Taxonomy Breadcrumb – Need to get Single Taxonomy Term, not the whole tree

    Hi!
    I want to show only one taxonomy term in the breadcrumb of a page, for example:
    If the transplant type is “Pediatric Allogeneic”, the below code will show it:
    `<?php global $post;
    $fact_post_id = $post->ID;
    $fact_taxonomy = ‘transplant-types’;
    the_terms( $fact_post_id, $fact_taxonomy, ‘Showing Results For: ‘, ‘ / ‘ );
    echo ‘</div>’;
    ?>`

    But it also shows each term in the taxonomy. I’m hoping there is a quick way to only show “Pediatric Allogeneic” in the breadcrumb list. I’m using WCK to create the custom taxonomy. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    – Are you using a plugin for breadcrumb? Yes? Which plugin? Where did you download it from?
    – Is this a feature of your active theme? Yes? What’s the name of this theme? Where did you download it from?

    Hello – I got the code from this tutorial:
    https://rudrastyh.com/wordpress/terms-in-breadcrumbs.html

    I am using my own theme.

    I’m not familiar with that code, sorry.

    I recommend asking at where you got that code so you can get support from the people who know it best.

    So I shouldn’t ask for help with WordPress code on a WordPress forum? I want to learn, and the code above is not particularly unique, I’m just declaring 2 variables and calling a default wordpress function. I feel like I’m missing something to filter the results, but the codex doesn’t include information on that.

    Best is to ask the place you got that code from ??

    Hello katzw,

    If you select only one taxonomy term for that particular page or post I think this will be works:

    <?php 
global $post;
$fact_post_id = $post->ID;
$fact_taxonomy = "transplant-types";
$Cat = wp_get_post_terms( $fact_post_id, $fact_taxonomy, array("fields" => "names"));
echo "Showing Results For: ".$Cat[0];
?>

    Thanks,

    Hi Rishishah,
    Thank you so much for sending this in, however it pulls the first item in the taxonomy, not the term that was clicked. I’ll keep trying!

    So I figured it out – I knew it had to be simple:

    <?php
    $term = get_term_by( ‘slug’, get_query_var( ‘term’ ), get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ) ); ?>
    <p>You are viewing the following Clinical Type: <?php echo $term->name; ?></p>

    So the above gets the taxonomy and the term that was clicked in order to display it. Super simple, I just didn’t know what function to use, and maybe this helps somebody else!
