term_exists(‘artist’), has_term(‘artist’), is_tax(‘artist’) and is_category(‘artist’) don’t seem to do the trick. I’m 100% certain that the taxonomy is “artist”.

Must be missing something obvious? Thanks in advance for any help!

<?php if ( is_page() ) {
    do something
} elseif ( is_tax('artist') ) {

foreach ($mycategories as $mycat){
	$myterm = term_exists($mycat->Name, 'product_cat');
if ($myterm !== 0 && $myterm !== null) {
 	$cat_ID_array = 	get_term_by( 'name', $cat->Name, 'product_cat');
$cat_ID = $cat_ID_array->term_id;
} else {
 $cat_name = $cat->Name;
   $catid = wp_insert_term($cat_name, 'product_cat');
<em>$cat_ID = $catid['term_id'];</em>

}
	 echo '<input type="checkbox" name="prod_category[]" checked value="'.$cat_ID.'" ><label>'.$cat->Name.'</label>';
	}
foreach ($subcategories as $subcat){
	$subterm = term_exists($subcat->Name, 'product_cat');
if ($subterm !== 0 && $subterm !== null) {
 	$subcat_ID_array = 	get_term_by( 'name', $subcat->Name, 'product_cat');
$subcat_ID = $subcat_ID_array->term_id;
} else {
 $subcat_name = $subcat->Name;
   $subcatid = wp_insert_term($subcat_name, 'product_cat');
	$subcat_ID = $subcatid['term_id'];
}
	 echo '<input type="checkbox" name="prod_category[]" checked value="'.$subcat_ID.'" ><label>'.$subcat->Name.'</label>';
	}

I am getting an error on the line = $cat_ID = $catid[‘term_id’];

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in…..formsubmission.php on line 226

Can anyone point me in the right direction please ?

The structure of categories:
Category
– Titleist

code:
$ term = term_exists (‘Titleist’, $ taxonomy, 0);
echo print_r ($ term);

answer:
Array
(
[term_id] => 1204
[term_taxonomy_id] => 1204
)

Answer should be NULL!

Am I doing something wrong? How can I search only for the parent category?
Thank!

When I try to add the code to a taxonomy, I get an error saying that:

Error: term_exists is not defined

It comes from this if statement in the script:

// Add Code to taxonomy
                if (term_exists(code, wheel_type)) {
                     alert(code);
                     }
                else
                     {
                     wp_insert_term(code, wheel_type);
                     }

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong, or how to add a term to a taxonomy from with in a Javascript section?

Now, I want to add that tire code to the wheel_type taxonomy.

The below code ran great, until I added the if statement under //Add code to Taxonomy

Now nothing is working, but I get nothing in the error console.

I figure it must be a stupid syntax mistake – can anyone help me out?

Or am I missing something else?

jQuery('#replace').click(function(){
 		//get tire code and name
 		var code = jQuery('input[name="tire_code"]').val();
 		var name = jQuery('input[name="tire_name"]').val();
 		var bname = jQuery('input[name="tire_bname"]').val();

 		         alert(code + " + " + name + " + " + bname);

 		//get tire brand
 		var tirebran = jQuery('#tire_brandchecklist').find(":checked").parent('label').text();
 		tirebran = jQuery.trim( tirebran );

                //Add code to Taxonomy

                if( term_exists( code, wheel_type ){
 		     continue;
                     }
 	        else
 		     {
                     wp_insert_term( code, wheel_type );
                     }

 		//update title
 		var title = code + ' : ' + name + ' tires';
 		if(tirebran!=''){
 			title += ' with ' + bname + ' letters';
 		}
 		jQuery('input[name="post_title"]').focus().val(title);
 	});
 	//-->
	</script>

I have tried everything I could find, and the only one that has worked at all is “term_exists”.

However, it is not just calling header2 into this category, but into ALL categories of this custom post type.

<?php if (term_exists( 71 )) {
get_header('header2');
} else {
session_start(); get_header();
}?>

This seems like it would be a simple fix, but I have killed hours upon hours on this. Any suggestions?
