Get terms and taxonomy from current post within a loop

  • Hi ..

    I’ve got this shortcode down below I use to get date, permalink, and some custom fields.
    I was wondering If your plugin could get the term of each post that is returned ?

    here is my shortcode :

    /* ############## LATEST FUNDARGERDIR ARCHIVE ############### */
// create shortcode to list latest fundargerdir
add_shortcode( 'naestu-fundargerdir-archive', 'post_listing_shortcode' );
function post_listing_shortcode( $atts ) {
    ob_start();
    $query = new WP_Query( array(
        'post_type' => 'fundargerdir',
        'NONE' => 'NONE',
        'posts_per_page' => 10,
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'orderby' => 'date',
    ) );
    if ( $query->have_posts() ) { ?>
        <div >
            <?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
            <ul id="nyjustu_fundargerdir" class="nyjustu_10_fundargerdir" style="list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
                <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><span class="fundargerd_dagurinn" style="float: leaft; margin-right: 5px;"><?php echo get_the_date('d.m.Y'); ?>  </span><span class="fundar_nr"> <?php /* echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'ptb_text_4', true ); */ ?> - </span> <?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'ptb_text_2', true ); ?></a></li>
            </ul>
            <?php endwhile;
            wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
        </div>
    <?php $myvariable = ob_get_clean();
    return $myvariable;
    }
}

    I dont see any type of shortcode to get the term or taxonomy from the post

    any suggestions ?

    For this situation, I recommend staying with PHP – it is more direct and efficient.

    Just before </li>, you can do something like this:

    <?php

$id = get_the_ID();
$taxonomy = 'your-taxonomy';
$terms = get_the_terms( $id, $taxonomy );
foreach ($terms as $term) {

  // Here you can display the terms how you want

  echo 'TERM: '.$term->name;
}
?>

    If you really want to use shortcodes, please see the documentation under Main Features -> Taxonomy. Inside PHP, you can call shortcodes like: 

    <?php do_short(' Your shortcodes here '); ?>

    Hi

    Thank you for your very quick response.
    Always good support

    But I have multiple taxonomies I need to generate.
    Is it possible to change your code to listen to all terms within a post-type ?

    You can get multiple taxonomies, but I believe it’s not possible to get all terms without specifying their taxonomy name or ID. Here is an example:

    $id = get_the_ID();
$taxonomies = array('first-taxonomy', 'second-taxonomy');
foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {
  $terms = get_the_terms( $id, $taxonomy );
  foreach ($terms as $term) {

    // Here you can display the terms how you want
    echo 'TERM: '.$term->name;
  }
}

    Hi again

    Thanks for the reply.
    Your solution worked and solved my case ??

    I think that this is the only thing your plugin cannot do ?? get terms or tax ??

    Ive been creating this HUGE website for city hall of my country.

    With the help of your plugin , im able to create all kinds complex shortcodes for them to simplify their work. So thank you very much for creating this plugin and supporting it. Because im not much of a coder. But with your plugin I look like a pro ?? hehehe…

    Im still waiting for the professional version to be published.
    Or some addons I can buy.

    Let me know when that happens and i’ll buy them all ??
    It amazes me that this plugin is only on 9000 sites

    Best regards

    Hi @baroninn,

    Thank you for the kind words and confirming that it worked.

    You might find useful to know that there is [taxonomy] as well as [for each] to get taxonomy loops and terms, documented under Main Features -> Taxonomy.

    As for “Pro version”, I’m working on a new product, should be ready soon..

    That’s cool to hear. Managing a large amount of data can be challenging, with this plugin and also WordPress itself, depending on server capacity.
