Issue with hierarchical categories

Hi, which function do you use for getting those terms?

And if you disable the plugin, do you get them hierarchically?

$terms = get_the_terms($post_id, ‘class’);
class is a custom tax

Same as disabling the plugin, I thoung it leaves something order-related around.

To put terms hyerarchically I must give the right order in the plugin.

Hi, the function get_the_terms does retrieve the terms in a flat list. This is for displaying them in a comma-separated list for example.

The top-parent terms should have a different order, like 1, 2, 3, etc.

The sub terms are then ordered like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. So there should be somewhat of a sane order.

The order would be then like 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.

Does this make sense?

By the way, this code was used to make things more visible:

function get_the_terms_the_content( $content ) {
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, 'class' );
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo '<li>' . $term->term_id . ' ' . $term->name . ' ' . $term->term_order . ' (' . $term->parent . ')</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'get_the_terms_the_content' );
