get_the_terms

  • I am trying to get the value from a custom taxonomy using get_the_terms. Seems like a simple thing but I havent been able to get it to work:

    while ($query4->have_posts() ) : $query4->the_post();
						if( has_term('' , 'orderIt1' )) {
								 $theIDforordering2 = get_the_ID();
							 $firstRandArray = get_the_terms( $theIDforordering2, orderIt1 );

							$secondRandArray = get_the_terms( $theIDforordering2, orderIt2 );

var_dump ($firstRandArray);
							var_dump ($firstRandArray['"name"']);

} else {echo "";}

    When I do var_dump for the $firstRand it comes back with this:

    array(1) { [0]=> object(WP_Term)#3105 (11) { [“term_id”]=> int(32) [“name”]=> string(1) “1” [“slug”]=> string(1) “1” [“term_group”]=> int(0) [“term_taxonomy_id”]=> int(32) [“taxonomy”]=> string(8) “orderIt1” [“description”]=> string(0) “” [“parent”]=> int(0) [“count”]=> int(1) [“filter”]=> string(3) “raw” [“object_id”]=> int(188) } }

    The custom tag for this post is “1”. So I guess it is under “name”. How do I access that and strip off the string(1) and the quotation marks?

    I thought I might get it with $firstRandArray[‘”name”‘] or $firstRandArray[‘name’] or $firstRandArray->name but all return NULL.

  • Hello atrag,

    The $firstRand array also returns the set of array which indexing from 0 to on-words so if you want get all the terms assigned to post you have loop through the array ‘$firstRandArray’ using ‘for’ loop.

    OR
    If you want to get single term name value directly you can get by using below:

    $firstRandArray[0]->name ,
$firstRandArray[1]->name

    like this please try you get your result.

    Thanks
