple terms for images, you could use a code like this: if( $labels && !is_wp_error( $labels ) ) { foreach( $labels as $label ) { $labelarray[] = $label->name; } $labelstring = … Read more
Instead of get_the_terms try using get_terms and set the hierarchal argument to true. Also make sure you show empty so you are not hiding your empty categories. Try something like this: $args = array( ‘hide_empty’ => false, ‘hierarchical’ => true ); $terms = get_terms(‘portfolio_pt’, $args); foreach($terms as $term) echo $term->name;
You can use the count property of the taxonomy term and if it is > 1, then show the term linked to archive. // inside loop, get the terms of a custom taxonomy for the current post $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), ‘your_custom_taxonomy’ ); // cycle the terms and display the name, linked to archive if … Read more
You can use get_term_by() for this <?php $term_id = array_pop(get_sub_field(‘sector_selector’)); $catinfo = get_term_by( ‘id’, $term_id, ‘name_of_the_taxonomy’ ); print $catinfo->slug;
