User Contributed Notes User Contributed Notes
You must log in before being able to contribute a note or feedback.
It’s very important to note that if you wish to get the taxonomy terms for a given post, your first choice should be using get_the_terms() since it uses the WordPress object cache and can potentialy save a lot of extra queries.
This is specially useful if you’re looping over posts results, because WP_Query by default loads all the terms for the queried posts.
Example
Returns a list of all ‘product’ taxonomy terms that are applied to $post:
$product_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'product' ); if ( ! empty( $product_terms ) ) { if ( ! is_wp_error( $product_terms ) ) { echo '<ul>'; foreach( $product_terms as $term ) { echo '<li><a href="' . esc_url( get_term_link( $term->slug, 'product' ) ) . '">' . esc_html( $term->name ) . '</a></li>'; } echo '</ul>'; } }
