You can’t use wp_set_post_terms() to set the term description, but you can use wp_insert_term() to create the term and set the description (plus other details), and then pass the term ID to wp_set_post_terms(). Working example for one term: $taxonomy = ‘category’; $term_name=”Foo Bar”; // First we create the term (if it doesn’t already exist). if … Read more
Why not use wp_list_categories( ‘taxonomy=section’ ) ? It’ll do all the nesting & hard work for you! If you want more control over the HTML output, implement a custom walker.
You can pass an array of terms to wp_set_object_terms, there is no need for the for each: $genres= array(‘action’, ‘comedy’, ‘horror’); $ret = wp_set_object_terms( $postId, $genres, ‘genres’);
You need send a fourth argument to the function: wp_set_post_terms($post_id, $actor_term_id, ‘actor’, true); Each time the function executes, you’re replacing any existing terms. The fourth argument specifies that you wish to append them. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_set_post_terms
Ok, I just stumbled upon the answer buried deep in the github issues page: https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/1403 The answer is: the reason is that the terms / meta etc are different objects, and in typical REST design going a GET on a single resource, will give you that resource, not that resource and a bunch of other … Read more
For the sake of performance, you should rather use get_the_terms() to get the post terms and then use usort to sort the results. wp_get_object_terms() are not cached and therefor requires an extra db call per post queried. While at it, also, you would want to pass the complete term object to get_term_link(). If the term … Read more
Firstly, create some sort of association between the icon class and the term name: $icons = array( ‘webinar’ => ‘fa-desktop’, ‘report’ => ‘fa-file-text-o’, ‘video’ => ‘fa-youtube-play’, ‘past-project’ => ‘fa-cogs’, ‘meeting-material’ => ‘fa-users’, ‘info-sheet’ => ‘fa-info-circle’, ); Then loop through each term assigned to the post and output the corresponding icon: $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), ‘type’ … Read more
wp_get_object_terms() isn’t the problem. the_taxonomies() is doing the outputting; it doesn’t return anything. So, your code is equivalent to: the_taxonomies( ‘before=<ul><li>&sep=</li><li>&after=</li></ul>’ ); wp_get_object_terms( $id, null ); Now, if you go to wp-includes/taxonomy.php you will find the dot in the_taxonomies() source. To remove the dot, you need to add a filter: function remove_the_dot($template) { return ‘%s: … Read more
It is not good practice to use query when you have already builtin functions but for your need. Try this solution: global $wpdb; $meta = $wpdb->get_row( “SELECT * FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE `meta_id` = $id” ); //will return same object like returned by get_metadata_by_mid() function print_r($meta); Debugging Technique: As you mentioned, get_metadata_by_mid() isn’t working on live … Read more
Looking at the get_terms function definition, the value for name__like will be passed to the SQL query like: ” AND t.name LIKE ‘{$name__like}%'” As such, I believe that you can only search for one of the numbers. As an alternative strategy, you could iterate over the numbers you want to pull from the database: $terms … Read more
