Solved, thanks to nofearinc on the wp.org irc chat! 🙂 https://gist.github.com/mpeshev/cb1cd3c56d06017b3d87 <?php $cat_id = get_query_var(‘cat’); if( ! empty( $cat_id ) ) { $category = get_category( $cat_id, ARRAY_A ); if( ! empty( $category ) ) { // parent category if( $category[‘parent’] === ‘0’ ) { // get child IDs $terms = get_term_children( $cat_id, ‘category’ ); foreach( … Read more
In your category.php ( or custom taxonomy archive template ), you should add the form code in the else case of your check if there are posts e.g. if(have_posts()){ // do the post loop } else { // display a form that takes user details for future posts } If there is no category.php you … Read more
I have recently written a widget that Gets all the terms from the build in taxonomy category and adds them in dropdown in the widget Stores the selected category and uses that category in a custom WP_Query to get and display posts from the selected category You can look through it and adjust as needed: … Read more
Hi @Scott B: UPDATE FROM PRIOR ANSWER: Due you my evidently poor reading comprehension skills(!) where I missed the requirement to filter out children (Thanks @Adam BlackStrom for calling attention to my oversight) I’ve modified the code provided. I think you want to use the list_terms_exclusions filter hook. Add this to your plugin (or others … Read more
get_term_by returns an object by default, so you could output the term name using <?php $term = get_term_by(‘name’, ‘foo’, ‘category’); echo “<div>$term->name</div>”; ?>
Since I’m not sure if you are using single.php for anything else, I am going to suggest that you copy single.php to single-14kgs.php in the theme directory. Once you have done that, modify the following: <?php next_posts_link(); ?> becomes… <?php next_post_link(‘%link’,’%title’,TRUE) ?> and <?php previous_posts_link(); ?> becomes… <?php previous_post_link(‘%link’, ‘%title’, TRUE); ?> The third argument … Read more
In your update_count_callback function do a check for $post->post_status and don’t increment your count if post_status is not private. See this excellent answer on writing a custom update_count_callback callback function. Edit: Misread the question. To override the existing default for the category taxonomy you can create a function that overrides the global $wp_taxonomies variable function … Read more
You have a couple of flaws here and also a few places where you can optimize the code Instead of using get_the_category(), use wp_get_post_terms(). It is a bit faster, and you have the option to just get the term ID’s from the post categories. This is one place where you can optimize your code ID … Read more
get_page_by_path does something similar: function pagefromcat_template_redirect() { if ( ! is_category() ) { return; } $category = get_queried_object(); $page = get_page_by_path( $category->slug ); if ( $page instanceof WP_Post ) { $url = get_permalink( $page ); wp_safe_redirect( $url, 301 ); } } add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘pagefromcat_template_redirect’ );
is_category(‘category-name’) won’t work until after the query is run. If we check source code where those notices are generated, we can see that it’s using get_queried_object, which gets populated with the results of the main query, and at the pre_get_posts stage will still be empty. As an alternate, check the contents of $query->query_vars, which will … Read more
