Errors in 2.0.0

Hi Lozula,

Give me a sec to look into this for you.

Thanks very much. I looked through the code and it seems I probably should have been using gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image instead, but the 2.0.0 code appears to suggest this is deprecated.

Before I answer, can I see the exact function call you’re using please?

Sure. Ultimately I just want the image src for the term image for the current page I am on, which is a category page.

$term_image_id = rgc_get_term_meta($term, ‘term_thumbnail_id’);

OK. The reason I asked to see how you’re using it is so that I can see if you’re using it specifically for the term meta stored with this plugin, or if you’re using it for the general retrieval of term meta.

rgc_get_term_meta() is a wrapper for two things: get_term_meta() and then if that failed, to get the term meta that Genesis used to add in pre-2.3.0 (2016). This code still exists in the updated plugin (which you can see here). However this is a private method not accessible directly.

The only reason this code still exists is for people running Genesis pre-2.3.0, when genesis slurped in all term meta whenever a term object was retrieved. This hasn’t been in Genesis since 2016 and I plan to phase out support for it at some point in the future.

So there are two options. First, I can add back that function for you. However I don’t suggest this.

The second solution is to use either gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image or get_term_meta to get the image ID.

Marking gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image as deprecated was a mistake that I’ll fix shortly.

Thanks for the comprehensive and useful response ?? No need to add the function back in, I’ll use one of the other two options you suggest.

Try v2.0.1 pls, I fixed a small error.

Hi – ah, thank goodness. I was going slightly crazy trying to figure out why my code wasn’t working ?? Can confirm 2.0.1 works fine, now using gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image function.

Great! Thanks for your patience and for helping me improve the code! I’ll mark this as closed now but please open a new thread if you see any other weirdness ??

Man, the update to v.2.0.1 broke my category listings with:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function rgc_get_term_meta() in…

I’ve used the function directly with the following code:
if( function_exists(‘gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image’) ) {
$image_term_id = rgc_get_term_meta( $term, ‘term_thumbnail_id’ );
}

Hi Ivan,

Sorry about that! I didn’t realize this function was being used directly. Please update your code to use

$image_term_id = gtaxi_get_taxonomy_image( array( 'term' => $term, 'format' => 'id' ) );

instead of

$image_term_id = rgc_get_term_meta( $term, ‘term_thumbnail_id’ );

I had actually replaced it all with WordPress native, plugin independent:

$image_term_id = get_term_meta( $term->term_id, ‘term_thumbnail_id’, true );

Even better!

Thank you for a great plugin – it is a must-have functionality, I think.
