Querying Taxonomies

Its a standalone function, so can be used in or outside of the content loop. This is how I’m using it within my functions.php file…

$subterms = get_associated_terms( 'tasks', $term->term_id );

if ( $subterms ) {
	$item_output .= '<div><h5>' . __( 'Tasks' ) . '</h5><ul>';
	foreach ( $subterms as $subterm ) {
		$item_output .= '<li><a href="' . $term_link . 'tasks/' . $subterm->slug . '">' . $subterm->name . '</a></li>';
	}
	$item_output .= '</ul></div>';
}

Try removing the WHERE clause from my SQL string and print_r() the resulting Object to your page. Is it returning anything?

@cornflower Design,

I figured the problem! Turn out I forgot to change the $wpdb->posts.post_type = ‘post’ to the custom post type. Now it works like a charm!!!

Thanks, You rock!

@wp_dummy : To maintain flexibility you could add a third parameter (defaulting to ‘post’) to the function to allow you to specify the target post type.

get_associated_terms( $taxonomy_slug, $term_id = 0, $post_type = 'post' )

@cornflower Design, wow…never thought of that. thank you very much . ??
