Any tax_query can take an include_children argument (see Codex) that defaults to true. So just add that to your code and it should work: <?php $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 100, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘ait-dir-item-category’, ‘field’ => ‘id’, ‘terms’ => 75, ‘include_children’ => false ) ), ‘post_type’ => ‘ait-dir-item’ … Read more
I remembered that once I had to do same thing and wrote a custom sql query… it was painful, as @Rarst said. However I’ll post the function I wrote, and there isn’t much to explain, is a complex SQL query where there is the intersection of 2 checks to get all the term of a … Read more
Checkboxes are a bit different than text inputs. The main changes below are in the save function and with handling the checked attribute. The value of show_category will be yes if it’s been checked or an empty string for unchecked. Keep in mind that if the show_category meta was never saved it will be unset, … Read more
The code below enables categories for pages. An example page template is provided which loops through the categories assigned to the page and displays the posts for each category. If you want to limit the user to selecting only one category, you can use a solution such as Taxonomy Single Term. Associate the category taxonomy … Read more
<?php // select all sub categories of parent cat with id ‘8’ $categories = get_terms( ‘category’, array( ‘orderby’ => ‘ID’, ‘parent’ => 8 ) ); // For each sub category find last post foreach ( $categories as $category ) { $args = array( ‘cat’ => $category->term_id, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘1’, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, … Read more
I found this plugin called WP Admin Category Search https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-category-search/ It is not looking very popular but it seems to work.
When you create custom taxonomy use post as object type for the taxonomy: register_taxonomy(‘your_custom_taxonomy’, ‘post’, $args); New custom taxonomy will appear at the end of “Posts” submenu, below “Tags”. To change this order add this code (to functions.php or plugin file): add_filter(‘menu_order’, ‘reorder_post_submenu’, 15); function reorder_post_submenu($menu_order) { global $submenu; if (isset($submenu, $submenu[‘edit.php’])) { $i_offset = … Read more
This is a bit broad to give you the full code, so ‘I’ll give you an outline. The idea is to loop through all categories and count how many parents each category has using get_term_parents_list (please look carefully what this function returns). This will tell you how deep the level of this category is. Then … Read more
Yes and no. The main ‘uncategorized’ category is the main one built into the core, and shouldn’t be removed. You can rename it to something else. If they are still attached to the posts, then you could delete it from the database tables directly.
I’d look into using custom post types for the repetitive parts of your permalinks. Cities can be categories, and the restaurant types can be post types. It’s the perfect use for post types, and it helps solve the problem. Unfortunately I can only see it helping with one sub-level. If you need sub-sub-categories you’ll have … Read more
