Yes, as the documentation for wp_terms_checklist() stated, you can use the walker argument (which is part of the $args parameter for the wp_terms_checklist_args hook) to use a custom walker which modifies the output of the Category checklist generated by wp_terms_checklist(), e.g. the one in the “Categories” meta box on wp-admin/post.php. Example where the custom walker … Read more
Approach number one If you are hard-coding a theme and you are writing your own category.php template, the first thing you have to do is to know what category you are displaying. You can use get_queried_object() to do that, which will return the current queried object. $category = get_queried_object(); In your case you are calling … Read more
The primary difference between the two is that wp_get_post_terms is not cached and always goes straight to the database, in fact get_the_terms uses the same API internally, wp_get_post_terms is a wrapper around wp_get_object_terms, which is also used by get_the_terms but with caching and fewer configurable options. However, this is an X Y question. You shouldn’t … Read more
Feed links have to use the category slug (not the name) (“Blog-Artikel” –> “blogpost” in the case of the site in question) Feed links have to conform with the localization of the page offering the feed (i.e. “category” –> “kategorie” for a WP site with a Germain domain. Funny enough, the WP site language of … Read more
You can write a get_the_terms filter to change the other the category values are returned, e.g. function sort_the_terms( $terms, $post_id, $taxonomy ) { if ( ‘categories’ === $taxonomy ) { usort( $terms, function( $term1, $term2 ) { // Better sort logic here return $term1->name <=> $term2->name; } ); } return $terms; } add_filter( ‘get_the_terms’, ‘sort_the_terms’, … Read more
Use taxonomy_labels_category filter (documented here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/taxonomy_labels_taxonomy/) in order to change any of the labels that you need changed. Here’s what works for me: add_filter( ‘taxonomy_labels_category’, ‘filter_category_labels’ ); function filter_category_labels( $labels ) { $labels->menu_name=”Jurisdiction”; return $labels; } You will have to change quite a few other values in the $labels object though. Here’s a full list … Read more
No, media is attached to posts/pages using the post_parent column. This works because media is actually a post of type attachment in the database. Categories however are not posts, and the way you would attach them is by assigning the page to that category. This leads us to a contradiction, how do you attach a … Read more
when visiting the old structure URL, it will NOT be redirected to the new one That’s because: The default category taxonomy is hierarchical and so does the permalink structure, hence its rewrite rules use a RegEx pattern like /category/(.+?)/? which will match any category path even if it contains invalid/non-existent term slugs. ( That (.+?) … Read more
For categories/taxonomies you can use get_queried_object to get the current category. From there you can easily get the name. So from your example: if ( is_category() ) { $cat = get_queried_object(); $heading = $cat->name; }

I know how to display children categories I think i need to get term_id somehow On a term archive page, e.g. at example.com/category/foo/ (for the default category taxonomy), You can use get_queried_object() to retrieve the term object … Read more
