I'm having a little trouble with a custom taxonomy template. I inherited a site that was developed by someone else and they use "Types" plugin to add some custom taxonomies.
Goal:
to have an archive template that shows only posts with a certain taxonomy term in it at example-domain.com/people/harrison-ford
Problem:
This code is bringing in posts that do not have the taxonomy selected.
Here's my full code:
<?php
$year = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'year', true);
$post_type = 'post';
$tax = 'people';
$tax_terms = get_terms( $tax );
if ($tax_terms) {
$args = array(
'post_type' => $post_type,
'people' => 'harrison-ford',
"$tax" => $tax_term->slug,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1,
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => DESC
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<h2 class="wwNews"><?php echo $tax_term->name; ?> News</h2>
<?php while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<-- display stuff -->
<?php endwhile; // end of loop ?>
<?php endif; // if have_posts()
wp_reset_query();
}
?>
What are you expecting here? "$tax" is going to to be 'people' =>, which is going to overwrite 'harrison-ford' to the value of $tax_term->slug.
'people' => 'harrison-ford',
"$tax" => $tax_term->slug,
Furthermore, I don't know of any custom argument called people, I'm pretty sure that you want tax_query:
'tax_query' => array(
'taxonomy' => 'people',
'terms' => array('harrison-ford', $tax_term->slug)
)
Which will give you the results of all people matching harrison-ford and the value of $tax_term->slug within the taxonomy of people

I currently have the following set up:
Custom post type called "workshops"
Within the workshop post type I have a taxonomy called "workshop-status"
Workshop status subsequently has categories for example "past-event"
I have been using the code below to fetch posts within a particular post type:
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'workshops', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) ); ?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
content here...
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
My question is: how can I change this to fetch a post from the past-event category within my custom post type, and custom taxonomy?
My aim is to have multiple page templates and target each category individually.
I have tried changing the arrange to target the category alone, but this did not work. I cannot find an online resource on how to target all aspects.
You simply need to add the category attribute like so:
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'category_name' => 'past-event' ) );
So in your example case, this would become:
$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'workshops', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'category_name' => 'past-event' ) );
You can do a whole load of stuff as detailed in the code
If I understand you correctly, you're looking for something like this:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'workshops',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'workshop-status',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'past-event'),
'operator' => 'IN'
),
)
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
//do your stuff
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
I need some help here as I've exhausted every place I can trying to find information. This is what I'm trying to do:
I have created a custom Post type in my admin called "Classes"
That works fine, the data works great and it's inputting in the admin.
I want to make a custom template to show this custom post type. However, everything I try it's not displaying properly. I've tried many code variations.
I know someones already done this and has the block of code to display this. This is what I need the code to do:
List All categories in my custom post type 'classes'
List all posts (show all content, not a link or excerpt) inside of each category.
Display it as such (I'm using Jquery Accordion)
the_category()
the_title()
the_content()
========================================================
By the way, Here is the block of code I'm currently using. It does work, but it ONLY shows the posts, all of them. It does not show the category with posts inside of them.
<?php
$type = 'classes';
$args = array (
'post_type' => $type,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'ignore_sticky_posts'=> 1
);
$temp = $wp_query; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post();
echo '<h3 class="acc1">';
the_title();
echo '</h3>';
echo '<div class="sc"><div class="vs">View Schedule</div>';
the_content();
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
else :
echo '<h2>Not Found</h2>';
get_search_form();
endif;
$wp_query = $temp;
?>
Community, I need you. Please give your feedback!
What you want to do is actually start with a category query. You have to make sure you query all your categories with your custom post type:
Then for each category you would do pretty much what you have above.
$taxonomy = 'classes';
$args = array('hide_empty' => false,);
$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
foreach($terms as $val) {
$term_id = $val->term_id;
$term_name = $val->name;
// now do post query
}
You most likely would have to display the category name as a header for your accordion as well.
Here's all the args for get_terms:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms
For that query you also most likely have to use a Simple Taxonomy Query (search for that on the page).
