Read the documentation for the_category(): Display category list for a post in either HTML list or custom format. If the first argument isn’t given, or is ” then the categories will be output in a <ul>. To output them comma-separated, as an example, set the $separator to ‘, ‘: <?php the_category( ‘, ‘ ); ?> … Read more
This looks like a plain PHP question at the first sight, but there is also at least one WordPress issue. Let’s start with that. You should not use include or TEMPLATEPATH in a theme. There are alternatives for include in WordPress: get_template_part() and locate_template(). And the constants TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH will be deprecated in the … Read more
The hook you want is create_{$taxonomy}. E.g. add_action(‘create_category’, ‘my_theme_do_something’, 10, 2); function my_theme_do_something($term_id, $taxonomy_term_id){ // do some things }
It’s far easier to use built-in loop functions such as pagination when you use a category template based on the template hierarchy. You mentioned using the category ID to load posts into your custom template page, but if you instead name the template file based on the category ID, you can simply use the default … Read more
my solution: $catid=’24’ $cats = get_category ($catid); if ($cats) {$category_link = $cats->slug; if ( $parent = $cats->parent ) { $category_link = get_category_parents($parent, false, “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”, true) . $category_link; } }
You can resolve this issue by simply specifying the taxonomy you want to display. $dropdown = wp_dropdown_categories( array( ‘name’ => ‘category_id[]’, ‘hide_empty’ => false, ‘echo’ => false, // Set taxonomy for product categories. ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’, ) ); Before posting here, you should at least do some research on how this code snippet worked for … Read more
I dont quite understand how it’s less easier to manage a category… So you have Category -> Post but instead you want Page -> Category -> Post It doesn’t make sense in what you are trying to do. And and if your trying to link categories into pages just so you can include them in … Read more
You can use wp_list_categories or get_categories, just pass hide_empty = 0 to it. This will get you even those categories which do not have any posts associated with them. Ex: $cats = get_categories(array(‘hide_empty’ => 0));
Generally speaking this should produce the structure you’re looking for. It’s 4 separate WP_query loops, and each loop pulls in posts from the category named. <div id=”portfolio”> <div class=”col”> <?php $cat1 = new WP_query(array(‘category_name’ => ‘design’)); if($cat1->have_posts()) : while($cat1->have_posts()) : $cat1->the_post(); ?> <div class=”item”> <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) { the_post_thumbnail(); } ?> </div> <?php endwhile; endif; ?> … Read more
get_term_children returns an array or an object (WP_Error) and you are treating it like a string when you try to feed it to substr. I am not sure what you are trying to do with that line of code but in general you need to check that you are dealing with an array and not … Read more
