I’m not sure, if you already found a solution for this, but when I searched for a similar one yesterday, I found this tutorial on WPtuts very helpful. It uses radio buttons, but you can easily modify it to get it working with checkboxes as well. http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/how-to-use-radio-buttons-with-taxonomies/
If you’re already using Advanced Custom Fields (which you should be!) you can create an order field for your categories from which you can set them manually in numerical order. Then all you have to do is: $categories = get_categories( $args ); usort($categories, function($a, $b) { return get_field(“category_order”, “category_”.$a->term_id) – get_field(“category_order”, “category_”.$b->term_id); }); foreach ($categories … Read more
I had missed that you can easily add fields to taxonomy terms with Advanced Custom Fields: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/
EDIT REVISIT NO 2 I have never touched the Transient API, until today when I saw @MikeSchinkel answer in this post. This inspired me to revisit this post once again. After some testing, I came up with the following: Time to execute went down from ~0.07 seconds to ~0.002seconds Database query time went down by … Read more
Use get_terms with a parent argument. From the Codex page for that function, emphasis mine: parent (integer) Get direct children of this term (only terms whose explicit parent is this value). If 0 is passed, only top-level terms are returned. Default is an empty string. Untested, but this should do it. $categories = get_terms( ‘category’, … Read more
To get the category object use get_category (codex). It’s easy if you know the name, slug or ID, but if you don’t you could use is_category to check on which category you are and pass the ID to get_category.
I was having the same issue and the problem was actually coming from the way the js was dynamically generating tinyMCE. Prior to v.4, it was: tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand(‘mceAddControl’, true, id); With 4, you need to use: tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand(‘mceAddEditor’, true, id); Have a look at wherever your function ‘wp_tiny_mce’ is – might be in there.
The problem is that to make the update method of widget class work, the name inputs on the form method should be set via $this->get_get_field_name(‘name_of_the_field’); but wp_category_checklist has no argument to setup the name of the inputs (checkboxes). However, wp_category_checklist uses a walker class to print the checkboxes and allow customizing it. By default the … Read more
Why does the problem in pagination happens? Say you have a category named wiki. Now, when you have a category URL like: https://example.com/wiki (instead of https://example.com/category/wiki) and say page or post URL like: https://example.com/a-page or https://example.com/category-slug/a-post WordPress has really no way of knowing if https://example.com/wiki/page/2 is a the second page of another page / post, … Read more
I was able to get this to work pretty easily actually. I am now able to have my category base in my permalinks. This allows me to now have URLs like: http://www.new1450.dev/industries/ {Main blog post only showing category selection} http://www.new1450.dev/industries/development/ {a parent category} http://www.new1450.dev/industries/development/parent-category-i/ {child of parent} http://www.new1450.dev/industries/development/parent-category-i/child-category-i/ {child of child} http://www.new1450.dev/industries/development/parent-category-i/child-category-i/some-cool-post/ {actual post} This … Read more