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
By adding this arg to your above query:
'tax_query' =>
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( $term_name )
)
Is that what you were looking for?
There might be a better way to do this but I just had to recently do this and did pretty much what I just outlined here.
I should have been more clear and said to put the posts query within the foreach of the terms query.
Here's the updated answer based on your last reply (I have not tested this).
<?php
$taxonomy = 'classes';
$args = array('hide_empty' => false,);
$terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );
foreach($terms as $val) {
$term_id = $val->term_id;
$term_name = $val->name;
$type = 'classes';
$args = array (
'post_type' => $type,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'ignore_sticky_posts'=> 1,
'tax_query' =>
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( $term_name )
)
);
$temp = $wp_query; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post();
echo '<h3 class="acc1">';
the_title();
echo '</h3>';
echo '<div class="sc"><div class="vs">View Schedule</div>';
the_content();
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
else :
echo '<h2>Not Found</h2>';
get_search_form();
endif;
$wp_query = $temp;
}
?>
Can any body please help me to sort the featured products only using different sorting attributes like price,date in woo-commerce.
I have tried the code
function sort_by()
{
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'meta_key' => '_featured',
'meta_value' => 'yes',
'posts_per_page' => '-1',
'orderby' => $_POST['sorter'] ,
'order'=>'ASC'
);
$featured_query = new WP_Query( $args );
print_r($featured_query);
if ($featured_query->have_posts()) :
while ($featured_query->have_posts()) :
$featured_query->the_post();
$product = get_product( $featured_query->post->ID );
echo the_title();
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query(); // Remember to reset
die();
}
add_action('wp_ajax_sort_by','sort_by');
add_action('wp_ajax_no-prev_sort_by','sort_by');
The above code works when ajax hit but it's cannot sort the feature products according to date, price, popularity and rating.
I am having issues with custom post type categories display.
I have created custom post type for review site
I want to show different categories in different tabs
but when I put any category of review in menu it shows all reviews
instead of showing reviews from specific category
For example:
I have created 2 categories in reviews
a) Games
b) software
Whenever I choose Games category it shows posts from software category too.
I had same issue with blog posts categories but I resolved that issue using code
in my category.php file
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$cat_id = get_cat_ID( single_cat_title(null, false) );
query_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'paged' => $paged,
'cat'=>$cat_id,
));
I have created taxonomy.php file for custom post type
<?php $mypost = array( 'post_type' => 'cpreviews','paged' => $paged);
$loop = new WP_Query( $mypost ); ?>
Can anyone please help us to understand what we need to do to display posts
according to categories for custom post types?
UPDATED CODE IN TAXONOMY.PHP but still have some issue:
I have changed above code under taxonomy.php to
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
//$currentTerm = $_GET[ 'term' ];
$cat_id = get_cat_ID( single_cat_title(null, false) );
$mypost = array('post_type' => 'cptreviews',
'paged' => $paged,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_reviews_product_category',
'terms' => (''),
'field' => 'slug',
'name' =>'Product Category',
)
)
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $mypost ); ?>
Now whenever I put category in 'terms' => ('kids') like this it shows all posts under that category only. but I want to take that 'terms value' dynamically.
Try this one:
<?php
$type = 'cpreviews';
$args=array(
'post_type' => $type,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><?php the_title(); ?></p>
<?php
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
Supposing you have Custom Post Type: cpReviews --- Custom Taxonomy: RevCategories --- Create new review post and chose category from RevCategories. Query cpReviews will definitely show all the posts, you need to do some thing like this -----
query_posts(array(
'post_type' =>'cpreviews', //Custom_Post_TYpe
'showposts' => $limit,
'RevCategories' => 'Games',)); //Custom Post Type TAxonomy (can use page name here get_query_var('pagename'); for dynamic content
while (have_posts()): the_post(); global $post; echo the_title(); endwhile;
I have resolved this issue by creating taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php file & removed tax query code..it automatically takes given category..thanks all for your help
This will resolve this issue.
$args = array(
'post_type'=> 'post',
'cat' => 'Games'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if($the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
I've been searching high and low for and answer to this, but I'm not actually sure it's possible!
