That happens because WordPress reads your old post name as category name now – and it cannot find that category. Solution: filter 404_template and try to find the post and its permalink. Then redirect. <?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- /* Plugin Name: Redirect to category */ add_filter( ‘404_template’, ‘t5_redirect_to_category’ ); function t5_redirect_to_category( $template ) … Read more
You can go with two queries, the first to get your taxonomies like this : $categories = get_categories(); More infos about the params here. And then browse your category collections and get the first n posts of it like this : foreach($categories as $cat) { //get the $n posts from this category $post_query = new … Read more
Well, WordPress has some integrated functions for that. Two of those would be get_category_by_slug (Codex link) or get_category_link (Codex link). I am not sure what of_get_option() returns, but those two might help you.
This is going to be a ton of code and a ton of explanation. Most of which can be copy and paste but I suggest taking the time to understand what’s going on and why. First thing to understand is that WordPress does not have Taxonomy Metadata but it may someday. This means that we … Read more
You can use a tax query with include_children set to false: $query = new WP_Query( array( ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘your-category-slug’, ‘include_children’ => false, ), ), ) );
You are missing “foreach” loop. Try this way $latest_cpt = get_posts(“post_type=event”); foreach ( $latest_cpt as $cpt_post ) { $theidone =$cpt_post->ID; $this_post_id = $theidone; //get_the_ID(); $key_2_value = get_post_meta( $this_post_id, ‘custom_select’, true ); if( ! empty( $key_2_value )) { $thisisworking = $key_2_value ; ;} echo $thisisworking; }
Automatic Category selection
Adding relevant categories to related post
Posts and Categories are tied together. Your best bet is creating custom post type that supports only your taxonomy. This way, your posts (which are now under your custom post type) will not have any conflict with wordpress assigning default category. If you explain your scenario with more details, I will be in better position … Read more
You need get_categories() with an include argument: if (isset($_GET[‘cat’])) { $this_category = get_categories( array( ‘include’ => $_GET[‘cat’] ) ); var_dump($this_category); } You will get an array of stdClass objects containing category data. There are several ways to parse that but this might do: if (isset($_GET[‘cat’])) { $this_category = get_categories( array( ‘include’ => $_GET[‘cat’] ) ); … Read more
