    Hi all

    I want to get a list of all bookmark categories (i. e. category IDs) – similar to what is possible with “get_categories” for the post categories. Also, I need the corresponding name for each category ID.

    Reason is, I want to build a drop-down field to select bookmarks by category.

    I tried wp_list_categories(‘echo=0’), but this does not seem to return an array or something… and then I tried get_bookmarks – but I couldn’t figure out how the array is built…. can someone help me, I am pretty sure that I am quite near to the solution…

  • Try this:

    <?php
  $taxonomy = 'link_category';
  $title = 'Link Category: ';
  $args ='';
  $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
  if ($terms) {
    foreach($terms as $term) {
      if ($term->count > 0) {
        echo '<p>' . $title .' ID = '. $term->term_id . ' ' . $term->name . ' contains ' . $term->count . ' link(s). </p> ';
      }
    }
  }
?>

    Thanks – I solved this with other means, meantime, as the drop-down is not necessary any more. I set this to solved, in order for others to serve as reference. ??

    I cut this down to

    <?php
    $taxonomy = ‘link_category’;
    $title = ‘Link Category: ‘;
    $args =”;
    $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
    if ($terms) {
    foreach($terms as $term) {
    if ($term->count > 0) {
    echo ‘<p>’ . $term->name . ‘ </p> ‘;
    }
    }
    }
    ?>

    just to list the link categories. It is possible to make them clickable so you can go to a page showing that category’s links?
