List taxonomy terms which start with certain letter

Try something like this:

[pass list='A~Z']
 [for each=apple]
  [if each_field=name start='{ITEM}']
   [each link]
  [/if]
 [/for]
[/pass]

If this is not working, set a variable with [each name] and run the if-statement against the variable.

@polarracing , thank you for taking the time and answering my question.

The above code did not work. It lists all the taxonomy terms.

About setting variables with [each name], could you please elaborate your answer? I did not get it.

Thanks.

Hi, this works for me – it sorts the taxonomy by term-name. Simply replace the cat name and use:

[pass list='A~Z']
[for each=cars_touring_cat]
[set test][each name][/set]
[if var=test start='{ITEM}']
[get test]
[/if]
[/for]
[/pass]

You can add the actual list item with {ITEM}. To get only terms with ‘A’ change the passed list.

Perfect! Thanks for your informative answer.

One more thing:

How to convert the taxonomy names into taxonomy links?

I’ve tried:

[pass list='A']
[for each=custom_taxonomy]
[set test][each name][/set]
[if var=test start='{ITEM}']
<a href="[url]/custom_taxonomy/[get test]">[each name]</a>
[/if]
[/for]
[/pass]

However, this doesn’t recognize the [get test]. It only directs to : https://www.mysite.com/custom_taxonomy

For the record, this is how I managed it:

[pass list='A']
[for each=custom_taxonomy]
[set test][each name][/set]
[if var=test start='{ITEM}']
<ul class="my_class"><li class="my_class">[each link]<span class="my_class_count">[loop-count type=custom_post_type taxonomy=custom_taxonomy]</span></li></ul>
[/if]
[/for]
[/pass]
