Ok. I’ve found a solution. Thanks to this great article on Smashing Magazine The code to retrieve category description from any taxonomy term would be : <?php echo (get_term_by(‘slug’, ‘your-term-name’, ‘your-taxonomy-name’)->description); ?> As simple as that
i think that wp_list_categories show categories already formated with <li> tags and you should try using get_categories which leaves the display to you. eg show list of categories and the description $all_categories=get_categories(); echo “<ul>”; foreach($all_categories as $categories_item) { echo “<li>”.$categories_item->description.”</li>”;//you get the idea } echo “</ul>”; EDIT: i saw exactly what you need here
One possibility: <?php $sub_cats = get_categories(‘parent=” . get_query_var(“cat’)); if( $sub_cats ) : foreach( $sub_cats as $sub_cat ) : $sub_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘category__in’ => array( $sub_cat->term_id ), ‘posts_per_page’ => -1) ); if ( $sub_query->have_posts() ) : while( $sub_query->have_posts() ) : $sub_query->the_post(); //your output// endwhile; endif; endforeach; endif; ?> http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_categories http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
The following should work… add_action(‘get_terms_args’,’my_order_cats’,10,2); function my_order_cats($args,$taxonomies){ //Check we are admin side if(is_admin()){ $taxonomy = $taxonomies[0]; $screen = get_current_screen(); //Check screen ID and taxonomy and changes $args where appropriate. if(($screen->id==’edit-category’||$screen->id==’post’) && $taxonomy==’category’){ $args[‘orderby’]=’id’; //preserves order of subcategories. $args[‘order’]=’asc’; //or desc } } return $args; } It preserves the order of subcategories (i.e. children always appear … Read more
I don’t think you need to get the list of authors in a given category or use a bunch of individual WP_Query‘s, you just need to order posts by author and check to see when the author changes. Two parts to this. One to modify the loop on category pages to order by author. You … Read more
As far as I can see from the link you mentioned, there are no icons for categories, only avatars for authors. Is that what you mean? If you do want category icons, take a look at some plugins in the WordPress.org directory. Here’s an example: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-icons/
To display pages in a category archive index: Add category taxonomy to the Page post-type Static pages, by default, do not have any taxonomies associated with them, including the category taxonomy. So you need to register the category taxonomy for the page post type, using register_taxonomy_for_object_type(): function wpse94150_register_category_taxonomy_for_page_post_type() { register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘category’, ‘page’ ); } add_action( … Read more
I will also add that this is a custom post type, but that shouldn’t matter. In fact, this is your problem. By default, the Category Archive Index will only query posts from the post post-type. You need to tell WordPress to do otherwise, by adding your custom post type to the query via pre_get_posts: function … Read more
Edit If this is your goal: I want to use the WordPress gallery to show all pictures of one category in a gallery (on a fixed page), which I do not have to update all the time by inserting the pictures manually. Then the easiest way to accomplish it is via custom page template. Create … Read more
Okay, I’ve found the answer. This is not possible. So I had to build the permalink manually this way: <ul class=”list-items categories”> <?php $category_ids = get_all_category_ids(); $args = array( ‘orderby’ => ‘slug’, ‘parent’ => 0 ); $categories = get_categories( $args ); foreach ( $categories as $category ) { echo ‘<li><a href=”‘ . $category->slug . ‘” … Read more
