After using the Chrome inspector on the “Appearance > Menus” categories panel I was able to sniff out the hidden form values that are passed when one manually adds a category to a custom menu via the wizard: <li> <label class=”menu-item-title”> <input type=”checkbox” class=”menu-item-checkbox” name=”menu-item[-11][menu-item-object-id]” value=”181″> Category One</label> <input type=”hidden” class=”menu-item-db-id” name=”menu-item[-11][menu-item-db-id]” value=”0″> <input type=”hidden” … Read more

There is no concept of “primary” term in WordPress. Taxonomies are grouping mechanism. Post belongs to multiple terms on equal terms (no pun intended). No term is “more” of a group than the rest. From brief description of your use case, intuitively Artists would be much better defined as CPT too. But then it comes … Read more
wp_set_post_terms() uses wp_set_object_terms(). There is an action hook called set_object_terms which fires on successful setting of an object’s terms. The action hook looks like this do_action ( ‘set_object_terms’, int $object_id, array $terms, array $tt_ids, string $taxonomy, bool $append, array $old_tt_ids ) What we can do here is, inside our action callback function, we can check … Read more
Here’s how I did it. Just add a conditional that checks if the page being loaded is an admin page or not. If it is an admin page, set hierarchical to false, otherwise set hierarchical to true. Like so: $args = array( ‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘labels’ => $labels, ‘show_ui’ => true, ‘query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ … Read more
I wanted to provide you with a few ideas but once I started I couldn’t stop myself and wrote this little plugin with an obscure name to get you started. <?php /* Plugin Name: WPSE Crowded Cats Plugin URI: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/43419/how-do-i-create-a-way-for-users-to-assign-categories-to-a-post-from-the-frontend Description: Allow visitors to change categories of posts.

Filter category_link so WordPress creates slashed URLs for categories, and redirect_canonical so it accepts those URLs: add_filter( ‘category_link’, ‘wpse_71666_trailingslash_cat_url’ ); add_filter( ‘redirect_canonical’, ‘wpse_71666_trailingslash_cat_url’, 20, 2 ); function wpse_71666_trailingslash_cat_url( $url, $request=”” ) { if ( ‘category_link’ === current_filter() ) return rtrim( $url, “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ) . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”; if ( “$url/” === $request and is_category() ) return $request; … Read more
Woocommerce stores ‘order’ metakeys in the table wp_woocommerce_termmeta. The mechanism it uses is the same as menu_order for posts. Something like this should work: $terms = get_terms(‘product_cat’); //sort $terms somehow $i = -1; foreach ($terms as $term) { $i++; update_woocommerce_term_meta( $term->id, ‘order’, $i); } The same procedure can be used to sort other Woocommerce taxonomies … Read more
Excluding categories with pre_get_posts() I found that excluding a category via pre_get_posts() and set_query_var() would work fine except for widgets. The Recent Post Widget would only exclude the category when using $query->set() instead. <?php /** * Does NOT apply to the Recent Posts widget. */ function glck1403271109_exclude_categories( $query ) { $excluded = array( ‘1’, ‘2’ … Read more
