I have tried something like so as well:

<?php

$terms = get_terms('producttype');
foreach ($terms as $term) {

if($term->child == 0 ){

echo '<li>';
echo $term->name;
echo '</li>';
}
}
?>

This just shows me a few children of the two parents i created I would like to target one parent term labelled “Type” and display all the child terms as links

This was strictly and issue with the ‘slug’ => ”, which must be lower case including the names of the taxonomies

Just change the from

'hierarchical' =>false,
to
'hierarchical' => true,

and then just use the drop down for the parent category

I read that there is such things as hierarchal taxonomies but how would i go about implementing that ?

<?php
    $user_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email');
    echo '<a href="mailto:' . $user_email . '">Click here to email author</a>';
?>

there is the answer if anyone was wondering.

Thanks a million Matthew!!!

Hello Matthew,

Thank you for the response, I have been to the website and read up on it. I just dont understand what it could do that standard HTML5 and CSS3 syntax cannot achieve, when integrated with wordpress.

dont forget to replace post type with your custom post type name

If anyone was wondering i found the solution in another post on this forum

Here it is :

<?php query_posts( array(
     'post_type' => array( 'post-type', 'post-type', 'post-type', 'post-type' ),
     'cat' => 3,
     'showposts' => 5 )
     ); ?>
		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post_type">

		<?php if ( 'post-type' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>FEATURE<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if ( 'post-type' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>REPORT<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if ( 'post-type' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>OPINION<?php endif; ?>
		<?php if ( 'post-type' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>BOOKMARK<?php endif; ?>
		</div>

		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a>

		<div class="excerpt">
		<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>
		</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

Thanks Stephencottontail !!!!

incredible thank you so much !!

thanks, i was just wondering if you help me out with one more thing. how would i go about styling the echo i wrapped the ‘welcome’ in a div

echo '<div class="welcome_user"> Welcome Back </div>' . $current_user->user_login . " " ;

like so, but i cant seem to do that with the .$current_user . as for the variable i would just go about doing something like this?

$logged_in = "<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/loggedin.svg">";
  $not_logged_in="<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() '/images/notloggedin.svg">";

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	echo '$logged_in';

	echo '<div class="welcome_user"> Welcome Back </div>' . $current_user->user_login . " " ;

 } else {
 	echo '$not_logged_in';
 	wp_login_form();

}
?>

Thank you very much Timothy, it worked like a charm. highly appreciated!

hello,

I found a tutorial here which shows how to complete this task except it is not working for me i do not know why i have followed all the instructions. where it tells me to add the <script> tags i have eliminated that and made a filterable.init.js which contains the code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
                   $("#portfolio-list").filterable();
                });

I know that it is bad practice to include a <script> in the page template also, i wp-enque script and i added a dependency to filterable.js but it is still not working. someone please help.

thank you.

[Moderator Note: No bumping, thank you.]

Hello all,
I have created a custom template page(project-page.php which is in my navigation menu. I have used a query to fetch the custom post type “project” using:

<div id="container">

<div id="portfolio_posts">

<?php
query_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'project',
'showposts' => -1
) );
?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<h2>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<p>
Client Name:
<span>
<?php echo get_custom_field('pf_client_name');?>
</span>
</p>

<p>
<?php echo get_custom_field('pf_project_short');?>
</p>

<div class="custom_post_thumbnail">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
</div>

<?php echo single_term_title('portfolio'); ?>
<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'portfolio', '<p>Type: ', ', ', '</p>' );?>

<?php endwhile;?>

</div><!-- #content -->

</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

this does display properly but the permalinks do not connect to the single.php does any one know why?