I have a WP_Query that pulls posts from almost everything, however, I wish to exclude a specific category and/or all it's sub categories.
Searching around people are yet to find a solution for this.
Here's my query so far:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'sell_media_item',
'cat' => -98,
'orderby' => 'desc',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 20
); ?>
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
I thought just excluding cat 98 would grab all the sub categories too, but apparently not.
I've tried using:
category__not_in, depth=0, parent=0 and even an adaptation of this, with no luck.
Any ideas?
[EDIT]
I'm using a custom taxonomy called Collections, so putting 'collection' => 'vip' into the query means it will only show this collection. I'm thinking if there's a way of reversing this so it excludes the collection instead?
As it's not possible to list all of the categories that will appear here as they will be changing all of the time.
[EDIT 2]
After the discussion in the comments below, here's the updated code.
$ex = array(
'taxonomy' => 'collection',
'child_of' => 98,
'hide_empty' => 0
);
$categories = get_categories($ex);
$categoriesToExclude = array();
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$categoriesToExclude[] = $category->cat_ID;
}
echo('<pre>'); var_dump($categories);
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'sell_media_item',
'category__not_in' => $categoriesToExclude,
'orderby' => 'desc',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 20
); ?>
<?php echo('<br /><pre>'); var_dump($args); ?>
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
I would get the list of all sub categories with get_categories() and then build a 'cat' exclusion array based on the results.
$args = array('parent' => 98);
$categories = get_categories($args);
$categoriesToExclude = array();
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$categoriesToExclude[] = $category->cat_ID;
}
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'sell_media_item',
'category__not_in' => $categoriesToExclude,
'orderby' => 'desc',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 20
); ?>
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
This is just an example, you may have to modify it slightly to fit your needs.
So!
It appears I was trying to do the impossible. I couldn't get this script working for the life of me. So I tried a different angle. Instead of excluding a custom taxonomy and its terms, I decided to move all of my other terms into a parent term and just called that instead.
Here's the code if anyone's interested...
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'sell_media_item',
'taxonomy' => 'collection',
'term' => 'clubs',
'orderby' => 'desc',
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => 20
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) : while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
I wrote my own function in order to exclude subcategory posts from the loop, using tips from the above post and elsewhere.
In my theme archive.php file, above the loop, I list the subcategories (optional):
<?php
$current_cat = get_queried_object();
$args = array( 'parent'=>$current_cat->term_id, 'child_of' => $current_cat->term_id, );
$categories = get_categories( $args );
foreach($categories as $category) { ?>
<h2><?php echo $category->name ;?></h2>
<p> etc....</p>
<?php } ?>
In my functions.php file, I've added the following custom function using pre_get_posts:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'main_query_without_subcategory_posts' );
function main_query_without_subcategory_posts( $query ) {
if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
// Not a query for an admin page.
// It's the main query for a front end page of your site.
if ( is_category() ) {
//Get the current category
$current_category = get_queried_object();
//get the id of the current category
$current_cat_id = $current_category->term_id;
//find the children of current category
$cat_args = array( 'parent'=>$current_category->term_id, 'child_of' => $current_category->term_id, );
$subcategories = get_categories( $cat_args );
//Get a list of subcategory ids, stick a minus sign in front
$subcat_id = array();
foreach($subcategories as $subcategory) {
$subcat_id[] = " -". $subcategory->term_id;
}
//join them together as a string with a comma seperator
$excludesubcatlist = join(',', $subcat_id);
//If you have multiple parameters, use $query->set multiple times
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '10' );
$query->set( 'cat', ''.$current_cat_id.','.$excludesubcatlist.'' );
}
}
}
Then in the archive.php, below the subcategories, I've added the regular WordPress loop which is now being modified by the above function:
<?php while (have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title();?></h2>
<p> etc....</p>
<?php endwhile;?>
Though the WordPress codex says that using "category__in" will exclude posts from subcategories, that didn't work for me and subcategory posts were still showing.
