taxonomy-$taxonomy.php template issues

    Giving myself grey hairs over this one. Much appreciated if anyone can help out.

    I have a custom post type – Locations. It has a custom taxonomy – Triptypes. The taxonomy has 8 terms in it. The 8 terms are assigned to their relevant posts.

    What query / content do I need to put in the ‘taxonomy-triptypes.php’ file for it to render just those 8 terms on a page (NOT the posts assigned to them)?

    The posts in the terms display fine with ‘taxonomy-triptypes-term-name.php – but I can’t seem to hit on a solution to display the terms themselves (and I’ve tried more than a few…)

    What am I missing?

    Thanks!

  • Hi @dan,

    Have you tried using get_terms() function as following.

    $terms = get_terms("triptypes");
 $count = count($terms);
 if ( $count > 0 ){
     echo "<ul>";
     foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
       echo "<li>" . $term->name . "</li>";

     }
     echo "</ul>";
 }

    Kind Regards,

    Ahh, thank you WPMU DEV!! You rock!

    Actually, I had used get_terms(), but I can see now that I’d dropped the crucial ‘$term->name’ in my attempts to merge the query into the way the rest of the page is displayed, namely:

    $triptype_featured_images = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( ), 'triptype-big-featured' );
			echo '<article class="' . implode( ' ', get_post_class() ) . '" itemtype="https://schema.org/ItemList" itemscope="itemscope">';
				echo '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="'. get_permalink() .'" title="'. get_the_title() .'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></h2>';
				echo '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'" title="'. get_the_title() .'" class="location-hover">';
					the_excerpt();
				echo '</a>';
				echo '<img class="aligncenter" src="'. $triptype_featured_images[0] .'" alt="'. get_the_title() .'"></a>';
			echo '</article>';
}
}
}

    Can I ask – where would I drop $term->name into this? I’m using it from elsewhere in the site, and want to keep the layout uniform.

    Thank you

    Hi @dan,

    You are most welcome.

    You can add it anywhere in between opening and closing <article> tag.
    Example:

    $triptype_featured_images = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( ), 'triptype-big-featured' );
echo '<article class="' . implode( ' ', get_post_class() ) . '" itemtype="https://schema.org/ItemList" itemscope="itemscope">';
	echo '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="'. get_permalink() .'" title="'. get_the_title() .'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></h2>';
	echo '<a href="'. get_permalink() .'" title="'. get_the_title() .'" class="location-hover">';
		the_excerpt();
	echo '</a>';
	echo '<img class="aligncenter" src="'. $triptype_featured_images[0] .'" alt="'. get_the_title() .'"></a>';
	$terms = get_terms("triptypes");
	$count = count($terms);
	if ( $count > 0 ){
		echo "<ul>";
		foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
		echo "<li>" . $term->name . "</li>";

		}
		echo "</ul>";
	}
echo '</article>';

    Cheers.

    FIXED! ?? *happy-dance* You definitely put me on the right road with that one – thank you so much!

    Once I’d found get_term_link too, it all started coming together. Here’s where I ended up:

    $terms = get_terms('triptypes');
	foreach ($terms as $term) {
	$term_link = get_term_link( $term, 'triptypes' );
	if( is_wp_error( $term_link ) )
        continue;
	$triptype_featured_images = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( ), 'triptype-big-featured' );
	echo '<article class="' . implode( ' ', get_post_class() ) . '"  itemtype="https://schema.org/ItemList" itemscope="itemscope">';
	echo '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="'. $term_link .'" title="'. $term->name .'">'. $term->name .'</a></h2>';
	echo '<a href="'. $term_link .'" title="'. $term->name .'" class="location-hover">';
		the_excerpt();
	echo '</a>';
	echo '<img class="aligncenter" src="'. $triptype_featured_images[0] .'" alt="'. get_the_title() .'"></a>';
	echo '</article>';

    ..and once I’d flushed the permalinks, voila!

    Thanks again, your help was invaluable!
