term_id is a unique ID for the term. term_taxonomy_id is a unique ID for the term+taxonomy pair. A taxonomy consists of sometimes many terms, so basically the term_taxonomy_id links the term_id to the taxonomy. All info on these can be found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Taxonomy
the answer actually turned out to be incredibly simple. Since I was already: $term = $wp_query->queried_object; I could simple do: $term->parent
If you get_term() you can access the description via the description property. To update a term you can use wp_update_term().
As the other’s mentioned, wp_list_categories will work if you you want to do a list of things (just like wp_list_pages does for pages). If you specifically want the link (URL), you can use get_term_link. If you just have the term ID, it would look something like this. <?php $term_id = some_function_that_returns_term_id(); $term_link = get_term_link($term_id, ‘your_custom_taxonomy’); … Read more
Seems like the easiest thing to do is to apply the tax query only if at least one “experience” term has been specified. Something like: // Get passed vars $experience = $_GET[‘experience’]; // Start building the args array $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ); // If any experience items were passed if( is_array( $experience … Read more
1). Inside your foreach (term child) loop you first have: echo wp_get_attachment_image( $termThumb->image_id, ‘thumb’ ) ; but $termThumb isn’t set yet. So on the first iteration it doesn’t do anything. 2) Then you have another foreach loop: if ( ! empty( $termThumbs ) ) { foreach( $termThumbs as $termThumb ) { print wp_get_attachment_image( $termThumb->image_id, ‘thumb’ … Read more
@Sisir linked you to the appropriate place, if you had read the question/answer and the linked Codex documentation you’d have seen that you could do something like the following: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘dealers’ ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘state’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array(‘bob’,’angela’,’john’,’smith’,’jan’,’doe’,’etc…’) ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( … Read more
You’re using a deprecated method of querying by taxonomy. Read the Codex and use tax_query: $args=array( ‘post_type’ => ‘book’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘caller_get_posts’=> 1, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘facts’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘information’ ) ) ); FYI, caller_get_posts is also deprecated.
Don’t stomp on the $wp_query global. Use your own variable to hold your query instead: $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); Then, you can use a little trick to fix pagination. Do this before the loop: global $wp_query; // Store it for safekeeping $temp_wp_query = $wp_query; // Now blank it out $wp_query = null; // … Read more
is_tax() returns true on a taxonomy archive page, it has nothing to do with whether terms exist in a taxonomy. you just need to add a check for anything returned from wp_list_categories before outputting any markup: <?php $args_list = array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘productcategory’, ‘title_li’ => __(”), ‘show_count’ => false, ‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘echo’ => ‘0’, … Read more
