I am doing something similar, but for member pages. I was able to use the code in my answer linked here which parses the information in the URL which can be manipulated within WordPress. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/91399/12920 Here’s a snippet of the URL handling portion which perhaps will get you started? Granted you’re doing something different than … Read more
Check that you actually have categories before creating the list, and move the lines that echo the <ul> inside the conditional. $categories = get_the_category(); if (!empty($categories)) { foreach($categories as $category){ $parent = $category->parent; if($parent != 0){ echo ‘<ul style=”background:#000″>’; wp_list_categories(“child_of={$parent}&title_li”); echo ‘</ul>’; } } } This will generate multiple lists, not just one. Here is … Read more
I found Ian Stewart‘s Theme Development tutorial a wonderful one to start from the scratch with a very little knowledge on WordPress. How To Create a WordPress Theme: The Ultimate WordPress Theme Tutorial Hope the explanation there could help you a lot to understand which code block’s for what. So you can modify yours as … Read more
I just double checked and WooCommerce runs the product category description through the_content filters, which means that it should run shortcodes. WooCommerce has plenty of shortcodes, see their documentation Including featured products: [featured_products per_page=”12″ columns=”4″] The downside to that is that the featured products might not all be from that specific category. You didn’t mention … Read more
Add a new menu called category-menu: if( function_exists( “wp_nav_menu’ ) ) { add_theme_support( ‘nav-menus’ ); register_nav_menus( array( ‘primary-menu’ => __( ‘Primary Menu’, ‘woothemes’ ) )); register_nav_menus( array( ‘top-menu’ => __( ‘Top Menu’, ‘woothemes’ ) )); register_nav_menus( array( ‘category-menu’ => __( ‘Category Menu’, ‘woothemes’ ) )); } And output it with the conditional is_category(): if( function_exists( … Read more
Rather than creating pages and assigning a template, I would use the category_template filter to load a specific template for all those particular categories. In this example I use a hardcoded array, but this could be adapted to load an option which stores the category slugs you want the template applied to. function wpa_category_template( $templates=”” … Read more
All you’ll need to do is count() the get_the_category() results to determine how many categories your post is in, and check it along with your in_category(). For example: while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); if( in_category( $myCatsToExcludeArray ) && count( get_the_category( $post->ID ) ) == 1 ) { do something } endwhile;
To solve the problem 1, you could hook to add_attachment and edit_attachment hook. add_action(‘add_attachment’, ‘wpse_set_attachment_category’); add_action(‘edit_attachment’, ‘wpse_set_attachment_category’); function wpse_set_attachment_category( $post_ID ) { // if attachment already have categories, stop here if( wp_get_object_terms( $post_ID, ‘category’ ) ) return; // no, then get the default one $post_category = array( get_option(‘default_category’) ); // then set category if default … Read more
I think wp_update_term should do the trick: wp_update_term(1, ‘category’, array( ‘name’ => ‘A Real Category Name’, ‘slug’ => ‘real-category-name’ ));
There is no default way to sort terms randomly. There are ways to do this using php. First, you’ll need to remove the number argument from get_terms. As your code currently stands, you are getting 5 terms and shuffling them around. For this to work, you’ll need to retrieve all the terms from your taxonomy, … Read more
