Display custom taxonomy (like “the_category”) for custom post type

[jonedwards]

Hi there

I have a custom post type, “entrepreneurs”, with a custom taxonomy, “sectors” attached to it. Here is the code (http://codepad.org/ceQH4a6a) for my custom post type registrations.

Things you might need to know:

• “Entrepreneurs” are heirachical, like pages.
• “Sectors” are like the categories for the post type

What I want to do…

In both my archive and single views, I would like to display the assigned sector name for the post below the title – in the same way that you would in, say, a blog article, using “the_category” or something similar. Like so:

<?php the_category('', '', $post_id) ?>

The full block of code can be found here (http://codepad.org/ub3c9N9P).

I want the H4 to output the custom taxonomy, without a link – resulting in the following layout (http://db.tt/xiL3w0ty). The grey text below the title is sector taxonomy.

I’ve tried a number of solutions found on various forums and resources, but none are working for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction, Rob.

I used the following:

<h4><?php $terms = get_terms("sectors"); $count = count($terms); if ( $count > 0 ){ foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->name; } } ?> Sector</h4>

It seems to work.

As this is a “client” website, and they usually screw everything up when editing, I’d prefer to be able to limit the number of terms outputted to 1. Any help..?

I use the following to display a term without a link. Not sure how to limit but should be easy enough.

AFAIK, this is the correct code to use. Yours looks kinda bloated.

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'taxonomyname' );

foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

echo $term->name;

}

?>

Hey Mike,

Thanks for sharing that. Always good to trim the fat… It worked.

Cheers.

Is it possible to modify this so that the term that is output is wrapped in a link that would show the archive of that taxonomy term? (the way a category often is shown)

Hi guys.

Am a beginner to wordpress and I i have been playing around with custom post types and taxonomies. I have product custom post type and three taxonomies assigned to that post type. Here is my functions file for http://codepad.org/opDNhZPf . so the product should have a category, brand and the type. Then I would like to have a query which will return a products with their respective taxonomies. I would really appreciate if i can get help.

I have played about with the code some more as I needed to display only one custom taxonomy that was a link.
However I am unable to get the link to work – anyone have any ideas on this?

See here:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'yourcustomtaxonomyhere' ); 
                    foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
                    echo '<a href="' . $term_link . '">' . $term->name . '</a>';
                    } 
                ?>

CRACKED IT!

I have managed to get the code working, see following:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'yourtaxonomyhere' ); 
                    foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
                        $term_link = get_term_link( $term, 'yourtaxonomyhere' );
                        if( is_wp_error( $term_link ) )
                        continue;
                    echo '<a href="' . $term_link . '">' . $term->name . '</a>';
                    } 
                ?>

Thanks @Brightonmike. Your code snippet is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!

Hey guys! Semi new to custom taxonomy but this code isn’t working for me! :( What am I doing wrong? http://nicoleamanda.ca/blog/test

You can create a custom taxonomy using the code in functions.php

`

add_action( ‘init’, ‘create_cw_hierarchical_taxonomy’, 0 );
//create a custom taxonomy name
function create_cw_hierarchical_taxonomy() {
$labels = array(
‘name’ => _x( ‘Topics’, ‘taxonomy general name’ ),
‘singular_name’ => _x( ‘Topic’, ‘taxonomy singular name’ ),
‘search_items’ => __( ‘Search Topics’ ),
‘all_items’ => __( ‘All Topics’ ),
‘parent_item’ => __( ‘Parent Topic’ ),
‘parent_item_colon’ => __( ‘Parent Topic:’ ),
‘edit_item’ => __( ‘Edit Topic’ ),
‘update_item’ => __( ‘Update Topic’ ),
‘add_new_item’ => __( ‘Add New Topic’ ),
‘new_item_name’ => __( ‘New Topic Name’ ),
‘menu_name’ => __( ‘Topics’ ),
);
// taxonomy register
register_taxonomy(‘topics’,array(‘post’), array(
‘hierarchical’ => true,
‘labels’ => $labels,
‘show_ui’ => true,
‘show_admin_column’ => true,
‘query_var’ => true,
‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘topic’ ),
));
}

Thanks. This worked best for me with ACF v5.8.0 showing only terms for a specific custom post.
$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'discipline');
