Custom Taxonomy Category query – is this even possible?

  • Hey Darren,

    Is it possible to query 3 x multiple taxonomies with relationship OR. But query this within a single Category only.

    So Category = x AND (Taxonomy = a OR Taxonomy = b OR Taxonomy = c)

    From what I can see at the moment all gets set to the same relationship: “AND” or “OR”, so on my example above I can either have :

    Category x AND Taxonomy = a AND Taxonomy = b AND Taxonomy = c

    or

    Category x OR Taxonomy = a OR Taxonomy = b OR Taxonomy = c

    Which doesn’t quite achieve what I need – look forward to getting your input ??

    Hi there.
    Im not really sure how this would work…

    Category is a separate query param then all taxonomies get lumped together into a tax query.

    So im saying… this query would always use the following:

    Category Term AND Taxonomy Terms

    Hi Darren,

    Can we use multiple taxonomies with a relatiosnship OR

    Yes, in the shortcode builder.

    Thanks Darren

    Hi Darren,
    I tried to create one using short code builder without any success. Is it possible to post a sample shortcode

    Like this?
    [ajax_load_more post_type="post" taxonomy="download_category:portfolio-type" taxonomy_terms="ajax-load-more:wordpress" taxonomy_operator="IN:IN" taxonomy_relation="OR]

    Hey Darren,

    So basically in WP queries I can set nested queries so I can say show me all posts from category = x AND (taxonomy = a OR taxonomy = b OR taxonomy = c)

    And I think by what you are saying via your plugin we can’t quite get this level of querying as it is all the same level of querying (without the ability to nest).

    So if I do this :

    [ajax_load_more post_type=”post” category=”opinions” taxonomy=”sector:practice:country” taxonomy_terms=”mining, oil-and-gas:banking-and-finance, corporate:africa” taxonomy_operator=”IN:IN:IN” taxonomy_relation=”OR”]

    Even though I have Category set to Opinions, as I have multiple taxonomies and the relationship set is OR, this OR applies across the board, meaning that I am in fact not just getting the category I have set, I will get results of any Category.

    The alternative is to change it to relationship AND as below :

    [ajax_load_more post_type=”post” category=”opinions” taxonomy=”sector:practice:country” taxonomy_terms=”mining, oil-and-gas:banking-and-finance, corporate:africa” taxonomy_operator=”IN:IN:IN” taxonomy_relation=”AND”]

    But then sadly as the taxonomy is set to AND, it will only show me Opinions which are in ALL the Taxonomy pots which sadly is too specific and massively minimises the results.

    Do you think this might be something that could be possible in future? ??

    If you need to get crazy with your query you can use the alm_modify_query_args filter.
