When I implemented something similar for a company that needed multiple authors, we did much the same with an author taxonomy. But in that case, we didn’t use the original author field at all. Basically, it’s not possible to create a standard WP_Query with author=X OR coauthor=Y using standard methods. You’d have to resort to … Read more
How about using the get_term function? If you look at the code the sql it uses is as follows: $_term = $wpdb->get_row( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM $wpdb->terms AS t INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy AS tt ON t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy = %s AND t.term_id = %d LIMIT 1”, $taxonomy, $term) ); which should be … Read more
I want to document this because I just found the answer recently. The problem with having taxonomy is that most developers have the mindset of expecting the taxonomy to be seen inside the post_type url of: http://hostname/post_type/taxonomy_term Instead, you are going to find the url in: http://hostname/taxonomy_slug/taxonomy_term This means that we often may be creating … Read more
This is a typical example of an X-Y problem. Your cron is fine. Your logic not so. You have a function that hooks into save_posts and you think that passing the array $update = array( ‘ID’ => get_the_ID() ) will trigger the action and so your post will update the taxonomy. That’s incorrect, unfortunately. Passing … Read more
get_terms returns an array of objects. You cannot echo an array, if you do, you will just get Array(). What you can do is print_r($array) or var_dump($array) or echo json_encode($array) to see the data it contains. Otherwise, to get single elements, e.g. the name, from the objects, you need to pass $tax_terms through a foreach … Read more
Background & Core Functionality Why a Taxonomy Path Slug Alone Produces a 404 However this slug doesnt work. mysite.com/wiki/help-topics throws a 404. WordPress does not provide a mechanism for “an archive of taxonomy terms” out of the box – that is, neither the template hierarchy nor the WP_Query/WP_Tax_Query logic support a direct display of terms … Read more
Use: $tax = $wp_query->get_queried_object(); printf( __( ‘Posts classified under: %s’, ‘textdomain’ ), ‘<span>’ . $tax->name . ‘</span>’ );
The latest edition should always be the term in that taxonomy with the highest term_id, right? Query get_terms and find the latest edition, then use that term to build the rest of your query… $edition = get_terms(‘edition’,’orderby=none&order=DESC&number=1′); $latest_edition = $edition[0]->slug; Then you can either modify the current query, if that’s what you want to do: … Read more
Post format for the post is term of native post_format taxonomy. It can be set for the post by set_post_format() function. As with any taxonomy you can also use some deeper level function, but really there is no need. And I definitely don’t recommend to try and deal with terms and taxonomies directly in database … Read more
The 0 = 1 happens when the terms don’t exist. You’re creating a query for some set of terms. Before it can add the SQL to that main query, it first does a secondary query to get the term_id’s for the relevant terms. If none are found, then it returns 0 = 1 instead, to … Read more
